UPDATE June 2024: I cannot recommend using reWASD anymore as it has become known as a cheating program and is being treated as one by developers. It is being blocked or banned in more and more games lately and it's reputation is now known as a cheating program due to people abusing it to get aim assist on mouse or run anti-recoil scripts etc. I recommend people to move over to Steam input for JoyCon Gyro as that is the more user friendly option. I am leaving this video up in case anyone still wants to use it but I would warn against using it if you play multiplayer games at all. The videos on this channel from now on will not have reWASD configs posted with them as I have stopped using the program.
Thanks for the video, I have wanted to play House of the Dead Overkill with motion for a while and this is great. Only issue I had was when the game was in fullscreen the gyro was very laggy, but switching to window mode fixed it.
Had issues. 😳😳😳 Splatoon 3 on switch works so good for tracking. I was trying the trial of wasd and did your config for vanguard but just in general once I turned it on, the right joycon to aim is just so finicky it barely moves and disconnects like it doesn’t feel like it’s a steady connection of data but like it gets stopped every few seconds it’s so off I guess mine are just bricked or something cause I spent hours trying to tweak the settings myself and it just doesn’t work right
Sorry to hear that, what JoyCon are you using? My Vanguard config uses ratcheting so you have to hold down the X button for the gyro to move so make sure you are doing that
It's important to say that some BT adapters don't have good refresh rates. I have one here that is terrible (looks like i'm playing at 30FPS or lower) and the other one is amazing. I can play at 144FPS@144Hz in my display and the feel is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, smooth like mouse.
Hello! Does rewasd register non-controller devices for gyro input? For example, I want to use the WitMotion Bluetooth Gyro for my onexplayer, but I don't know how to turn that data into user input. Also, if it can read gyro input, can the gyro input be rebinded to left analog stick instead of right analog/mouse? edit: I saw on your site question 2 was answered. Still curious about the accelerometer
@@Chspas Hi there! Hm, reWASD works with physical devices that are currently supported, and can remap gyro for them. So I am not sure that your case is possible. But reWASD has a trial period, and you can test it out :) Maybe this will interest you: reWASD offers the UPD protocol for gyro. But this way, you remap your device to a virtual DS4 controller, and gyro data will be passed further to the apps via UDP protocol. Gyro input can be remapped to virtual keyboard, mouse or controller mappings, but again, you can do this with a supported controller.
Just tried out joycons with gyro and love the split style controller way better than the PS4 controller. I wanted to get a third party controller but worry about the quality of the gyro. Do you still recommend Binboks? or is there another brand that might be better right now? Thanks!
I've tried a ton of JoyCon and I still recommend the Binbok especially now that the firmware fix for bad gyro is available (I see you found the reddit post). They have the best feel for me and the programmable button the back is just really useful. Other than that I would recommend official JoyCon if you want to pay the Nintendo tax!
dude I gotta say I’ve been enjoying these binboks for the past week and appreciate this video for helping me set them up. The final thing I need to figure out is whether there is some capability in ReWasd to use the back paddles. Since the switch joycons don’t have back paddles there’s no way to map them on the virtual controller. Do you know of any workarounds or will I have to wait until a software update makes this a possibility?
Unfortunately the back paddles can only be mapped to an existing button on their respective side, reWASD doesn't see them as their own input at all to map. The nice thing about the binboks is the back button is mappable to buttons like + or - which are normally not useful for in-game actions but since you can now use that as the back button you can make it something you use often like jump or crouch, etc.

Say, if I want to use gyroscope on both joycons (one as motion stick/tilt control and the other as gyro mouse) I just simply keep them as separate devices instead of grouping them, right?
Yes, if you ungroup you can individually map each Joy-Con's gyro. However I haven't tested it with gyro -> stick input myself, but I have mixed and matched with mouse (on both), mouse + wasd, etc and it worked fine.
It depends on if those buttons are switch inputs or just hardware buttons to config that controller. If they are switch inputs then you should be able to map them in reWASD. Although reWASD has no mouse to center or any kind of mouse movement macros available.
