PS5 Dualsense gyro drift correction or calibration.

[nivekii]

I'm experiencing gyro drift to the left with my Dualsense (tested over wired and bluetooth). When I used to use the Steam controller and experienced gyro drift I was able to set gyro to "Always on" and then lay it on a flat surface and Steam would detect the drift and correct it automatically after a few seconds.

I've tried this with the Dualsense, but it doesn't seem to work. I even left it on the table for a few minutes but it just kept drifting. I also don't see a gyro calibration option under the controller preferences.

I'm not sure if this just hasn't been implemented for the Dualsense yet, or if I maybe have a hardware issue.

Anyone else experiencing this?

How did you test the gyro?

I first noticed the drift while using the gyro in my Destiny 2 config. Then I enabled gyro on my desktop config to do further testing. I tried setting gyro to always on or just on trigger pull. The drift occurred with both settings and consistently moved the cursor to the left with small up and down jitters.

I also tried closing Steam and testing the gyro in both JoyShockMapper and DS4Windows. The gyro drift occurred in both programs, however running calibration in JoyShockMapper successfully fixed it and adjusting the deadzone in DS4Windows worked as well.

So, it seems that the gyro in my controller is definitely a bit off in the output it's sending, but it's able to be corrected depending on the software.

I'm pretty sure Steam had calibration and drift correction for the Steam Controller and Dualshock 4, so I'm wondering if it just hasn't been implemented in the beta client yet.

The beta cycle is ending today but we will work on it in the next cycle. Will probably have a beta release for this later this week or early next week.

Wonderful thank you. I've also posted a thread in the bug reports forum with a video showing some of the odd behavior from the gyro.
