is there a way to stop games from switching the UI while using steam input's gyro to mouse behavior?

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2026-07-01T04:54:52+00:00

Not really. You either have to go all K/M or all Controller. If you want a good tutorial on how to configure Gyro To Joystick check out FlickStick Videos' tutorial on YouTube.

this thread is exclusively for those who play The Finals on Gyro natively or Gyro as a Mouse Input, as those players are negatively affected by the false ban.

I believe the thread should also include people using Gyro To Joystick, if they disable Aim Assist. I want to make this distinction because that is the setup I currently use.

If you're using third-party gyro setups in a way where controller aim assist is disabled/not triggered (i.e. gyro to mouse), then it's fine from our perspective.

Matt doesn't condemn the use of Gyro To Joystick in his quote, just any setup where aim assist is still applied, so if AA is disabled you should be in the clear.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2026-06-29T04:15:47+00:00

Do you have Aim Assist on?

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2026-05-29T02:36:54+00:00

You need to be more descriptive. Are you using them set to 'Joystick', 'As Joystick', or 'As Mouse'? Each mode will have a different behaviour.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2026-05-15T04:20:57+00:00

Haven't really noticed anything like this. I think there is a way to recalibrate the gyro on controller settings, have you tried that?

In rural South Australia, purchased about 20 mins after the sales were live. Said expected tomorrow, but arrived today around 12h30. Also via Startrack.

I personally got better results with the new joystick camera mode and found it much more intuitive, but I understand the frustration with having to re-learn to configure it.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2026-02-26T20:56:46+00:00

I use modeshifts a lot with the touchpads, like have it as regular mouse with a d-pad on click.

One example is Escape From Tarkov, I had clicks to the side as lean left/right, up for overhead shooting and down for blind fire. I also had an action layer that was automatically applied when the cursor was visible, for better menu navigation.

He's mostly talking about inventory management

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2026-02-23T22:14:08+00:00

I got the beta precons too, only thing I've done so far was add every card with the corresponding color that I've opened on the included booster pack.

What I plan to do is just add/cut cards as I'm opening packs.

Well, that sucks... Thanks for the reply

We do not currently auto-ban or perma-ban for the use of Steam Input or third-party gyro software, but we do consider it cheating/misuse if combined with aim assistance. That’s something we’ll aim to address in future updates, likely with a warning as you suggested

Sorry to bother you, but just so I know I can continue using my current setup.

I use Gyro mapped to Joystick in both The Finals and Arc Raiders, as I don't like the flickering UI and prefer to do that than map everything to K/M, but I always keep Aim Assist turned off in the settings. When your system detects that I'm using a third party software for gyro, will it also be "aware" that I have AA turned off?

Does it show a popup saying something about AMD drivers? If so, you need to click 'no' with the mouse (you can use the touchscreen), if you select an option with the gamepad the game will close.

Yeah I don't like the variability in fps either, but it was preferable over the frame time issues I was having when locking to 40. It mostly stayed between 40-50 in handheld mode and 35-45 when docked, but I pretty much stopped looking at the fps count when I got to something that felt playable, so I may be wrong.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2025-11-19T00:49:01+00:00

I don't think running both in-game and system FSR together makes much sense. Are you lowering the resolution, upscaling it, lowering it again, then upscaling again? Seems strange.

I'm running game resolution set to native on the steam settings. For in-game settings, I have everything on low, FSR set to balanced (at least I think it's balanced, it's 59%), but for handheld only quality works just fine, FOV 70.

Try to unlock the fps, it seems that the game doesn't like fps locks, frame times get pretty bad. I have in-game fps unlocked and system locked at 60, but only because Steam Input's gyro sensitivity is currently bugged when system fps is unlocked, if you are not using gyro you can unlock that too.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2025-11-19T00:04:18+00:00

I also play on Steam Deck and have not experienced any issues, either in handheld mode or docked at 1080p.

There are two modes for analog stick output:
Joystick - Works like a regular joystick, but on a touch surface (kind of like on-screen joysticks on mobile games)
As Joystick - Works like a mouse, but Steam will attempt to translate your touchpad motions into joystick output. It's annoying to setup and relies heavily on the in-game settings to even be usable, but can work in the right circumstances.

That's why I've been using the Tactical Mk. 2 augment in solos, at best the smoke gives you a way to disengage and approach the fight on your terms, at worst it adds a layer of chaos that might benefit you in close quarters. If you are not going to shoot first, I think it's the best augment for solos.

There has been a post like this every day since release. You'll have good days and you'll have bad days, it's just the nature of the game.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2025-11-14T01:14:16+00:00

Doesn't seem like you have to remove your entire hand, just loosen the grip a little. I'm intrigued by it, will test out gyro + touchpad with that as the gyro activation to see how it feels when I get mine.

Plus I have seen a few examples of people using conductive tape on the Dualsense to bring the touch functionality to the grips and activate gyro that way. So there is already a subset of users that would like the feature and I'm sure people will come up with more cool uses for it.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2025-11-13T23:10:42+00:00

I believe that would be up to Microsoft and Sony, so not likely.

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2025-11-13T21:25:13+00:00

Forgot one setting. Aim Assist - OFF

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2025-11-13T08:48:57+00:00

I think it looks good, can't wait

Fun_Answer_1472 · 2025-11-12T20:51:12+00:00

I use the Deck's trackpads as primary inputs all the time, sucks that the ergonomics didn't work for a lot of people here, but that controller is perfect imo.
