Hey everyone,

I’m currently using controller for movement, but the gyro acts as a mouse for aiming. The problem is that my games keep stuttering or jittering whenever the gyro is active. I’m pretty sure it’s because the game is getting confused by seeing a controller and a mouse at the same time.

I’m thinking about just mapping my entire controller to K&M keys to fix the lag, but I’m worried about a few things:

• Quick Time Events: This seems like it would be a huge pain. If the screen says "Press E" or "Press R," I feel like I'm going to fail the prompt because I won't remember which controller button I mapped it to. How do you guys deal with this?
• The UI: Do you just get used to seeing keyboard icons on the screen while holding a controller?
• Movement: Do you miss having the smooth 360-degree movement of an analog stick

Any advice or tips would be appreciated!

My last console was the PS2, and back then I avoided any game with guns because aiming with a joystick just felt completely wrong to me. So I switched to PC, went full keyboard and mouse, and got pretty good at it — but single player games never really did it for me. Even on hard difficulty I'd end up dropping games at 30–50% because something felt off.

Recently I picked up the Nacon Revolution Pro mainly for football, and I had no idea it even had gyro. I was just messing around in Steam settings one day and stumbled across some options I didn't recognize. Started searching and honestly felt like I'd found a hidden gem that nobody told me about.

I'm only on day 3 and I'm already convinced this is the only way to play. The satisfaction of landing a flick shot is 100x better than mouse for me — and I say that as someone who genuinely got good at mouse aim. I played Resident Evil 6 last night for 3 hours straight, a game I never in a million years thought I'd enjoy. Now I'm thinking about replaying a bunch of games just to experience them this way.

Anyway, I have a few questions for the people who've been doing this longer:

• Can I use gyro for Valorant and PUBG on Steam and actually keep up with the lobbies, or is it still too far behind?
• How long does it realistically take to get comfortable and consistent with it?
• And just a random thought — imagine if the time and money companies put into perfecting mouse and keyboard had gone into developing gyro instead. Where would we be right now?
