No I only use the gyro for aim, movement is just the left joystick like normal controller style FPS controls!

So what is the right stick for?

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

left joystick - movement

right joystick - broad aim adjustment

gyro - fine aim adjustment (toggleable off for menus and stuff)

So you leave gyro on all the time in game? That's what I do, and I don't even move my whole arm really, just my fingers. I still use both joysticks. Gyro's almost like aim assist, but instead of some algorithm doing the fine adjustments it's my own muscle memory.

Yeah with a toggle to turn it off briefly when I need to.
