Hand reveal - Gyro Aiming real time hand cam (cam is mirrored)

I had an epiphany that my green pillows on my bed could have been used for a hand cam this whole time. (Facepalm)
Also, wanted to show what gyro aim looks like in real time. It's very bizarre seeing my own hands make those movements. Especially when some movement's feel bigger to do than they actually look on camera.
I swear I almost punched my face doing that flick at the end and it looks so tame in comparison!

This is a great idea! Videos like this will do a great job at showing how little you actually need to move the controller around when playing and help disprove the misconception some people have about how much you need to move with gyro aim.

[@tekgeekster]

Ikr? Didn't cross my mind that my green bed pillows would have made for a decent green screen for a hand cam.

I'm glad to see another gyro aficionado out there! I've been pushing for gyro controls to be an option for a while due to my love for the Steam Controller. Thankfully, the Switch has offered it in almost all their shooter games and my hands look just like yours when playing. The anti-gyro crowd who are afraid of change falsely equivocate gyro aim to "Waving your hands around like a moron", like it's the Wii or Kinect. I wish more people would try it so it could become standard but they try it for 5 seconds and quit thinking they should masters right away. Like it didn't take them years to master the mouse/controller.

[@tekgeekster]

What was your other comment about? 😏

[@Galgum]

@@tekgeekster How strange, it's gone! I don't generally comment so maybe there was some sort of time limit. I was saying to that other dude that there is another way to try out gyro on the xbox and playstation through the Windows App Xbox Console Companion(and I think their new Xbox App), plus the Playstation remote play app. You just have to add them to Steam using a program called GloSC(be remade into GlosSI). When you run those remote apps through Steam it will allow you to use the Steam Controller, Dualshock 4, Duelsense, and Switch Pro controller to play on your console, it just requires some tinkering. In your steam profile you use a straight controller profile but then for gyro you use mouse-like joystick. That's where the tinkering comes in but with profiles like what Mr. Rambletan and Critical Composer make, you can get gyro to work and feel like the gyro set to be a mouse. I wish we didn't have to jump through so many hoops just to have that option and hopefully one day it'll become a standard option.

[@tekgeekster]

Oh yeah. Jibbsmart does that. I'd try it myself, but I don't have a modern console anymore. Just pc.

[@Galgum]

@@tekgeekster I hear ya, I'm primarily PC too. It's only by chance that I have the Xbox One. Before the Master Chief Collection came to PC my brother gave me a copy for the Xbox One but I really wanted to use the Steam Controller, and the rest is history.

[@tekgeekster]

I swear the only reason I do things is just for halo. It's ridiculous. lol. I bought an Xbox one for the mcc, and bought a pc for mcc. And I'm doing this mostly on mcc.

[@Hubbleshubbles]

I tried for more than 20 hours in multiple games. I give up. I wanted to love gyro but I just can't Every time I'm playing with it, I can't help but go straight back to my mouse and keyboard. By far the biggest issue I have is "resetting" it. I tried playing with always on or activation on trigger but none of it feels good to use. It makes me feel like an idiot that has to relearn how to hold and use a controller, it's so insanely hard to me that I genuinely can't remember a time I've struggled more with an input device.

[@tekgeekster]

Yeah, it's hard. Did you try using the stick to recenter yourself though? You technically can forego a reset button if you use the stick to readjust. I won't push you on it though. If you've made up your mind, then there's no reason you can't use mouse. It's not like you're worse off. Use what's comfortable to you. I just want people to see the potential in this and realize it's the best gap bridger for controller vs mouse.

[@justdewitt3758]

I've been playing🍴for a while now in Gyro+FS and umm.... I need a lot of practice, but I do see its potential! FlickStick is still a foreign concept to me.

[@tekgeekster]

Try playing more twin stick shooters. Similar concept

[@justdewitt3758]

@@tekgeeksterI see.. I forgot to reply to tell you that I'm killing it with Gyro! I'm not the best fortnite player in the world, but it's so satisfying! I wonder if other players noticed anything strange on my controls while I'm spinning REALLY FAST while T-posing! also, I noticed the controller cam is flipped, and It confused me at first as to why invert the aim?

[@tekgeekster]

No, I didn't know the cam was flipped. It's not convenient for me to set up the camera like this all the time. Sorry for the other comment in the new video. Was feeling silly and I have a very sarcastic sense of humor.

[@ike-2357]

that is impressive, i too use these controllers, also how did you get mouse and controller at the same time? :D please tell me your secrets! id love this on my ps5 controller and also my switch pro controller and steam controller.

