Your system information

  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Setup "gyro to joystick deflection" with all deadzone and speed deadzone values set to 0.

Expected outcome:

Gyro to joystick works without any deadzone (like "as mouse" does)

Actual outcome

There is an irritating, relatively huge deadzone from the neutral position, that can't be made to disappear by changing any settings.


As said, the issue is not present when using other gyro steering variants, like gyroscope controlling mouse (the "old" option: "as mouse"). In the latter case, deadzone can be properly controlled.

Fixing this issue would seriously hurt steering wheel sales. I don't think it will ever happen unfortunately.

This is a major issue I'm sad to see isn't fixed two years after it was introduced. Here is a video demonstrating the bug: https://streamable.com/ojooc6

I'm happy we have JoyShockMapper in which gyro to joystick deflection is deadzone-free.

Nothing extracted yet.
