Gyro Aim support?

[Sadnehs]

I heard the Switch version had Gyro aim support. But I don't see it on PC. I have a gyro enabled controller (Switch Pro), and have played some games that natively support gyro (Spin Rhythm XD comes to mind).

If that isn't available, could it be added? I wouldn't mind chill controller play on PC, leaned back in my chair. But the input curve on the sticks in the game are awful, there is no sensitivity that I like on controller, but gyro aim would step around the issue mostly.

just use a mouse and keyboard. way better for bunnyhopping/strafe jumping, general movement, and shooting.

Try Steam Input.

Ah shush, Jeff. Nobody want's to hear it.

I don't speak to illiterate monkeys.
Tell your zoo handler to restrict your computer access again.

I even made sure to specify in my post I'd like to try chill leaned-back Quake in my chair, implying yes I do play now on mouse & keyboard and would like this other option sometimes

no need to be rude, man. also, no, there's no gyro aiming on PC.

Iirc someone had success with setting the gyro as some manner of mouse input.

But you'd probably be better off looking at the steam guide that lists all the cvars in the game as there's a ton of them that pertain to how the aim assist functions.

Failing gyro, that's probably your best bet.

There's an option in the kexengine.cfg called seta cl_usegyros, which seems to be enabled by default (set to "1").

Coupled with the fact, that there's a Switch port, i would just give it a try. If all else fails, you can just force it using Steam's built-in gyro-aim option when using it's Switch Pro Controller Configuration Support. Once you have it enabled and your controller is plugged in, you should see a "Controller Configuration"-option on the right side under the big green "PLAY"-button, when highlighting this game in your library.

Beside Steam having that feature baked into it's controller support options, that's a blanket statement simply not applicable to all games. It's common for VR games for one thing.
What kind of controls are supported is always a matter of what developers decide to support.

Late reply, but I've been using gyro for every shooter ever since 2015 on PC through steam input. Dualshock 4, Dualsense, steam controller and switch pro can all have gyro added to any game on steam

Get a Steam Controller. Fantastic for gyro-aiming in Quake!
