Do you have any controller tweaks to make aiming easier on deck? Maybe a skill issue, but in the chaos it gets real hard to hit anything in my experience

In general I’d agree, but on the deck why would you not use the trackpad as a mouse for anything first-person?

Well to each their own, but the only thing closer than the trackpad to a mouse would be a mouse.

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
Not a Steamdeck or PC user but it works just fine on console with a controller.
Try weapons like the punisher. I’m a deck only user, and while I’ve gotten rather good with the dominator, the punisher helped me get good so to speak with lots of spraying and praying.
I play on helldiver difficulty with my deck, so it is possible.
In some games, using the trackpad is super useful. Like if mouse-aiming in X3TC.
Turn on gyro, gyro to mouse, enable on right stick touch. You’ll have to play with the sensitivity settings and practice some, but aim macro with stick and use the gyro to fine tune
