This was a fantastic way to dip my toes into this new control method! I've got a lot of tweaking and learning to do but I'm already getting comfortable thanks to your introduction and explanation!

[@Starpotion]

Thank you so much for this, excited to learn this but there's definitely a learning curve after being used to traditional analog aiming for so long, this is gonna help a lot

[@Rodentbird]

awesome video. i had kinda written off fps games on the steam deck because i thought that flick stick was kinda difficult to get used to, but this video cleared up a lot of stuff for me. specifically the part where you cover calibration - that was super helpful. thanks.

[@aboveaveragebayleaf9216]

You can also use track pad at a high sensitivity and gyro for precision. I usually have track ball with high friction, and and the pad at 30° to more closely match the natural angle my thumb likes to swipe at.

[@soldadguy6315]

Thanks for this video. The calibration tutorial helped me a lot. Looking forward to playing some games with this control style.

[@Brandon-dq3vx]

Hey, loved your video. Great approach. The hardest part of customizing controls for me is finding a starting point, so starting with 90 degree turns and then fine tuning from there made it feel doable.

[@Anglerbe]

Having just tried it tonight, I recommend also turning Sweep Sensitivity Scale all the way to 0 while calibrating if, like me, you find that your 90 degree turns are inconsistent. I was calibrating for the game Prey, and unfortunately I wasn't able to find a way to get sweeps to work without completely throwing off the 360 rotation.

[@gXxshock]

OMG, thank you for this hint. I thought I was going insane. Valve even mentions it in the Pixels per Revolution Hints, but then they renamed the Sweep Sensitivity Scale to Flickstick Sensitivity and I missed it.

[@ssnake213]

[@dayveeman]

Good video! I also like flick-stick but was never sure if I was using right. It's nice to see you use it more or less the same way I do. I really like your system for dialing in your settings. I also like your tip for copying values across games, but I like to share my configs so that means keeping my in game mouse sensitivity at the default for easy sharing.

Love this video. I watched JibbSmart setup videos and other, but I like your approach about how you are supposed to feel because as an not experienced FPS player (especially on controller) I was always doubting if I finally got it "right"..often I spent more time setting up than playing because I was exhausted

Great video. I played Titanfall 2 single player for the first time on the Deck using flick stick, and I was surprised how quickly I got used to it (and how good I was). I don't think I'll ever be as good as I am with a mouse (20+ years of experience with kb+m will do that), but it's miles better than using standard controller joysticks layout.

[@JibbSmartGD]

God of War plays pretty well with flick stick, just FYI :) But to each their own! And great demonstration of how you can move back and forth between flick stick and traditional stick control. Great video. I've shared it with some people asking how to set it up on Steam Deck. I'm glad you're enjoying flick stick!

[@mrexpendable1232]

As the creator, is there another use case or layout I should try out? Yes my settings are what work for me, but they were born out of a lack of direction on how to take the settings and apply them myself. Anything you've played with that would illuminate an area of flick stick I've not thought of yet?

[@JibbSmartGD]

​@@mrexpendable1232 Interesting question! Using the God of War example, a lot of 3D games mostly only operate in a 2D plane. If they had a built-in automatic vertical camera reset, they could be comfortably played with flick stick and no gyro (except when aiming). I don't want to shoehorn flick stick into games that aren't suited to it, but it can be argued that traditional stick controls have been shoehorned into games that aren't suited to them either (Mario Odyssey, God of War, etc where vertical camera control is rarely necessary). But since they don't have automatic pitch resetting and people like you and me rely on input remappers, one thing we can do in games like that is have flick stick on always, gyro off by default, gyro enabled with the aim button (like left trigger in God of War), and also enable gyro whenever flick stick is "engaged". This way, players can tilt the stick forward at any time to correct their camera pitch with gyro but otherwise have gyro off for most gameplay. Maybe this is less interesting on Deck, though, where you can always set stick touch to activate gyro whenever you want without having to press anything else :P Most of my time is spent with standard console controllers, because I believe we don't use them to their potential. Other folks do much more creative things with the Deck and Steam Controller, as well as custom controllers, which is great to explore but just won't be available to console players for the foreseeable future. Oh, and some people set it up so they have traditional stick controls when the stick is near the center and then enable flick stick on the edge. I'm not savvy enough with Steam's settings to do that on Deck, but it's an interesting one!