Np! I had issues with Steam Input recognizing both JoyCon, I could only get it working with one so ended up giving up on it. That was a while ago though so it might be different now. I haven't tried DS4Windows so don't know about that
@@directedinput I took the leap and bought a Binbok-like joycon(Echtpower). Once I set up gyro with reWASD, the mouse cursor was floaty. It didn't feel like a natural mouse at all. I also used your CP2077 config, and still had the same feeling. Do you find that to be the case, as well? My only other point of reference for gyro is the 8bitdo Pro 2, and going into mouse mode there feels like natural mouse movement. Have you used other gyro controllers and what's the mouse behavior like compared to joycons?
By floaty do you mean it was like delayed? Because that isn't the case with mine at all, but I can't speak to the Echtpower Joycon. Most gyro controllers I've tried have felt pretty similar wrt responsiveness, I've tried: JoyCon (official and binbok), Steam Controller, DS4 and Dualsense. Is it possible you have the smoothness cranked up in reWASD for gyro? That would cause it to feel floaty and delayed
@@directedinput It wasn't a delay, more like when you're trying to move to a specific spot, the cursor will get to the vicinity, then start floating in a COMPLETELY RANDOM direction, and I'd have to further correct the movement, and also concentrate hard to keep my hand still. This is more prevalent when the joycons are separated, but it still happens when I connect them with the adapter. The smoothness is set to whatever you had for CP2077, which I believe is 10. I've also tried raising and lowering the smoothness to see if that was the culprit, and it wasn't. I tried the same for sensitivity, as well. When playing Gridshot in Aim Lab, it's taking over a second for me to hit a target, whereas with a mouse and 8bitdo, my personal best is a little over 500ms. I'm not sure if more practice will allow me to cut the response time in half. How long did it take you to master this from a conventional controller?
That's very strange behavior with it drifting in a random direction. My suspicion is either the gyro is bad or maybe connection issues with bluetooth or wireless signal, have you tried playng with it wired through usb? Honestly it did not take me long to get used to it, maybe a few hours but that is because I've been using motion controls for gaming for years and years at this point, before Gyro. You can check the videos on my channel to see before Gyro I was using a Razer Hydra which has the same 'pointer' aiming style so there wasn't much to get used to for me.
I can pair only one of my BINBOK joycons at the time using 8bitdo2 adapter, i am on windows 11, any tips? Also it detects as x360 controller...Can u recommend me the best bluetooth adapter, that would support both joycons at the same time?
That is a known thing about the 8bitdo2 adapter, that it can only pair one joycon at a time. I recommend the ASUS BT400 BT adapter and it works with both joycon.
Are you sure you followed the directions exactly? I have multiple sets of binbok and the gyro works on all of them, could you give some more details and maybe I can help
@@directedinput In first instance, it worked but I updated the drivers to v133 and now it doesn't work. I tried with the other versions (127, 128 , 129) and the problem persists.
@@HardLynxstyle I updated one of my binbok sets to v129 and it still worked fine, so I'm not sure if that would stop the gyro from working. Are the controllers showing up in reWASD in the bottom left? Are you connecting them to the PC via bluetooth?
Hey friend. As I had commented in another video of yours, I find it very easy (due to your videos) to create any game configuration in the excellent MotionCreator program for the Razer hydra controller, of which I am a great admirer and which in my opinion was the best control already created for PC gamers who don't have the ability to play with keyboard and mouse. But noticing that you, also a former Razer Hydra user, are now using the Joy-cons controls, I felt like buying them and trying them out. But first I would like to know your opinion on two things; 1) Do joy-cons, as they are bluettoth communication, have the excellent motion capture sensitivity (close to 100%) that the Razer Hydra has? 2) Considering motion capture as the main feature of the controller, would "reWASD" be the best software or would there be others (regardless of configuration complexity) to enable the use of joy-cons controls on the PC?
The Bluetooth connection can vary based on the distance to the receiver and which receiver you use. The ASUS receiver in this video is the one I use and I find it to be very good with regards to sensitivity and responsiveness, but I can't say for sure if it will work with everyone's individual setup. As for the software, reWASD is the way to go in my view. It's just so easy to set up and make configs for, and is very user friendly. They are also regularly updating it and provide support on their discord so it's nice to have an 'active' software in development as opposed to the Motioncreator which has been abandoned for a long time. Hope that helps!
@@directedinput Thanks for the answer! I think I'll try the Binbok model that from what I've seen in several videos, anatomically fits better in your hands.
