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
