Yeah it took me a couple of weeks and basically trying a bunch of options to get used to it.. as well as playing multiple games with pretty different mechanics so I could essentially practice for all of them. Though now I have the opposite issue where I can't get used to analog stick aim lol.. which isn't a major issue for me as I don't own any systems where I'd have to deal with it, but it does have some sort of irony about it :3

I've not played splatoon, but I know a lot of players there use gyro :3.. and nintendo in general is more gyro forward than playstation (and xbox is not even in the convo lol). I play on PC these days cause it's nice being able to set up my controller how I want with third party input remappers, feels a lot less limited :3

There's a lot of controllers I see people using for gyro :3 gamesir and 8bitdo ones seem popular, and there's also the inputlabs ones.. oh and the steam controller of course, as well as the switch pro controller since you mentioned just the joycons :3

I mean, I've not tried any of them (including joycons and the dual sense, I have a dualshock 4 lol) so I can't say how the gyro on them is, but those are the ones I see people use, so they're at least decent I imagine