Thx for the video . I have a little question tho . Idk if you know alot about rewasd , but when the free trial is over , can i still use the mapped controls?
I am trying to use the original joy con with steam input, but notice a noticeable lag when in-game. Did you try using these on steam and do you have this issue with ReWASD?
There is an issue with official nintendo joycon where if the firmware has been updated they can have a laggy gyro, this happens on reWASD or Steam. It is an intermittent issue as in it comes and goes and I think it's related to a power saving type mode. Unfortunately there is no known way to downgrade the firmware
Very cool video! I will use this for my PC games. i have the same controllers, binbok v2. Unfortunately they show as pro controllers on yuzu and Steam doesn't even register them, could i use this software to play as dual cons in yuzu (for games like skyward sword for the motion control) and stream?
You can use them in Yuzu but I'm not sure about the motion part. I just set them as an xbox controller in reWASD and then Yuzu picks it up as an xbox controller and maps everything that way. You could use reWASD to map gyro to mouse and then have mouse act as the switch gyro in Yuzu, but I haven't done that personally
Yes, you can map the right stick via the shortcuts to Mouse, which would make it look around, or you could just use a normal gamepad (xbox) layout and add gyro aiming on top, however in this case the gyro would be emulating a gamepad analog stick so would not be as accurate as normal gyro.
Yes, use the 'switch to Xbox 360' config from the top right menu in reWASD and then whenever you reconnect that controller it'll auto select that config
You have to set a button to toggle gyro on/off and first toggle the gyro off, then set another button (the button you want to be the 'Ratchet' button) to toggle gyro on/off on the start press and release press activators. Then you can press and hold to Ratchet the view around.
@@BioShocklt Just wanted to update that as of reWASD 6.0 you can choose the gyro initial state (on or off) in options -> gamepads so you no longer need a button to disable gyro first.
I have 2 switch pro controllers. Windows can't dectect the gyro. If I buy this, will this work on mame arcade games to play shooter games like Time Crisis or area 51. This is a must have program if it works.
It won't work like a lightgun, but if MAME accepts mouse input to emulate lightguns then you could make the gyro act like a mouse which is what I do in this video and then it should work
@@directedinput I tried it, it did something to my mame application. Mame can't read my keyboard keys anymore. The reWASD installation did something that mame no longer works with keyboard Inputs. Even when the reWASD program is off. The gyro did work on my PC but not with mame. Maybe reinstalling mame can fix it. I have no idea what happened.
@@100Bucks reWASD creates a virtual input device, maybe MAME switched over to that or another input device instead of using the same keyboard you were using before. Maybe check in the settings if it lets you choose what input device to use
@@directedinput I have one more question. I just watched a video on reWASD and they paired the Nintendo Switch console over the local network and was able to use any other controller. This method is some form of Titan One device which I recently paid for. My question is can you use different controllers on different game consoles or just the Nintendo Switch. If this is true then this is exactly like Titan One minus the program cord. Love the Titan One by the way. This program is awesome as well if it multi platform like Titan One.
@@directedinput You was right. I fixed the issue. In reWASD settings you have to check "Do not create Virtual Input Devices" I was about to unstall mame for no reason and would continue to have the same issue no matter what. Thank you. I haven't tried the gyro again yet but your comment did fix the issue.
I use Binbok brand and they can be found on Amazon, I believe they are branded NYXI in other territories. I find them more comfortable to hold but I can't say whether they have a better or worse gyro sensor, I plan to do some tests on that in the future. I can't link here but it's easy to find them on Amazon.
Yes, the original JoyCon are too small for me, and they have small buttons and analog sticks. The Binbok have full size buttons and analog sticks plus a remappable button on the back which is why I use them the most, and the bigger shape makes the more comfortable for me
I get a lag issue, specifically with gyro, when i put my right joy con as the first controller in the controller grouping(i am also right handed). If i switch it to left joy con as first, its smooth for gyro? Have you ever come across this issue?
@@directedinput yeah that works, left first then right. I do still find over time the right starts to lag again, sometimes it fixes it if i just disconnect the right and connect again.
@@directedinput ill try getting that one. My msi motherboard has a built in one and it might be exactly the issue. Ill keep you updated so it can help others with the same problem. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the new videos and your ready-made configuration files. I ask you for help. My Joy-Con work fine with one exception - the gyroscope is connecting in the left joy-con, and not in the right as I would like. JoyCons are 100% serviceable. I think it's some kind of setup, but I can't find it. Help me, please!!!!
