Switch 2: gyro deadzone and drift bug

The gyro on switch 2 has a huge deadzone when aiming with scopes 3x or over. This makes fine adjustments impossible. Not only that but when going from outside-deadzone movement to fine movement (inside-deadzone) the movement drifts either straight vertically or straight horizontally for a bit, even if I completely stop moving. There are no motion controls deadzone sliders in the settings to fix this.

 

Attachment shows a little bit of this in action. It's a little hard to see my physical movement of the switch 2 because of lighting, but I think it's still visible. It feels a lot worse than it seems on the video though.

 

This makes precise sniping impossible with motion controls imo

  • Firstly: I love Switch 2 version of Apex! It's running very good and looks amazing. Excellent job!

    Gyro aiming could indeed have separate setting for adjust gyro deadzones, and even eliminate it completely if we choose to do so. Make it adjustable (0 to 10) and it will be perfect. 

    This "aim drifting" is maybe some kinda auto-calibration feature? Like aim is calibrating itself in a certain way. I don't know why it's there, but it can be harmful for precise aiming, like Ottalaus_saus said here. It feels like I have to fight against my aim and I miss my G7 and 30-30 shots in the process. Would it be viable to give us option to turn this "gyro aim calibration" completely off? Again, I am not sure if it is indeed calibration, but it looks like it. 

    Thank you for amazing Switch 2 version and please consider to include these fixes/options for us who love to use gyro aiming feature ❤️