[@mrexpendable1232]

@@JibbSmartGD a lot of call of duty games have a keybind to return pitch to neutral, which is great. Because not every game does this, I don't use this feature as it'd be a crutch. Besides pushing to get gyro in all standard controllers, next up has got to be capacitive sensors. I know people that use a button like square to pause gyro and that seems like such an unnecessary problem to have due to lack of capacitive sensors. For me, it would be another barrier to entry and eliminating those will be key in seeing more support from devs. I'd love a PS6 where gyro + capacitive is the default with flick stick. If I could ask one more question, what are your thoughts on fps games that change sensitivity based on context? Tarkov almost never has a consistent sensitivity because every piece of weight slows your sens down. Battlefront 2 classic nerfs your sens while sprinting. How would flick stick work in these scenarios?

[@JibbSmartGD]

@@mrexpendable1232 I will always prefer a gyro off button in "always aiming" games, but thankfully there are many games that have dedicated aim buttons -- like almost every PlayStation blockbuster -- that should make gyro easy to get into for pretty much everyone (if only they actually supported gyro). Yeah, capacitive sticks are brilliant -- and could largely do away with the need for any other dedicated gyro inputs. I hope to see standard console controllers with them next gen. Regarding changing sensitivity on context -- I usually dislike it, but I haven't played the examples you gave. A mouse player on a sufficiently big mousepad can turn as quick as they want anyway, so reducing sensitivity seems silly to me. Some games will do a turning speed cap, which works on every platform but feels so bad with mouse and gyro (and flick stick). I think the best example to follow for something like this is the example of pretty much every tank game ever -- let the player turn their camera as fast as they like, but have aim / movement direction / etc turn to face that direction as fast as it can within the limits set by the gameplay context. This way mouse/gyro aim doesn't feel bad, flick stick should still work, but the constraints of the game are respected. What do you think?

[@mrexpendable1232]

@@JibbSmartGD my solution for slower sens on sprint is to set sprint to a hold button and whenever that button is held, steam input changes layers to a new flick stick that's tuned for that specific speed. This method works for battlefront 2, I've tried it. For Tarkov, idk. I respect their creative freedom to have heavy players turn slower, but like you said they can already turn as fast as they want or use dpi shifting. The player already moves slowly when heavy as well. I can see why they don't want a fully loaded guy to be able to do instant 180s tho. The tank idea is really interesting though. Anyway, thanks for the kind words and thanks for making such a cool and powerful control scheme. IDK if it was your work on this new steam update or if the valve guys went off on their own, but I can tell a visible difference in how much more fluid the new system looks and plays, not to mention the vast expansion of available options. Can't wait for the changes to hit stable!

[@supervegeto7448]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO

[@Eunostos]

DualShock 4 left/right touchpad touch for gyro off has worked great for me. Those are underutilized, and the capacitive touch is super responsive for a quick cursor ratchet no matter what i'm doing (usually left thumb, sometimes right). Still gives pad clicks to play with, too.

[@SCORP1ONF1RE]

this was an excellent vid! i wonder if flick stick would also be great with trackpad? for playing in bed, some people use the steam deck case to rest the deck on. i actually made a chest-stand for it with a wide base, so it can stand on its own. picture the switch dock glued to a stiff mouse pad. i made the whole thing out of higher-density (stiff) cardboard. its awesome! on another note, trackpad + gyro is great for steering in racing games, and also great for special moves in fighting games like street fighter as well...

[@victor-ling]

This is an awesome video and was exactly what I was looking for to start out with Flick Stick. Though just to be pedantic, and it doesn't change anything in your video or instructions but you have yaw and roll swapped in your explanation. Think of your device doing a barrel roll and well ... that's roll. Yaw is what you start with on the left/right movement. Again doesn't affect anything in the video since your advice is to combine yaw and roll which means it doesn't matter which one is which but figured I'd just let you know. What's the point of putting a video out on the internet if not for random strangers to point out every minor thing, though seriously great video!