Did you make sure to group the right JoyCon first when grouping them in reWASD? That is the one that will have the gyro activated on so you have to do right first then left if you want to use right side Gyro
is it possible to configure nintendo joycons in the same way? Do you always need a steam store for games? p.s. excuse me, I watched the video in a mute
@@directedinput you know if its possible to set reWASD to only simulate the key press once, and stop any other input until you return to the zero state. i.e. I tilt the joy con linked to R, so is like im pressing R constantly. To make it only print R once, even when left tilted. Hope im clear in my description
I believe you can do this with the Combo function, at the top of the screen you can change it to 'Execute at once' and then only put R key in the combo
@@Orei77 The hydra feels more precise and accurate, but I haven't noticed a difference in delay between the two. I think that would also depend on the strength of the bluetooth connection for JoyCon as well
Ratcheting means to use a button as your method of camera centering, in my case I use the top face button to enable the movement. So I hold it to look around then release it when I want to recenter without mvoement, some people do the opposite and use it to disable.
Thanks! Yeah I was using a shift layer too but found it to make some of my other binds inconsistent based on the state they were in when I shifted, for that reason I used press activators here because since they stay in the default shift layer they don't mess with any other binds.
@@directedinput do you think gyro ratcheting is better then using flickstick? i tried that on boomerang x and i had trouble keeping the aim straight. i constantly had to pauze the gyro just to recenter my hands. on most games i just use the rightstick to recenter my caera whenever my hands are in a weird position. I seem to do this reset whithout thinking about it. iI only noticed that i seem to recenter my aim uncounsiously when i tried flickstick. that is wheni found out it did that automatically. but with flickstick i could not recenter horizontally, so i had to constantly recenter by pauzing the gyro. Maybe gyro ratcheting is a better option for me? What do you think about the differences between these two methods.
@@caleasthetic For me I think Ratcheting is the way to go, however I use split controls that gives some more range of motion so maybe that is why. I don't find flick stick very intuitive but it may be better for people using a regular gamepad. IMO the best ways to gyro are Ratcheting (either gyro on or gyro off ratchet) and high sens look stick with gyro always on
@@directedinput do adjust mouse sensitivity ingame or on the input mapper?. on steam i usually have a low sensitivity ingame that turn the camera 360 when i turn my controller 360 degrees. i always try to use the sensitivity modifier on the input mapper itself (in my case steam). if i use a high sensitivity ingame the mouse gets a little jittery.
hello! is it possible to calibrate the gyroscope so that it can sense the edges of the screen? im using YAW but when i point off the screen the gyro becomes out of alignment with the pointer.
As far as I know reWASD doesn't do any kind of 'edge of screen' calculations with it's mouse control, which unfortunately means there is no 'center mouse' command. They have said that they plan to add that in the future though so maybe they will also get edge detection since you need one to get the other. I will add though that I think if you are using the gyro as a pointer as in pointing it at a screen to control the cursor, it will always end up out of alignment with the cursor because of gyro drift. That is why the Wii used an IR sensor to keep it aligned when you pointed at the screen, so it is better to just use it in a relative way and not as if it is a laser pointer to the screen.
@@directedinput so are there any settings you can recommend to at least minimize the alignment issue? if you can avoid hitting the edges of the screen somehow then you can reduce most of the misalignment. also this probably isnt an issue on the switch so it must be possible but I'm not sure
Sorry I don't know how you would get it working with no ratcheting at all unless you wanted to emulate an analog stick and not a mouse. If you want to do that then set your gyro to the 'right stick' so that way it will auto center itself like an analog stick does.
@@musicislife9296 Unfortunately reWASD doesn't let you start the gyro in an 'off' state, so what I do is have a button (like one of the unused side buttons) as a toggle gyro on/off button and toggle it off when I first start playing, then my Ratchet binding with toggle gyro on/off on both the start and release press activators will work properly and turn the gyro one while I hold the button.

It depends on if those buttons are switch inputs or just hardware buttons to config that controller. If they are switch inputs then you should be able to map them in reWASD. Although reWASD has no mouse to center or any kind of mouse movement macros available.
