Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Lately, I've observed issues with the gyroscope support in Steam being very muddy compared to how it has worked previousl, at least for DualSense.

At random, the cursor jumps to a spot on the screen while the controller is in motion. This makes first-person games unplayable.

Below is a clip. In it, I am rotating my controller in circles and not pressing any buttons. Notice how the cursor suddenly jumps with no rhyme or reason.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Connect a wireless DualSense
  2. Use the Gyro to Mouse [beta] option in gyro settings in Steam Input
  3. Observe as there are occasional jumps that never happened before.