[@mrexpendable1232]

I actually have it correct as far as how steam views it. When I set my horizontal to roll only, it does the twisting motion, not the steering wheel motion. But no worries, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@hamiltonics]

That "yo" is so cute. Nice video!

[@JeffEdmondson]

[@Matt-bp5vy]

Great stuff

[@blackyraypatrick9041]

Arent there mouse sensitivity charts for windows and game settings? Would be cool if steam had some statistics like that taking one game as the example for how to set the other games in comparison to have the exact same settings...

[@MrRolnicek]

I want to say that in my experience, Flick Stick is better with Gyro always on and only disabled when a button is held (I use R5 for that). With normal stick+Gyro the capacitive enable is for sure the best way to do it but when I use Flick Stick, I like to start using the face buttons and only touch the stick rarely for the flicks and turns. Often times I just use my disable gyro button to ratchett instead of a flick just so I can keep my thumb on the buttons.

[@mrexpendable1232]

i just map face buttons to back buttons, but to each his own

[@MrRolnicek]

@@mrexpendable1232 Yea but Flick stick lets you just have extra buttons. Because you can use both the face buttons and the back buttons.

[@yummy9712]

This is pretty much how I've set it up as well. R4 to disable gyro when held. I would rather keep my thumb on the right touch pad (set as mouse) for the majority of the time, occasionally hitting the analog stick to flick view (which only takes a split second. I rarely use the sweep function except to slowly check surroundings.) Clicking touch pad reloads. I've also added a recenter camera feature which activates on double tapping (not double clicking) the right touch pad. Steam Deck probably has the greatest amount of control options over any other current handheld PC. Was considering the Legion Go, but will need to see more reviews first.

[@neilhess2518]

Awesome! Have you found the flick stick technique to translate well across all games?

[@idkrossplay]

nice tutorial

[@benchristensen1526]

Can you use up on the flick stick as “return to center”? Can’t tell what it does in your setup

[@Hyde119]

You specifically mentioned SoT and I was curious if you ever tried flick stick in it. I'm trying to configure flick stick in SoT and it seems inconsistent. I slowed down the flick speed and noticed that the game kind of auto snaps prior (sometimes after) to the 90 degree snap. I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out and was hoping you might be able to help.

[@caleasthetic]

Let me start by saying this is a great tutorial for those who do not know anything about flick stick or gyro yet. Great explanation. But I think you switch what yaw and roll are on the deck. What you mentioned as yaw is actually roll and vice versa. Roll is a steering wheel. I get that on a controller you hold it flat, and then tilting the controller left or right is roll and moving left and right while keeping the controller flat is yaw. But you dont hold the deck flat. the sreen is more yowards you r fae and you are looking ahead at it, not from above.

[@Sir_GrimReaper]

Is there are a way to add it to classic doom? I wanna add to Sonic robo blast 2 to see if it makes easier turn in game.

[@m00r3e]

I dont have the Snapping, Smoothing Deadzones, Outer ring settings when I go into the right joystick settings. Is there something I need to enable?

You need to be using the beta branch to see these options or wait for the changes to make their way to the stable branch. You can change branches in your system settings.

[@labakabeast9848]

[@onepieceofbbq6357]

I set up flick stick and I'm trying use the "snap mode" setting for my dualshock ps4 controller on steam input yet everytime I change it it sets it back to "no snap" when I want it to go to "half snap". Do you know how I can fix this? It's perfectly fine if you don't.

[@CZiNTrPT]

Maybe you can ask @jibsmart he is the "inventor" of Flickstick and also uses a ps controller afaik

[@Matt-bp5vy]

How do you make custom command for top trackpad to press a button and turn off the flick stick? I can't see it anywhere

[@mrexpendable1232]

you have to create a separate control layer different from your default controls that everything is the same except the right stick behavior. Then set the trackpad button to toggle between the 2 layers. So flick stick, normal, back to flick stick

[@frankm6546]

Hey bro, amazing video thank you I just got my steam deck and am wanting to figure out how to set up flick stick on my own before trying community customs but I had a question. So I tried setting my sensitivity (pixels per revolution) to the same number as you and it didn’t work. Mine is like 7210, and I have completely default settings for halo otherwise. Why would your sensitivity be different than mine?