Thank you for this! Does this also work with Steam Input and/or DS4windows insteadof reWASD?
Np! I had issues with Steam Input recognizing both JoyCon, I could only get it working with one so ended up giving up on it. That was a while ago though so it might be different now. I haven't tried DS4Windows so don't know about that
@@directedinput I took the leap and bought a Binbok-like joycon(Echtpower). Once I set up gyro with reWASD, the mouse cursor was floaty. It didn't feel like a natural mouse at all. I also used your CP2077 config, and still had the same feeling. Do you find that to be the case, as well? My only other point of reference for gyro is the 8bitdo Pro 2, and going into mouse mode there feels like natural mouse movement. Have you used other gyro controllers and what's the mouse behavior like compared to joycons?
By floaty do you mean it was like delayed? Because that isn't the case with mine at all, but I can't speak to the Echtpower Joycon. Most gyro controllers I've tried have felt pretty similar wrt responsiveness, I've tried: JoyCon (official and binbok), Steam Controller, DS4 and Dualsense.
Is it possible you have the smoothness cranked up in reWASD for gyro? That would cause it to feel floaty and delayed
@@directedinput It wasn't a delay, more like when you're trying to move to a specific spot, the cursor will get to the vicinity, then start floating in a COMPLETELY RANDOM direction, and I'd have to further correct the movement, and also concentrate hard to keep my hand still. This is more prevalent when the joycons are separated, but it still happens when I connect them with the adapter.
The smoothness is set to whatever you had for CP2077, which I believe is 10. I've also tried raising and lowering the smoothness to see if that was the culprit, and it wasn't. I tried the same for sensitivity, as well.
When playing Gridshot in Aim Lab, it's taking over a second for me to hit a target, whereas with a mouse and 8bitdo, my personal best is a little over 500ms. I'm not sure if more practice will allow me to cut the response time in half. How long did it take you to master this from a conventional controller?
That's very strange behavior with it drifting in a random direction. My suspicion is either the gyro is bad or maybe connection issues with bluetooth or wireless signal, have you tried playng with it wired through usb?
Honestly it did not take me long to get used to it, maybe a few hours but that is because I've been using motion controls for gaming for years and years at this point, before Gyro. You can check the videos on my channel to see before Gyro I was using a Razer Hydra which has the same 'pointer' aiming style so there wasn't much to get used to for me.
I can pair only one of my BINBOK joycons at the time using 8bitdo2 adapter, i am on windows 11, any tips? Also it detects as x360 controller...Can u recommend me the best bluetooth adapter, that would support both joycons at the same time?
That is a known thing about the 8bitdo2 adapter, that it can only pair one joycon at a time. I recommend the ASUS BT400 BT adapter and it works with both joycon.
@@directedinput Thank you sir! Do u think combining combining Azeron Cyborg and right joy con for aiming is viable option?:)
Totally! That seems like a great setup for games with tons of keybinds. I think reWASD also supports azerons which would make it easy as well.
@@directedinput yeah it does, good to know, should be a killer combo, thanks!
@@directedinput + and - buttons on joycons dont work when binded, tried that in Remnant and OW2, any clues why?
I have the binbonk ones and the gyro doesnt work :(
Are you sure you followed the directions exactly? I have multiple sets of binbok and the gyro works on all of them, could you give some more details and maybe I can help
@@directedinput In first instance, it worked but I updated the drivers to v133 and now it doesn't work. I tried with the other versions (127, 128 , 129) and the problem persists.
@@HardLynxstyle I updated one of my binbok sets to v129 and it still worked fine, so I'm not sure if that would stop the gyro from working. Are the controllers showing up in reWASD in the bottom left? Are you connecting them to the PC via bluetooth?
Thank you for the tutorial
No problem
Hey friend. As I had commented in another video of yours, I find it very easy (due to your videos) to create any game configuration in the excellent MotionCreator program for the Razer hydra controller, of which I am a great admirer and which in my opinion was the best control already created for PC gamers who don't have the ability to play with keyboard and mouse.
But noticing that you, also a former Razer Hydra user, are now using the Joy-cons controls, I felt like buying them and trying them out. But first I would like to know your opinion on two things;
1) Do joy-cons, as they are bluettoth communication, have the excellent motion capture sensitivity (close to 100%) that the Razer Hydra has?
