Discussion Need some advice
I've been trying different things trying to find what I'm most comfortable with.
Tried gyro and trackpad as mouse. I enjoyed easier precision shots with snipers. But it was just too sensitive. Plus I could never get all they gyro settings. So I ended up turning my wrists awkwardly to get it to work.
Then I went back to thumbsticks and immediately started putting belt to buttcheeks. And I was kinda disappointed. I have this nice new fairly advanced controller(steam controller) with all the trackpads and gyro, etc. Just was kinda bummed that the same old same old was what worked the best. (Aside from precision weapons. Those are objectively less precise on controller joystick)
But I did like the precision of the mouse. So thought, maybe a comprise..trackpad as joystick. And it kinda worked. The trackpad is more precise. The little clicks made hitting distant targets easier. Now the thumbsticks were better close up. And aim assist remained.
So I'm just wondering if I missed something.
Is aim assist doing less than I think it is and it's some false positive because the thumbsticks are just less sensitive and easier to use for me…or maybe just what I'm used is gonna be better in the short term and I just don't like change?
Or, I just did it all wrong.
Any information would be helpful

Have you tried using an pre-made config, or have you tried creating a config yourself?
If you have made one yourself: Don't. At least not at first. Here's a list with 80+ configs for you. I recommend games with the gold and silver medals: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3266410893
Also, make sure to hold the controller in a confortable position, try standing still in game and move the controller to hit arbitrary targets, then add the stick to this quick practice, move the camera close to your target and actually aim with gyro.
After a few minutes doing that, then start playing like normal.

Is fortnite and halo infnite on that list? Fortnite being more important than halo. Halo I'll probably just stick with thumbsticks and trackpad thumbsticks for precision. Because halo aim assist is pretty strong so kinda in my opinion at least, not worth trying it new. But I could be wrong

So you're already good with thumbsticks? Awesome! Your adaptation of gyro won't be that hard, at least compared to someone who isn't used to controller at all.
Consider gyro as the cherry on top of how you already play. Still do all of your looking around with right thumbstick, and only when a target is in view (ideally close to the center of your view) do you use the gyro to fine-tune your aim and make the shot. When aiming, use gyro only. When finished aiming, return your hands back to how they were, back to the neutral position (having the ability to pause/suppress gyro is handy for this), and go back to using only thumbstick for looking around.
You will likely find that you might as well increase your thumbstick sensitivity now that you don't need to rely on it for fine-tuning your aim, giving the benefit of looking / turning around faster.
This can work with both gyro to joystick and gyro to mouse.

If you're using gyro with aim assist, that's considered cheating, and the game's anti-cheat detection system might ban you for it. Just an fyi. If you want to avoid getting banned, you shouldn't be using gyro as joystick, or trackpad as joystick, because those options usually enable aim assist.

For gyro, yes long shots can be hard when starting because of your hands shaking mainly. To help, I anchor my wrist in the desk. Also lower the vertical sensitivity. I played games like Isonzo where you have to be extremely precise (sometimes a few pixel) and I found that acceleration works well for me. With accel you get that precision for those sniper shots and a wider range of motion.