[@mrexpendable1232]

they would differ if my in game settings were different ;)

@@mrexpendable1232 ahh got it. You must have changed halo infinite settings because mine are default. This is an amazing video, thanks for making it!

[@mattecrystal6403]

I'm trying to set this up for predecessor but with 90 snap on I consistently get inconsistent results. Clicking right 4 times sometimes overshoots and sometimes undershoots. If I hit right 4 times and then hit left 4 times I should end up in the same location. But this isn't happening. Why and how can I fix this?

[@mrexpendable1232]

are both deadzones set to identical? i think it can change based on how far you tilt the stick to turn so having both deadzones the same while testing helps. Otherwise, some games just have inconsistent sensitivity due to framerate or vsync or whatever. I don't really know of anything past that, sorry

[@out_of_band]

I’m having the same issue and it’s because the sweeping doesn’t seem to be turning off even with damping set to 0. I’m not sure if something changed or it’s a function of another issue, but I’m always getting a little sweep making it impossible to get an accurate calibration. I’ll keep messing with it when I have time.

[@jeremoople]

I briefly tested this in Half Life 2 and I took to it pretty quickly, but I am struggling with looking downwards. It seems to take more of a tilt to aim downwards than anywhere else and due to the weight of the Steam Deck, it quickly made my wrist sore. Any suggestions on what settings to tweak to overcome this hurdle?

[@mrexpendable1232]

Make vertical gyro way more sensitive and work on steadying your hands to compensate for the extra sensitivity

[@zoozoocow123]

ive heard that using an bluetooth controller helps a lot

[@ceecide]

im not sure why but no matter how much i change the Sensitivity (pixels per revolution), it only moves a small amount, i even moved it to the max and it doesnt change at all. anyone know how to fix this? I tried resetting my Halo controller settings and mouse sensitivity but it doesnt seem to chance anything

[@mrexpendable1232]

the only thing that i can think of since you've already tried many things is that potentially you've disabled snapping by setting snapping to forward and maxing it out? setting it to forward only and maxing out disables the snap and only leaves the sweep motion which would explain the tiny amount of movement, its from sweeping. that's my best guess, hope you get it resolved bro

[@mrexpendable1232]

you gotta set yourself up for success in terms of how you're sitting and playing. This video wasn't even the best case scenario. This was me resting my forearms on my desk but i typically play in bed with my elbows resting on either side which is very stable for me. The rest is just learning to steady yourself and press buttons without causing crazy shifts to your camera.

[@bass9380]

I personally use sensitivity converters to get as consistent sensitivity as possible. They're made for mouse but why wouldn't they works for gyro? It's a mouse input after all.

[@89martint]

whats the point of this, VS using normal analog stick movement, with high look sense. + gyro? that's how I been using gyro for a couple of years now. is flick stick just faster turns? or am I missing something?

[@mrexpendable1232]

its much faster and more reliable since you can flick in a direction and know exactly where you're going to turn . Even with a mouse and keyboard I can't do instant perfect 180 turns like i can with flick stick

[@FeltyLP]

Hey, have you tried out to use the right trackpad as a mouse for more rough aiming and gyro for the precise aiming?

[@mrexpendable1232]

Yes but I hate the location of the right track pad for extended use. Same as Nintendo switch or any other handheld with the stick in that location. Steam deck rocks for it's thumbstick locations

[@FeltyLP]

[@MilfMilker]

Readjusting the camera down or up isn't very ideal, like to "reset" the camera, is there a way to make the joystick look up and down? Because doing it with gyro puts my deck at an awkward angle.

[@mrexpendable1232]

No, the stick will be solely for horizontal motion, that's the nature of the setup. You just need to increase vertical gyro until it no longer forces you into weird angles

[@douglastaylor43]

Thanks

[@prw56]

I followed your steps to the letter, but every time I try calibrating the 90 degree turns its different (without changing the sensitivity), gyro is off, deadzones are identitical, release dampening zero. Every time I try I zero in on the starting spot, then tap to the right 4 times, the final spot I'm looking at is different every time, without even making any changes to the sensitivity. It changes somehow based on how hard you tap the stick and its preventing me from calibrating. Edit: It was easier with the deadzones turned up to 100, but its still inconsistent each time and I dont understand why Edit2: Turning up flick turn tightness made it noticeably more consistent, still not perfect, but way better

[@mrexpendable1232]

Some games are just kinda fucky for some reason. Like Cod games can sometimes tie camera speed to framerate and cause the speed to be inconsistent. This was hella true for black ops 1 to the point i just gave up playing on deck. Cod WW2 also had this issue sometimes, but much much better.

