Nintendo Switch gyroscope feedback

Dear apex legends developers, Hello! 

I'd like to give some feedback on the gyroscope control of Nintendo switch platform games. I'm very happy to launch the switch version today. First of all, thank you very much for your efforts, so that we can start apex anytime, anywhere! But today, in the process of my game, I found a problem: when the gyroscope aims, the left and right movement can only be realized by left and right translation, which greatly affects my normal left and right aiming operation, because it will increase the movement range of my arm and upper body. I suggest that you can change the determination method of gyro left and right aiming in the future, and change it to left and right swinging handheld to complete aiming. I am looking forward to your subsequent updates, and I am waiting for your reply!

    @crz5283 I'm having this issue as well. For some reason moving left and right doesn't work. This is because of the systems gyro in handheld mode. Using the joycon detached work fine, as well as the pro controller. Only happens in Apex, doom eternal gyro works fine. Hope it can be fixed because gyro is the whole reason I wanna use the switch version over ps4

    It's like using a steering wheel... To aim left/right...

    Everything else: Perfect.

    But this is unplayable.

    While not a fex really... It feels better if you play with a. Detached controller... But this is still a huge problem for handheld players

    @crz5283 I agree with everyone on here, HOWEVER..... today I played a match with one joy con in each hand and since the right joy con seemed to be the only one doing the motion tracking, it felt like holding a weapon! Please EA, if you change anything with the gyro controls, add a switch so we can leave it this way. My k/d ratio is goin through the rooof! Y’all need to pull off the joy one and put one in each hand, 007 style, thank me later 🙂

    @crz5283Yes +1 i was playing for a bit thinking it didn't work at all. I was surprised to see that it was looking at the rotation. It is ZERO intuitive and extremely weird.

    Please look at the gyro in fortnite, it's the best gyro.

    And im not playing apex until it's fixed. It's unplayable

    Hi @EA_David ,
    I wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work you do for this game.
    I have an issue when trying to aim with gyro (on the switch) for longer targets (in both handheld and tv mount mode) because there is a sort of an "auto-correction" that keeps dragging out the 
    crosshair from my target which makes it impossible to aim precisely/directly at the target.. Can you please fix that bug? I really have a bad time aiming with this...

    Also, can you make an option for handheld mode to aim with gyro but not as a steering wheel? (you look where do you want to aim at) I think it will be better for handheld players (I play handheld almost every time).

    Again, Thank you very much for your hard work!
