Anyone only use Gyro aiming on their Steam Deck? (beehaw.org)

I have had my Steam Deck for a bit of time. While most games I am able to control fine I find myself slightly struggle with FPS games on it. With a regular controller I do fine but the spacing of the joystick on the SD tend to tire my hands out fairly quickly.

I recently tried Gyro aiming on some games and it does feel better, but I can’t quite get used to aiming that way through an entire run of the game. I’ve heard of things like FlickStick aiming to help.

Does this feel like a niche? Wouldn’t it be better to just bring a controller or M&K with your SD if you want to play a FPS?

I've been using it for Tears of the Kingdom but only because I got used to it in BOTW Otherwise though, no.

I don't play as many first person games on the deck anyway. Top downs, sidescrollers, and driving games are a way better fit for controller gameplay and the deck imo

It's really the best application of gyro. It should be a complementary feature.

Doing minor adjustments with gyro is super rewarding and feels great