[@prw56]

@@mrexpendable1232 I was also using Halo infinite, even though I wasn't able to get the perfect setup I settled for the good enough ballpark you mentioned. My guess is that something is different, either in steamInput or halo infinite, that makes it different from when you did this video. My big issues now are with trying to get used to this control scheme, especially in close range encounters. I haven't tried it long enough to give up, but I feel like I'd be in more control with a regular joystick+gyro and a dedicated button for flipping 90 degrees on a dime. Edit: Maybe I'll try that, I can use the right trackpad as a flick stick with 90 degree snap, but I wish there was a way to make it only on press instead of touch.

[@zesorath]

@@prw56 if you haven't figured this out, you can create a mode shift and have the right track pad as a mouse but the mode shift as a flick stick. Nerdnest has created an excellent video on this topic if you're interested.

[@aarepelaa1142]

With a steam deck the aiming is kinda scuffed because you move the entire screen while aiming via gyro. Also whats going on with your camera? Did you forget it in a microwave? Cool so I tried some risk of rain 2 with dualshock 4's idk why I didn't just play it on deck lol. But the biggest issue as usual with controller gaming is jumping while aiming, its alleviated with gyro quite nicely but anytime you try to circle an enemy its very hard to do properly, i guess take it with a grain of salt with me having a whopping 30 minutes of gyro experience lmao. But i wish I had some additional buttons like on the deck to keep jumping while shooting and aiming properly. Also aiming up and down is a bit of a struggle, and then I recenter the camera by pulling it up past the point where i can look up and then bring it down lol im too lazy to set up the recenter properly as it fails half the time for me just putting the camera into the dirt. (now i remembered because ror2 isnt a very button heavy game I could have used the right top bumber to jump and switched X to equipment use to have the jump key easily accessible, though i would have probably swapped left top and right top bumpers to be able to shoot easier while jumping because I'm a bozo and dont use my middle finger with the index finger to have all 4 back buttons easy to press at any time. I mean you don't either but a lot more understandable on a deck because its pretty hefty and those backbuttons are a better way to spend the middle fingers anyways. Also a good way to calibrate gyro for yourself is to lay the controller on a flat surface and if the game spins around like 3 times or something on 1 spin it should be a pretty solid sensitivity to start fiddling off of.

Has anyone else here tried this on a Windows PC? Because I've tried setting it up for Infinite multiple times and it's never really worked. There's even a few setups explicitly for Switch Pro controllers and they don't work. Gyro as joystick works fine, but gyro as mouse doesn't work at all despite functioning well in other games. And it's not like mixed input isn't supported, I can use my left joystick for movement and my mouse for aim. Disconnecting my mouse entirely doesn't change anything. Steam itself is handling the scheme just fine as the mouse starts moving as soon as I exit the game.

[@MillhioreX]

Same problem, mostly games doesn't work both input like using a controller + moving a mouse. They block/conflict that when i use stick or moving a mouse. (example I press a left stick > mouse/gyro stopped work, or using a mouse/gyro first > left stick stopped work). I gave up and i play more with mouse + Keyboard for mostly Shooter and some games playing classic with my Xbox Controller.

I'm sorry about that. The glitching is in the camera, not in the edit and I tried to work around it. My phone freezes and restarts when recording video and I had to use my webcam. It's not good footage, audio, or gameplay due to my setup, but I hope the information at the least can be helpful

I just don’t see how one could be pinpoint accurate with this method

[@sonusmeister2325]

The idea is to be used for fast paced fps game like quake or apex

1:1 movement means that 1° in real life is 1° in game. that's how a mouse works, and gyro + flickstick works the same way. Just like a mouse, you can multiply these values, so 1° in real life can be 3° in game. That's how and why you can have kb and mouse precision with this method

I get that it's a flick stick video - but the constant flickering of the video makes it very difficult to watch.
