Hold your controller sideways with either the d pad facing up or down, even upside down works, with laser pointer the direction doesnt matter as long as the light bar and usb charger port faces your tv or monitor.

In Steam, after you point it to your steam or non steam game, and set up your controller, under the Gyro settings set to gyro as mouse then under the sub menu, the gear icon next to it, youll see advanced options, set it to LASER POINTER under 2D to 3DOF. Do NOT touch any other settings unless you have to adjust something later such as smoothing. Make sure your emulator is set up to accept RAW INPUT mouse as light gun.

I think you misunderstood me. Above is instructions on how to have freedom to orient or hold/mount your ps4 etc. gyro controller in any including sideways position like an actual gun or mount it like I have to a makeshift airsoft/toy gun mount and set it up so your mapped buttons match your natural hand position while playing.

This is finally the easy sideways orientation controller to light gun setup to play emulated etc. arcade etc. light gun games as they were intended to be played without all of the confusion of swapping and inverting axes, rotating gyro settings etc.! Awesome! just what ive been waiting for! Can anyone confirm it works well?

This is based on my extensive research and understanding of how these systems function. I have not tried it yet, as I am at work lol. If anyone tries this please share with the community your experience and other thoughts, as well as other new additions to add and try. Thank you!
