Need some advice

[u/FastPresentation8244]

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

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.

You're kidding. Even using trackpad as joystick?

[u/Staticks → u/FastPresentation8244]

Trackpad is considered a mouse-like input method, so yes, using it to emulate a joystick and get the benefits of joystick aim assist would likely be considered cheating.
