- UPDATE:
I'm getting reports that some people cannot find my layout on the steam community page. Here is a workaround :
(keyboard and mouse recommend for these steps)
1. Open desktop mode
2. Close Steam entirely (Exit Steam)
3. Open Konsole and copy/paste the following: xdg-open steam://controllerconfig/1172470/3015550356
4. Run the command by pressing the Return key, wait for the Steam to start back up
5. You'll probably see an empty layout after a few seconds. Hit the 'B' button on the deck to exit
6. Copy/Paste and run the previous Konsole command again
7. You should now see the layout. Hit 'X' on the Steam Deck to apply
Alternatively you can also setup the gyro in Steam manually:
Gyro: As Joystick
VSS: 100
CRC: 200
ESMP: 1
Rotation: 0
MT: 0
MJXOV: 1
MJYOV: 1
GOS: 150
(These settings require NO deadzone and Linear Response curve in the game settings.
These gyro settings of course do not include Tap Strafing.)
Ever since the Steam Deck was announced I was really looking forward to play Apex Legends on it.
However, the small form factor, as well as being matched with PC players makes it quite a challenge, so in this video tutorial I explain how to squeeze the most performance out of the Steam Deck on SteamOS. I also go over how to utilise the gyro to help you aim and overcome the stiff RS on the Deck, and how to Tap Strafe with my layout.

Please make more videos on apex legends on steam deck
Subbed cause of this video! Real informative 👍 Thank you!
Great explanation. This is your best video to date. ❤
That was awesome, I hope you can get viral ty
As a person who plays splatoon this is gonna help so much.
really inforamtive video, I've been afk for a while and maybe I'll pick this game up next month and I will come back to this video then, thank you
If you could recommend me any button to bind to the “T” key so that I can use push to talk, what button do you think would be best?
You’re good play on steam deck👍🏼
I got problem playing on steam deck hard to spot enemy🤣
Solid gameplay. I'm curious if we can use gyro with Win11 on SD since I'm currently playing a lot of Destiny 2 on it, thanks to dual booting. I've played FPS on PC for years and I can't get used to controllers so I should definitely learn gyro.
It should work with destiny as long as you launch the game from steam and have steam input enabled in the game’s properties
Can you give me the tutorial for dual bot ?
@@yeqve There are a lot of good tutorials on TH-cam. The one I used could be outdated at this point. It's not a hard process, even for not-tech savy people.
Very detailed explanation! Well documented as well.
Is Gyroscope really that intuitive? I've had been using inverted Y achse and been switching back to "normal" achse. Also been enjoying Battlefield 1 quite a bit. It runs insanely good on the Deck with Cryo 2.0, Proton GE & "DXVK_asnyc=1 %commandline%". I'm not exactly sure what dxvk async does but for whatever reason it increases fps tremendously in most games.
Gyro imo is the answer to aim assist. On Apex Legends Mobile it was essential for having fast and accurate aim, and almost everybody used it. I really wish Respawn would implement gyro natively om PC, PS5 and Switch. (Microsoft needs to get with the program and update their Xbox controller with a hardware gyroscope) My steam input method works well, but it’s still a bit of a DIY hack. It’s not as consistent and accurate compared to games that have native gyro controls implemented engine-side (CoD MW2/WZ2 has really great native gyro support on PC and PS5)
Regarding DXVK. As I understand it that launch option tells proton to keep compiling shaders in the background as you play, instead of compiling each shader only when it’s needed during gameplay (that’s what often causes stutter in some games.) I’m not sure if -or how much Apex Legends benefits from this launch option, since it comes with community pre-compiled shaders on SteamOS that are automatically updated before launching the game each time new shaders are required.
@@zerocore_Seems like that gyro may be officially the future some time? In a sense, that's what the wii u and past generations were stoked for in gaming in general, to move in an "immersive way". I suppose arcades from the 90s and whatnot too had gyroscope technologies in those guns at the machines and the tilt bikes.
Perhaps with the surge of handhelds now, gyro may become an essential option in the game settings the same way as inverted controls are for gamepads.
I still don'√ quite understand how to utilize gyro though. Like, i can't decide how to use them, do i look around with the the sticks or with the gyro and all that jazz.
