How to set Gyro to deactivate when stick is moved

[TOKC1998]

So I find that I have a love hate relationship with the gyro on steam deck. I find it works really well but I'm not a fan of many of the activation methods, especially in games that don't support both mouse and gamepad at the same time. I thought of a method that would be ideal for me but I don't know how to accomplish it. Basically I want to use the right stick touch activation for gyro but have it so that it only works when I'm not moving the right stick. How would I go about this?

Trying to understand what you are saying.

So you want the gyro to be on Only when you touch it, but NOT if the stick is moved?

I don't believe what you want specifically is possible, and the closest solution I can think of is binding one of the back buttons to activate gyro so long as the button is held down.

Add an action layer. Disable Gyro on the action layer. On the default joystick outer ring binding, add a command to apply the layer. On the layer joystick outer ring binding, change the command to remove the layer on release press.

Finally, decrease the outer ring command radius so that the command applies the layer before you have movement with the joystick.

This is what I'll do if nothing else works

Alternative method: Set an action layer that disables Gyro. Bind stick touch to hold that layer. It won't disable gyro when moving the stick, but one can presume that if you're touching the stick you intend to move the stick.
