Does anyone have the Steam 2024 build? The current Steam version has a software issue causing severe drift with the Steam Controller's gyro. I rolled back to the 07/2023 build, which works perfectly, but I lost the "gyro to mouse" feature, and it's really frustrating. I came across a September 2024 build that I'm about to test, but as far as I know, Valve introduced gyro-to-mouse support in November 2024.Is anyone still using a Steam Controller? How did you encounter and resolve this issue? Did you also roll back?
Who even uses a crappy Steam Controller in 2025? Get an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 or kys faggot
>>106568082I use my Steam Controller from 2015 every single day. However, I graduated to Arch Linux. I also use gyro sparingly, the haptic trackpad is enough for me.>>106568153Why would anything with a triple-digit IQ use joysticks in 2025?
>>106568164>the haptic trackpad is enough for me.For RTS games, the trackpad is the go-to option, but for shooters and simcade, gyro is the way to go. Does your SC have gyro drift? Could you check it out?Steam>Settings>Controller>Calibration & Advanced Settings>Gyro CalibrationShake it and place it on a table; if it looks like this, it means yours has drift on Arch too. If not, it might be time to uninstall Windows and embrace the Linux pill.
>>106568252I will try it, be back in 10 mins.
>>106568269Thank you, Anon. I do appreciate your help.
>>106568292It looks to be 100% functional. I don't know why you say picrel means it has a drift, the instructions in the UI say all three metrics should be zero or near-zero at rest, which is the case for me.
>>106568427>I don't know why you say picrel means it has a driftCheck the icons; they are incorrect based on the metrics, so this issue is a software problem, not a hardware one.I suppose I should install Arch on a separate SSD to verify it for myself. Thanks, though.
>>106568459How should it look if it's functioning properly resting on a table?
>>106568505Like this.I’m not sure what’s going on under the hood, but the drift after just a few minutes of playing is so frustrating, which is why I’m searching for a November 2024 build.
>>106568615I can't display it properly. I upgraded to the current version so I could at least play with the DualShock I have (gyro as mouse). Those three icons should align straight. If you shake it and then place it on a table, they should reset to a straight position. It doesn't matter if it shows zero noise; the calculations or whatever process it's using are flawed, which is why the icons are misaligned and why it drifts after a short period of time.
>>106568615Oh, I didn't realize the icons moved along with the controller! Will check again.
>>106568459Here is a screenshot, so you can see the icon orientation. Sure enough, the middle icon is upside down. Please excuse the photo of my screen. Oddly, I didn’t notice drift while testing gyro mouse in Chrome. But I only did so for about a minute.
>>106568836>>106569550Thank you, Anon. I think I'll try Linux today. I hope it works. I sincerely appreciate your help. Good shit!
