“We’d be heavily favouring PS5 over Xbox, which we don’t want to do”…

Xbox now in the position of holding the industry back from widespread adoption of the best control scheme innovation in decades

    Don't most people still prefer Xbox controllers over PlayStation ones? I mean, I got a PlayStation 4 controller because I thought the extra features could be useful but in terms of ergonomics, buttons and triggers I wish I had an Xbox controller sometimes. Oh yeah, and the fact that they take standard AAA batteries is an improvement over a fixed battery that goes to shit over time

    Speaking of those extra features, I use the track pad for stuff like screenshots and emulator hotkeys but I still haven't managed to make use of the gyro despite wanting to try gyro aiming out. I think it's just that I don't play any games that have proper gyro support.

      If you're playing on PC you usually have to enable gyro aiming at the system level using steam's controller settings menu, for example. This will map gyro inputs to mouse inputs.

        I've tried enabling gyro aim through Steam on a couple of FPS games but it felt really fiddly. I assume actual programmed gyro is supposed to feel better to use
