Step 2: Inside the Steam Deck settings, scroll down to the Controller section. Here, tap on Open next to ‘Calibration & Advanced Settings’. Step 3: Inside the Calibration & Advanced Settings, select ‘Gyro Calibration’ from the left pane. You’ll see a grid with moving lines representing...
The Steam Deck has some unconventional controls. Will Valve will be encouraging developers to integrate gyro and trackpad aiming into their control schemes instead of sticking with the more traditional layout? This depends on what your game is and what sort of controls you're aiming for. But we...
This means both the thumbsticks and the gyros are active at the same time, so I found myself making movements I didn't intend to make. That being said, adjusting the settings to either thumbstick or gyro control shows off how well they work. If you're a fan of gyro aiming, you're...
80 Days' mouse controls are great on a trackpad. So are point-and-click adventure TheBlackwellEpiphany's. I'm never going to hit mouse-caliber time trial scores inLovely Planet Arcadeon the Deck, but I found playing it with a combination of trackpad and gyro aiming surprisingly fun. Deep...
The Gyro controls worked, letting me tilt the Steam Deck to aim, but I didn't rely on that too much, since the gameplay of Left 4 Dead is so fast and chaotic in certain moments. I tried the trackpad for aiming as well, but it didn't work very well, as the sensitivity on it ...

But when I revisited the game in December, I found another Steam Deck user had done 95 percent of the work for me. They’d uploaded a custom control scheme that felt amazing with gyro aiming, paddles to quickly lean and dodge (helpful forJuliana invasions), plus a right-touchpad mouse cu...
Deck games, off the top of my head I’m thinking some top-down action (Hades,Death’s Doorwhich I just bought), card games (Monster Train,Slay the Spire,Griftlands), and some more intensive games to see what it can do and try the gyro aiming (No Man’s Sky,Horizon Zero Dawn,...
That being said, there was a time when Steam made it possible for you to turn off gyro on Steam Deck for all games. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case, as you can only turn off gyro on a per-game basis. Hopefully, we’ll see the universal setting return to the Steam Deck ...
In the centre of the sticks, there's a touch-sensitive pad which, combined with the gyro, can make aiming in shooters a lot easier. The gyro is also worth trying out in flight and driving sims, since it adds a fantastic extra dimension of immersion and can be tweaked to no end. (...
