I’ve played a few FPSes on my Deck and I always map the joystick to medium sensitivity and the right track pad to low sensitivity and then enable gyro if the left stick is being touched so I have two ways of precision aiming.
Comment on Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.

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

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

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.

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

In some games, using the trackpad is super useful. Like if mouse-aiming in X3TC.

Oh I have no advice. Aiming with a controller is just terrible. I’m just not a “serious” gamer, and were playing beginner missions (literally my first time ever playing this game).
In theory you could probably get very good at it using the gyros but there’s a pretty big learning curve there.
Manually adjusting the deadzones will help a lot also.

The controls are near-exact match for match to Metal Gear Solid V, a game made for controller and kb+m. I prefer gamepad/steam deck to this game, hard disagree it's terrible

Well you’re entitled to your (wrong) opinions 🤪
muse@fedia.io 7 months ago
Agreed, which is why my post was a kindly worded "sounds like a skill issue bro" post
TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 7 months ago
In general I’d agree, but on the deck why would you not use the trackpad as a mouse for anything first-person?
helenslunch@feddit.nl 7 months ago
Because that’s even worse than an analog stick? 😂
TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Well to each their own, but the only thing closer than the trackpad to a mouse would be a mouse.