[@tekgeekster]

Okay, come in real close... I didn't. Technically It's all emulating keyboard and mouse through steam input because mcc doesn't allow mouse and controller at the same time. The gyro is bound to mouse, I pause the gyro with the touch pad, which doubles as score and pause buttons and the menu button toggles between kb&m gyro modes and controller modes to make navigating menus easier.

[@ike-2357]

@@tekgeekster ah that clears things up... Also thank you for the reply 🙂 (Pst.... Can I get that config on steam?)

[@tekgeekster]

Sure. It's called hell jumper in community configs. Press square or, Y (switch controller) when im the steam input menu. It's based on halo 5/infinite's hell jumper control scheme.

[@ChawedMirthPrattEnterprise]

How good is the dualsense? I've heard different things about it but I wanna know if you've had any issues, like stick drift

[@tekgeekster]

No stick drift so far. Been using it since it's release. (and I believe it launched before the ps5 did). The thing about gyro and flick stick is that it can reduce stick wear since you're using them to aim less often.

[@Costinmusca]

Stick drift, unless we're talking very cheap knock-offs is not a variable factor between controllers. It WILL HAPPEN at some point in time, but regularly it's an issue of the user being a monkey and going apeshit on their sticks.. Either that, or you have to be quite unlucky to get an actual factory defect (which can and will randomly happen to anything really.. ) As far as the motion sensing / gyro accuracy for aiming, the DualSense and the DualShock 4 even (never tested DualShock 3 or any Nintendo Controllers) are mouse like accurate and fast. AS LONG AS THE GAME PROPERLY SUPPORTS AND IMPLEMENTS MOTION AIMING. HUMONGOUS CAVEAT HERE: If the game adds ANY motion input filtering, than you will be mislead to think that motion aiming is UTTER GARBAGE. Ex. RE4 REmake's default in-game implementation, which is one of the most retarded, most asinine, backwards implementation of gyro aiming that you could ever imagine.. (the Gyro EMULATES the Right Analog Stick of a Controller, while the Right Analog will emulate.. ONLY the "X-axis" of A MOUSE!..🤦🤦‍♂🤦‍♀Not to mention, it adds A FUCKING DEAD-ZONE TO THE EMULATED STICK AS WELL!..🤯🤯🤯) Using the gyro to emulate a mouse in the few select games that do support both controller and KBM inputs concurrently is the proper way to set up your motion control enabled gamepads/s and it's the way I've done it in RE4 REmake in this example. Using the game's native implementation made me throw up in my mouth only by hearing about the concept of motion/gyro aiming and if it weren't for some random testing that I've ended up doing and as such, discovering the gyro to mouse setup and how ACTUALLY GAME CHANGING and ACCURATE it was, I would've ended up skipping on this feature for who knows how many more years until I would've accidentally "re discovered" it again.. Just as I have skipped it for so many years until only recently to begin with.. It's companies and games with motion implementations like this that make people get a fucking garbage first impression about even the concept in itself and never want to touch it ever again, thus killing any fucking chance of mass adoption, killing it dead before anybody even realizes it is fucking there to begin with, waiting to be acknowledged and used for so fucking many long years now.. This should be a fucking standard in ALL controllers WITH NO EXCEPTION.. In 2023 it's purely inexcusable to NOT have this feature as standard in BOTH HARDWARE AND GAMES/SOFTWARE ALIKE. Yes, motion aiming is JUST THAT GOOD! And so are all the controllers that I know of that support it, ex. DualSense and DualShock 4. Possibly others too. And to top it all off, gyro aiming is SIMPLY INTUITIVE!.. It takes HOURS to get a grip of!. And after only a couple of hours, you can not even go back from it.. it feels just so natural and.. there.. where it should always have been.. Trying to play without it after only hours, feels like you are playing with one hand tied up behind your back.. Compare this with even.. let's say.. the flick-stick, which most.. "gamers" use to complement the gyro aim. That takes DAYS, probably WEEKS to get a proper hold of, (just like modern/young "gamers" can not get a hold of the old "Tank Controls" of the PS1 era.. ) That is a concept that is not even remotely as intuitive and easy to grasp as gyro/motion aiming.. I personally, at least in the SP games that I usually play not even touch or have the need to use the Flick-Stick to complement my gyro.. I simply use a high sensitivity emulated mouse on my right analog stick for fast swipes, turns and long movements/turns (navigating a curve for ex.) and use my gyro for the 1:1 ("mouse-like") movement translation for my aim. This way, this one gamepad/controller is finally on the level of a mouse and keyboard setup, only more comfortable. There are still downsides, but for "general-purpose gaming".. this is.. Heaven!. Wow!.. Wall of text really says something..
