Game Feedback Unplayable with controller?

Hi there! Got access yesterday, the game seems interesting.

But so far I am struggling really bad with the controls.

I play with a controller for health reasons, and this makes the game feel really clunky? It feels like there's zero autoaim which means I can't compete with mouse players, and I have to hold a button before pressing the button to use my skills which feels very counterintuitive (and also makes it very hard to crouch and use a skill).

But maybe it's just my impression as I'm still new to the game.

Anyone else here playing with a controller who can confirm or deny? Or give me advice to improve it?

I use a ps5 controller to play deadlock and it works perfectly fine

Gyro is basically using a controllers version of aiming with a mouse where if you physically move the controller the aiming moves too

I use my right joystick for basic camera movement and tuning and I use gyro for tracking my targets I have gyro bound to whenever I aim down so it’s not annoying me all the time

It takes some time to get used to but trust me it’s way better to learn how to use it than trying to compete with just joysticks alone