2) Considering motion capture as the main feature of the controller, would "reWASD" be the best software or would there be others (regardless of configuration complexity) to enable the use of joy-cons controls on the PC?
The Bluetooth connection can vary based on the distance to the receiver and which receiver you use. The ASUS receiver in this video is the one I use and I find it to be very good with regards to sensitivity and responsiveness, but I can't say for sure if it will work with everyone's individual setup.
As for the software, reWASD is the way to go in my view. It's just so easy to set up and make configs for, and is very user friendly. They are also regularly updating it and provide support on their discord so it's nice to have an 'active' software in development as opposed to the Motioncreator which has been abandoned for a long time.
Hope that helps!
@@directedinput Thanks for the answer! I think I'll try the Binbok model that from what I've seen in several videos, anatomically fits better in your hands.
Pode ser a conexão, eu coloco meu adaptador bem perto na frente de onde meu joy-con está
Thx for the video . I have a little question tho . Idk if you know alot about rewasd , but when the free trial is over , can i still use the mapped controls?
I don't think so, unless you somehow restart the trial
@@directedinput oh btw , is there any way to fix the lag of the joy-con gyro? (I was using joyshockmapper btw)
@@mohamedmoubarik4072 If using Binbok style JoyCon there may be a firmware update you can apply to fix lag
I am trying to use the original joy con with steam input, but notice a noticeable lag when in-game. Did you try using these on steam and do you have this issue with ReWASD?
There is an issue with official nintendo joycon where if the firmware has been updated they can have a laggy gyro, this happens on reWASD or Steam. It is an intermittent issue as in it comes and goes and I think it's related to a power saving type mode. Unfortunately there is no known way to downgrade the firmware
@@directedinput so using a third party joy con may resolve that? Even with steam input?
@@NguyenLe-xh9zh Yes, though some third party joycon have gyro lag issues as well that may require firmware updates to fix
@@directedinput thank you. I will try a third party Joy con
Is there a way to charge the binbok joy-cons using the included usb-c cable connected to one of the usb-c inputs on the joy-cons?
Yes, they can charge over usb-c
Very cool video! I will use this for my PC games. i have the same controllers, binbok v2. Unfortunately they show as pro controllers on yuzu and Steam doesn't even register them, could i use this software to play as dual cons in yuzu (for games like skyward sword for the motion control) and stream?
You can use them in Yuzu but I'm not sure about the motion part. I just set them as an xbox controller in reWASD and then Yuzu picks it up as an xbox controller and maps everything that way. You could use reWASD to map gyro to mouse and then have mouse act as the switch gyro in Yuzu, but I haven't done that personally
Is there a way to combine stick camera controls and the gyro one?
Yes, you can map the right stick via the shortcuts to Mouse, which would make it look around, or you could just use a normal gamepad (xbox) layout and add gyro aiming on top, however in this case the gyro would be emulating a gamepad analog stick so would not be as accurate as normal gyro.
@@directedinput I'll try it out, thx!
Does this software work on daulsense as well?
This software is amazing. I Will be able to play better than switch' s skyrim
Yes, it works with Dualsense
Can i just turn into Xbox controller and not to worry about config to every each game ?
Yes, use the 'switch to Xbox 360' config from the top right menu in reWASD and then whenever you reconnect that controller it'll auto select that config
Can I set up and usethe both side gyro? I mean left is high sens gyro right low sens.
reWASD only allows one side gyro at a time right now. Maybe JoyShockMapper would allow this, not sure though
does it work for betterjoy to use gyro for yuzu / cemu ?
I have not tested a gyro game on yuzu or cemu but it does work to map the controller via betterjoy
@@directedinput oh thanks
i just bought the binbok ys37 and it working fine in yuzu , steam , rewasd !
awesome!
Hey, i did exactly what you did, but my gyro works by default, why i want to get activated only when i hold X, like you?
You have to set a button to toggle gyro on/off and first toggle the gyro off, then set another button (the button you want to be the 'Ratchet' button) to toggle gyro on/off on the start press and release press activators. Then you can press and hold to Ratchet the view around.
@@directedinput thanks, i contacted rewasd yesterday and i took few hours to resolve my issue :D
@@BioShocklt Just wanted to update that as of reWASD 6.0 you can choose the gyro initial state (on or off) in options -> gamepads so you no longer need a button to disable gyro first.