The Wii actually didn’t have gyro controls out of the box. It’s similar in that you use movement to interact with the game, but it uses infrared to determine the position of the Wii remote (I believe most arcade shooters did something similar). That meant that without the sensor bar in front of the TV the Wii mote can’t do motion controls, and they only work as long as the sensor bar can see the controller.
The Wii seems to have created a lot of stigma around gyro, as well as Sony’s poor software implementation and support for most their own gyro supported games since the PS3 days. (Somewhat ironically Nintendo also has one of the best implementations of gyro in the biz with Splatoon on the Switch) Because of this a lot of people think it’s a gimmick that requires you to fling your arms around the whole time. It’s a real shame, be because it could really solve the AA debate. It’s also clear that veteran controller players really don’t like a big change like gyro. They will defend AA to the death I think 😂
@@VinnyUnion regarding your issue getting used to gyro. In my experience the best way to use gyro if you’re experienced with thumb sticks is to have the gyro always on, but at a very low sensitivity. That way you play the way you’re used to, but you now also have the gyro to help you make those small adjustments that are almost impossible on joystick, by faintly turning you controller left or right during shootouts. (You should see the gyro for turning like a steering wheel)
I started with gyro like this in CS:GO. I still did all the looking around and aiming with RS, but since the game has no AA the gyro was perfect for making those small adjustments to hit headshots. Over time I slowly started increasing my gyro sensitivity, simply because I became better and better with it. Nowadays RS has more of a support role when it comes to my aiming. I use the gyro for doing almost all aiming, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be a goal of yours. Just like mouse and keyboard, everyone has their own preferences.
JibbSmart, the guy who arguably popularised gyro on PC, has a really active discord sever with a very friendly community. Might be a good place to start. :)
@@zerocore_ That makes sense. Thanks! For reference, i've traded my PC for the Deck a couple months ago (since, frankly, i haven't been using a pc rather long while). In terms of shooters, i've really just played CSS 1.6, BF3/MW2 on the PS3 & Blops 2. The thing is i haven't had the "surge" to get at expert-level on any platform by switching off casually. So, yeah - it is still somewhat in a phase of getting used to gamepad controls i suppose. But frankly, i've played RUST the most at the moment and it was mostly just building bases, lol
Aaaanywayyy, been rambling off-topic a bit. Yes, the keyword was "*infrared*" :p oop-
That advice is pretty genius, really. I used to have a gaming mice that had a, uh, "precision" button which reminds me of your advice with the lesser sensitivity gyro. Suits me very well tbh since i snipe on Battlefield anyway. But Apex or Call of Duty ... Oh good gracious, hell no. I'd get pwned at every turn - _for sure._
In terms of CoD, i haven't played past Ghosts honestly (since call of duty is usually a benchmark for shooters.) which btw a helluva underappreciated CoD - that Eminem soundtrack slaps + the extinxtion (zombie) mode was differently this time around. Speaking of Ghosts, i've preordered only two games; Ghosts and ... *and what?* → _Cyberpunk 2077._
Hey, they might were mistakes subjectively but i think they were overall decent though? Hello? Ghosts was defo innovating with that glorified fish engine
Great video. I have a question regarding triggers. This recently happened to me as of the beginning of the week. Was using my Xbox controller to play titanfall2 northstar and I guess because of an update, it stopped working and I’ve been remapping my controller since. One of the issues I’m having is when I press the left rigger and release it, the aim sight is still active instead or reverting to hip fire mode. Would you happen to know how to resolve it? Thx
You’re so awesome, thank you
Thanks for the Idea for gyro, my Brand new Oled Gyro has sadly sometimes failures. I did. the calabration, still from time to time ne reaction on my movement. All the best für you 🙏🏻
Been practicing flick stick gyro (no aim assist) on Doom, how do you reckon it’ll match up against joystick gyro (which does get aim assist) when it comes to Apex?
I think you could fair really well. You could opt to make the RS sense in-game much higher for fast FS-like turning, and adjust the gyro output scale in steam input as needed.
Try using a Kontrol Freek stick extension on the right stick.
