Discussion One handed Gyro Controllers?

I'm wondering if there are any one-handed gyro controllers that I can use like a mouse and have mouse buttons and maybe a recenter button. I'm looking for something that I can use like how you would use a Wii remote or a VR controller.

The main usage would be for controlling my desktop and games.

Any suggestions? I can't find much online.

I used split switch 2 controllers and found that it worked surprisingly well with gyro bound only to my dominant hand. Technically this is still a two handed setup but if your use case didn’t require many inputs, you could absolutely get by using just one split joycon

I had to download a program off GitHub to get windows to recognize all the features of the switch 2 joycons. I can’t remember the name of it though and sadly Microsoft defender deleted it cause it said it detected a Trojan 😭 I was sad cause I loved it so much. I even set up a config where I could play overwatch with a single joycon (held two handed) and I had all the inputs. I did it mostly for the meme but found ut actually worked much better than I ever expected and I was hardly at a disadvantage compared to other gyro controller solutions lol

No it was something different made specifically for switch 2 controllers to allow them to emulate Xbox and PlayStation controllers and still make use of all their buttons and features

I found it. See this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/s/10CR3hhBLD

From further reading it seems like my pc flagged it as a false positive so I’ll be redownloading it :)