@@directedinput noted, thanks!
I have 2 switch pro controllers. Windows can't dectect the gyro. If I buy this, will this work on mame arcade games to play shooter games like Time Crisis or area 51. This is a must have program if it works.
It won't work like a lightgun, but if MAME accepts mouse input to emulate lightguns then you could make the gyro act like a mouse which is what I do in this video and then it should work
@@directedinput I tried it, it did something to my mame application. Mame can't read my keyboard keys anymore. The reWASD installation did something that mame no longer works with keyboard Inputs. Even when the reWASD program is off. The gyro did work on my PC but not with mame. Maybe reinstalling mame can fix it. I have no idea what happened.
@@100Bucks reWASD creates a virtual input device, maybe MAME switched over to that or another input device instead of using the same keyboard you were using before. Maybe check in the settings if it lets you choose what input device to use
@@directedinput I have one more question. I just watched a video on reWASD and they paired the Nintendo Switch console over the local network and was able to use any other controller. This method is some form of Titan One device which I recently paid for. My question is can you use different controllers on different game consoles or just the Nintendo Switch. If this is true then this is exactly like Titan One minus the program cord. Love the Titan One by the way. This program is awesome as well if it multi platform like Titan One.
@@directedinput You was right. I fixed the issue. In reWASD settings you have to check "Do not create Virtual Input Devices" I was about to unstall mame for no reason and would continue to have the same issue no matter what. Thank you. I haven't tried the gyro again yet but your comment did fix the issue.
muito bom! 👏👍
Pls, what joycons you can advise, with better gyro sensor, better holding in hand and other? =) Maybe some links on products.
I use Binbok brand and they can be found on Amazon, I believe they are branded NYXI in other territories. I find them more comfortable to hold but I can't say whether they have a better or worse gyro sensor, I plan to do some tests on that in the future. I can't link here but it's easy to find them on Amazon.
@@directedinput Thank you for answer. But why dont you use original joy con? Only because of more comfortable holding? Have to know before any bying)
Yes, the original JoyCon are too small for me, and they have small buttons and analog sticks. The Binbok have full size buttons and analog sticks plus a remappable button on the back which is why I use them the most, and the bigger shape makes the more comfortable for me
I get a lag issue, specifically with gyro, when i put my right joy con as the first controller in the controller grouping(i am also right handed). If i switch it to left joy con as first, its smooth for gyro? Have you ever come across this issue?
I've never experienced that, as I always group Right first. Have you tried changing the order you pair/connect the joy-con to the PC?
@@directedinput yeah that works, left first then right. I do still find over time the right starts to lag again, sometimes it fixes it if i just disconnect the right and connect again.
Hmm, might be an issue with the bluetooth adapter. I can recommend the ASUS BT400 for dual joycon has always worked well for me
@@directedinput ill try getting that one. My msi motherboard has a built in one and it might be exactly the issue. Ill keep you updated so it can help others with the same problem. Thank you so much!
@@butters742 Did the new BT adapter make any difference?
Thank you for the new videos and your ready-made configuration files. I ask you for help. My Joy-Con work fine with one exception - the gyroscope is connecting in the left joy-con, and not in the right as I would like. JoyCons are 100% serviceable. I think it's some kind of setup, but I can't find it. Help me, please!!!!
Did you make sure to group the right JoyCon first when grouping them in reWASD? That is the one that will have the gyro activated on so you have to do right first then left if you want to use right side Gyro
@@directedinput Thank you very much! That was the problem.
Np! Enjoy
is it possible to configure nintendo joycons in the same way? Do you always need a steam store for games?
p.s. excuse me, I watched the video in a mute
Yes, and you don't need Steam as this tutorial is for the software reWASD
Great, I got the idea to try with clone hero, for drums
Sounds like a fun way to play
@@directedinput Ill came back with results
@@directedinput you know if its possible to set reWASD to only simulate the key press once, and stop any other input until you return to the zero state. i.e. I tilt the joy con linked to R, so is like im pressing R constantly. To make it only print R once, even when left tilted. Hope im clear in my description
I believe you can do this with the Combo function, at the top of the screen you can change it to 'Execute at once' and then only put R key in the combo
Hi! Is the Joy-Com gyro more convenient than the Razer Hydra?
