Steam Controller Gyro activation button bug

[Necatus]

ISSUE
In beta feb 2 gyro activation button is always treated as right pad touch no matter what is set in configuration.

STEPS
Set gyro to any mouse output in desktop or any other steam input config
Set activation button to anything but "right pad touch"
Try to use gyro

RESULTS
Gyro activate with right pad touch

EXPECTED
Gyro activate with whatever set in config

came here to report the same thing. found your post on page one.
thank you!

Steam Version: 1706914901

the issue affects not only gyro to mouse, but also gyro to joystick (beta).

STEPS:
- set gyro to joystick (beta), choose gyro activation on anything else but right pad touch.
- activate the gyro with the button from the last step
- you will find out that the activation button doesn't work
- touch the right pad
- gyro is now activated

I came to report that my gyro activation button is always on and cannot be turned off or toggled using any button on the gamepad. I suspect this is the exact same issue as you are describing, but I don't have right pad touch as I'm not using a Dualsense controller.

ISSUE
In Feb 2 beta build, steam input gyro-to-mouse activation option no longer works. My gyro is stuck constantly on.

STEPS
Go into steam input gyro-to-mouse settings
Set activation button to any button on the gamepad
Set button behaviour to 'off'

RESULTS
Gyro is always permanently on

EXPECTED
Gyro should turn off when selected button is held

i thought i was going crazy cause last night it was working. setting gyro to on with l2 full trigger pull results in gyro always being on no matter what. tried changing the button to x and gryo is still always on
edit: forgot to mention im using a dualsense controller

I'm here to report the same Issue.
I am a little relieved to see that this thread confirms that it does not seem to be my local problem. Thank you!

I am playing with a PS4 controller DualShock.
I had the gyro operation set to "use as joystick" and the gyro enabled button set to "left trigger full pull".
As others have mentioned, the gyro is always enabled whether the left trigger is pulled or not.

Even if I assign the gyro enable button to another button, the gyro is always enabled as well, so it seems that the underlying setting is buggy, regardless of the options.

I have also confirmed that canceling participation in the Client Beta version resolves the issue, and since the issue is occurring before and after the February 2nd Steam Client Beta, it appears that this update is having an adverse effect.

can confirm, gyro activation is stuck on Right Touchpad only and will not adhere to other options. going back to the non-beta Steam client resolves this issue.

Here to confirm the same issue!

Using the Dualsense Edge, I use Gyro always on, but holding Square turns it off. I use this setup primarily for playing shooters.

This doesn't work. Square to turn off gyro doesn't work. The latest stable client doesn't have this bug so it's only in the beta.

Same issue here: on Feb 2nd, gyro was working correctly using my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with Steam. Gyro was set to As Mouse, and in Settings, Left Trigger was set to enable gyro on Soft Pull.

But today, gyro is Always On, even tho nothing changed on my end. In Settings, Left Trigger is still selected to enable gyro on Soft Pull, but gyro is “always on” regardless. I also cannot make it toggle on/off instead, gyro is either always on, or always off if I set it to None.

This is so annoying bc everything was working fine and now it’s broken out of nowhere for no reason. Is there a way to entirely reset controller preferences or something?

Came to report the same issue; gyro activation is always on regardless of settings while using my DS4 controller.

[KomKwast]

Same issue, Gyro activation on Left pad touch regardless of configuration.

Same problem - can confirm that this is a beta update issue, as opting out of steam beta immediately fixes the problem

I was having the same problem with my DualSense Edge a couple days ago. Downgraded from the beta, and it was working just fine, but I noticed something a bit odd when I used my Steam Deck, which is currently on the beta.

It seems it's defaulting to Right Stick or Pad Touch for the activation method and ignoring whatever method is set by the user. I'm not sure how much help this will be, but it's probably worth looking into.
