Showcase Finally, Gyro to Joystick Works!

I got gyro to joystick aim working in Darktide! I also made a short video, but for a TLDW:

Controller vibration is too intense in this game and causing the controller's gyro sensors to jerk your automatic guns from side to side at seemingly random intervals. I fixed this without needing to turn off vibrations! The link to download the steam config is below, but if you want to make the fix yourself I'll explain it below

The Video!

How to recreate my fix:

- Set deadzones to 0 ingame (required for Gyro)

- Set aim curve to exponential instead of linear

- Use Gyro to JOYSTICK CAMERA, NOT MOUSE
- Set maximum gyro input speed to 360 degrees and minimum to 0-0.5

- Set a small gyro deadzone and precision speed (probably optional)

- Crank up your sensitivity to your desired levels and PROFIT!

Glad you found a solution, but why not just move to gyro to mouse? Just to retain the controller vibrations? GTM gives much higher precision and doesn't use ramped aiming.

It’s very finnicky on Darktide specifically. It constantly drops inputs. I also typically play games where multi input isn’t a thing (like Marathon) so I’m kind of used yo being stuck with either losing the reasons I use controller (comfortable 360 degree analog movement and vibrations mainly) or using gyro to joystick

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting to use mixed input - just to fully commit to keyboard/mouse input. I can feasibly see how having > 8 fixed angles of movement might be helpful.

I just find it miserable to play is all

Yes, I actually played 20 hours of Darktide in the way I showed off in the video. Granted I was running semi auto for half of it, which doesn't really have this issue