Yes, it's way easier to get up and running and make configs with reWASD. It's also much more accessible due to availability and pricing, etc.
@@directedinput It is always good when there is an alternative. Moreover, it is wireless.
@@WildPodsolnux Wireless is definitely a huge upgrade!
@directedinput But Overall quality, delay and precision of the joy-com, compared to the Hydra? It’s better?
@@Orei77 The hydra feels more precise and accurate, but I haven't noticed a difference in delay between the two. I think that would also depend on the strength of the bluetooth connection for JoyCon as well
How do you "ratchet"? I'm really interested in this control method.
Ratcheting means to use a button as your method of camera centering, in my case I use the top face button to enable the movement. So I hold it to look around then release it when I want to recenter without mvoement, some people do the opposite and use it to disable.
Great content, thanks, i was actually using shift layers to "ratchet", i didn't know i could map it this way
Thanks! Yeah I was using a shift layer too but found it to make some of my other binds inconsistent based on the state they were in when I shifted, for that reason I used press activators here because since they stay in the default shift layer they don't mess with any other binds.
@@directedinput ok that makes sense, i will probably use that method now
@@directedinput do you think gyro ratcheting is better then using flickstick? i tried that on boomerang x and i had trouble keeping the aim straight. i constantly had to pauze the gyro just to recenter my hands. on most games i just use the rightstick to recenter my caera whenever my hands are in a weird position. I seem to do this reset whithout thinking about it. iI only noticed that i seem to recenter my aim uncounsiously when i tried flickstick. that is wheni found out it did that automatically. but with flickstick i could not recenter horizontally, so i had to constantly recenter by pauzing the gyro. Maybe gyro ratcheting is a better option for me? What do you think about the differences between these two methods.
@@caleasthetic For me I think Ratcheting is the way to go, however I use split controls that gives some more range of motion so maybe that is why. I don't find flick stick very intuitive but it may be better for people using a regular gamepad.
IMO the best ways to gyro are Ratcheting (either gyro on or gyro off ratchet) and high sens look stick with gyro always on
@@directedinput do adjust mouse sensitivity ingame or on the input mapper?. on steam i usually have a low sensitivity ingame that turn the camera 360 when i turn my controller 360 degrees. i always try to use the sensitivity modifier on the input mapper itself (in my case steam). if i use a high sensitivity ingame the mouse gets a little jittery.
hello! is it possible to calibrate the gyroscope so that it can sense the edges of the screen? im using YAW but when i point off the screen the gyro becomes out of alignment with the pointer.
As far as I know reWASD doesn't do any kind of 'edge of screen' calculations with it's mouse control, which unfortunately means there is no 'center mouse' command. They have said that they plan to add that in the future though so maybe they will also get edge detection since you need one to get the other.
I will add though that I think if you are using the gyro as a pointer as in pointing it at a screen to control the cursor, it will always end up out of alignment with the cursor because of gyro drift. That is why the Wii used an IR sensor to keep it aligned when you pointed at the screen, so it is better to just use it in a relative way and not as if it is a laser pointer to the screen.
@@directedinput so are there any settings you can recommend to at least minimize the alignment issue? if you can avoid hitting the edges of the screen somehow then you can reduce most of the misalignment. also this probably isnt an issue on the switch so it must be possible but I'm not sure
basically I want a setup that requires almost no ratcheting
Sorry I don't know how you would get it working with no ratcheting at all unless you wanted to emulate an analog stick and not a mouse. If you want to do that then set your gyro to the 'right stick' so that way it will auto center itself like an analog stick does.
@@directedinput I'll try that! thanks!
thanks
THANKS YOU
Can i acivate gyro only when i hold l2? Only when i aim
Yes, use the start-press and release-press activators and map them to 'toggle gyro on/off' for your L2 button

Np! enjoy
@@directedinput Hey, can you please help? It's doing the opposite of what I want and turning off the gyro when I hold L2.
@@musicislife9296 Unfortunately reWASD doesn't let you start the gyro in an 'off' state, so what I do is have a button (like one of the unused side buttons) as a toggle gyro on/off button and toggle it off when I first start playing, then my Ratchet binding with toggle gyro on/off on both the start and release press activators will work properly and turn the gyro one while I hold the button.
