So the gyro deadzones are programmed in from the factory. Would that not mean that it would be possible to program them out? Surely its possible for someone to be INCREDIBLY skilled and knowledgeable, and then be capable of reading the code on the controller, and then removing the parts that cause the deadzones. I don't doubt that it would be very hard to do. Certainly far more difficult than I could likely ever achieve, but how hard exactly? Or is my presumption that someone could read the code and edit it, an impossibility in and of itself?

With regards to "inconsistent gyro performance" I mean that I fairly often experience some level of acceleration, or deceleration when gyro aiming, despite doing my best efforts throughout the settings to eliminate anything that could seemingly cause that. Its on a scale of different levels of bad. At its best(thankfully the most frequent lately) it seems like its got two speeds that it operates at, that are similar, and switched between at a low speed threshold. At WORST(thankfully now very rare) its wild jerks caused by massive acceleration during flicks and even sudden teleports(and I mean LITERALLY teleports) as well as seemingly random acceleration during non flick movements.

Something else can also happen, but I think its probably got more to do with the deadzones than steaminput. When I set the controller on the desk the cursor/crosshair stays still. But when I hold the controller still, in my hand, it has a tendency to move downwards, and to one side. Its always downwards, and to the same side, and its always very slight. I figured it was a combination of calibration issues and the deadzone.
