FAQ:
Q: Can gyro be used on consoles?
A: Yes, but it's only available on a limited list of games. If you want it for your favorite game, ask the developers about it.
Q: Can I use your configs on non-steam games?
A: Yes! Just change the name of the non-steam game to the steam ID of that game (that you can easily find on SteamDB), and you'll have access to all community configs. If the steam overlay doesn't work, try using a program called GLOSSI.
Q: Can gyro emulate the right analog stick?
A: It can, but it's not ideal. My configurations all emulate a mouse, unless stated otherwise.
Q: What is the name of the 3D Controller Overlay?
A: It's called 3D Controller Overlay (created by: @larfingshnew6965) It's free!
Here's the download link: www.3d-controller-overlay.org/
Q: When I press the “home” button in-game, nothing happens. (PC only)
A: make sure that the drivers of your controller are active by going to: Steam, Settings, Controller, enable Steam Input for the controller that you are using.
Also, activate “Use Big Picture Overlay when using a controller” by going to Steam, Settings, In-Game.

Corrections: Disable mouse smoothing in the controller settings for the config to work properly. I thought it was disabled by default, but it wasn't :p

I'm glad DRG handles simultaneous inputs well enough outside of menus and maybe prompts.

[@sonik3406]

Thanks for the video. Eager to try that on my Steam Deck

[@teddybruscie]

Dead Zones are for pointer style aiming exclusively. Everything else can be fixed screen.

[@ChawedMirthPrattEnterprise]

I have over 600 hours in DRG and around 100-200 of those are me using my gyro setup. It's a M&K input setup and my favourite part of it is using button combos for weapon switching (holding R1 + any of the face buttons). I've retired from Deep Rock now, but it's definitely one of my favourite games to use gyro in.

[@FlickStickVids]

Cool! If you are using steam, have you uploaded your config? I would love to try it!

[@ChawedMirthPrattEnterprise]

​​@FlickStickVids I'll add my config in the next few hours. Edit: just so you know, I have a back button attachment for my ps4 controller and I have them mapped to d-pad left and right for the shout command and grenades.

Can’t find the layout on stemdeck …

[@ZackZavage]

Thanks for sharing. Can you use this with a Dualshock 4 controller? Your layout doesn't appear for me, probably because I'm using a DS4.

[@FlickStickVids]

Yes. In the community layout screen, press square to show layouts done for different controllers.

Ive tried adding a reset camera button but whenever i use it, it always puts the camera in different inconsistent positions instead of straight ahead? Ive set my 360 per point value right and im also on switch procon, any tips to help get my reset camera button working properly?

[@FlickStickVids]

Try fiddle with the delay slider. If that doesn't work, a new update may have broken this feature. This feature was added very recently, so it's a bit unstable for now. 🥲

[@hyperstar7252]

​@@FlickStickVidsah I see, I've been managing by just using the right stick to reposition my camera where my hands are comfortable. btw I wanna take this opportunity to say I absolutely LOVE your channel and what it's striving to do. I'm a competitive Splatoon player who absolutely loves motion aim, and seeing you spread the greatness of *good* motion aim to various games (presumably from also being inspired by Splatoon's amazing controls) is a very nice sight to see :)

[@FlickStickVids]

@hyperstar7252 Thanks, I'm really glad to hear that! And yes, Splatoon is one of my favorite franchises, ever since 2015. After the first global test fire I was never the same haha ;D

[@GsHGamer]

can't find your config for this game, i aplied the one you made for titanfall 2 just fine but cant find your layout for deep rock

[@FlickStickVids]

Huuuum, try hovering over the community tab and pressing "show all layouts". Maybe this will fix the problem.

[@GsHGamer]

yup i'm ussing a pro controller, so i had to press "show all layouts" to find your dual sense layout in titanfall, but i can't find the one for DRG, will try with warframe and overwach, i'll report back if i find a solution 👍 @@FlickStickVids

[@FlickStickVids]

@GsHGamer thx! I can't check what it's going on rn, but I will soon! I apologize for the inconvenience.

[@GsHGamer]

@@FlickStickVids no worries, you have done more than posting all this documentation here. I report that i could set the layouts in warframe, overwatch, so the DRG is odd one, on the meantime i'll be testing some configs, maybe cooking some of my own with your vids

[@GsHGamer]

@@FlickStickVids well i was just about to post my config and then i took a look at the list an now your config shows up! i think steams was bugged (it crash a couple of times while i was editing the layout, and yesterday it didn't want to save my changes, but today every thing worked, could be because i have beta active) here it is my config anyway, it ended up very similar to yours actually. steam://controllerconfig/548430/3062086793 thank you for everything! 👍

[@joemanco69]

is there configuration for ds4?

[@FlickStickVids]

Yes, just click on "show all layouts" on the Community tab, you can find my config there, it will work just as well ;D

[@derrickjohnson4952]

I know you can do this on ps5 I’m just trash at setting up the options

[@FlickStickVids]

Nah, it's just bad on the PS5, like I said in the video, you can't do much to make it better, unfortunately. The most that you can do is decrease the deadzones sliders, but they also affect the analog sticks. Also, set the gyro sensitivity to max.
