Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.
Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.

Gyro on the LEFT stick is interesting. I usually have mine always on, but I guess with the track pad and everything you don't need to reach for the d-pad?
I meant right stick, sorry.
Always on is the way to go
Always on means you can't ratchet the gyro to reset your hands position
There's more then one way to gyro, so I guess I shouldn't have said it's THE way to go. But it's my preference. I treat gyro as an aggressive auto aim without the auto. Large motions are still controlled by the right joystick or touchpad, I just gyro for the fine, fast aiming. I've never felt the need to ratchet, I can reorient by swiping the touchpad intuitively.
I don't use my touch pad a whole lot, so maybe i should test it out some! Ill give your way a shot sometime soon lol
But in general i prefer my alpakka controller to the steam one anyway, super smooth gyro
Oh, I've heard of the alpakka! That one is pretty unique, looks really effective though once you get the hang of it. If you didn't know, there's also "flick stick", which is a gyro technique distinct from either. Personally, I'm hoping for a steam controller 2. The deck feels much more natural in my hands than the original steam controller did