I can’t even get the joysticks to move to work the game, I can only use touch screen and it’s showing me keyboard buttons, I’ve tried to change the layout 1000x and not even close to being playable
But how did you capture it. I saw no capture card!
I play on ps5 but I want to buy a steam deck just bc I want to have a hand held for when I don’t feel like playing on the ps5. Do you think the deck is worth it for just apex???
That’s a really tricky question. If it’s JUST for Apex, I would say no, simply because the Deck has so much more to offer (it’s an amazing emulation machine.)
With my tweaks the game runs quite ok, but my hope is a Steam Deck 2 a few years from now, with a faster display and better performance will really make this game shine on a handheld.
Why did you opt to use the gyro as joystick instead of gyro to mouse?
edit: Is there a rule of thumb when setting up gyro for all game so that it feels the same across the board?
I opted for gyro as joystick because of Apex’s extreme visual clutter. on such a small screen with limited performance you really need that aim assist.
if you take the Finals for example, visibility is so much better that it’s much nicer to play with gyro-to-mouse.
Rule of thumb with the new gyro-to-mouse (BETA) feature is to find the sensitivity value that makes 1 turn IRL match 1 turn in-game. Then multiply to your preference.
Thanks for much for replying!! This is really helpful one more thing…
I’ve noticed that there is two options when choosing gyro to joystick (camera and deflection) have you tried out both of these?
When should I be using one over the other?
Edit: I am trying to apply gyro but when ever I try to use it with the track pad I get a lot of jitters/stutters is there something that is obvious that I’m missing to do?
Edit#2: I fixed the issue by using only 1 type of input into the game. I assume I’ll lose out on the aim assist if I choose KB/M and you’re right for such a small screen every bit of help is great any advice on how to fix this ?
Sorry for all the questions new to the gyro world
@@Goper2 in this video I use the old method of gyro as joystick. im not familiar enough yet with the new BETA implementation, but you can join the Gyro Gaming discord for help: discord.gg/rA5qWq7MnV
Keep in mind that gyro-as-joystick is typically much more difficult to setup because in-game joystick sensitivity and settings vary wildly between games. No matter how much you tweak it, you will never get the same sense of control and responsiveness that you get with gyro-to-mouse.
Ya I tried your launch code in docked & desktop mode and it didn’t run too good for me
I get an anti cheat issue using this, does it still work for the new season?
would i enter the number 92 if i wanted to do this for the new OLED steamdeck?
You get 80-92 fps but if you lock gpu at 1600 you get 60-80 lol
Best settings of Steam Deck is docked?
the right trackpad sensitivity in apex game not good now in my steam deck , before there was a control bar but now nothing :(
any one can help me ? 9:35
How would you compare this setup to using gyro+touchpad to control aim?
my main issue with Touchpad vs RS is that TP has a limited range of movement, so you have to re-arrange you thumb on the pad every now and then. gyro also has this limitation, but it’s very fast and more precise than TP. The reason I run RS + gyro is because I can create inaccurate, but continuous movement with RS, and use gyro for limited, but very precise and fast movement. best of both worlds. :)
Thanks for response 🫡I will try both
I'm not able to find your community layout, isn't showing up for me even when i seaech for it, using the same name as your layouts.
Let me check. It can help to restart your deck also, but sometimes my layouts don’t show up the first time. I’ll update you
I just uploaded a new version (v8) to the community page. If you still can't see it, i provided a workaround in the description of this video.
@@zerocore_I wonder if it also depends on the version of steam you're using. either beta or stable builds.
@@tekgeekster I don’t believe it makes a difference for steam input, but I’m running the stable brance fyi
@@zerocore_ Unfortunately it still doesn't show up, even after restarting my deck :/
Just did your workaround and that works!
Also, just to let you know, you've accidently put max FPS 61 instead of 62 in the copy and paste launch option.
What is the max fps?
I can't find. Your controller layout pls help
Why yours runs worse than mine? It's lock 60 fps on my stwam deck.
can u do all this in the new steam deck oled
yes there should be no difference
Wow! I think you said something which might be genius. Did you say that you have set tap strafe on hold-jump? Can you make a video on how to set that? For some reason most players set tap strafe to hold-left-stick-click, which for me is not so natural as you might want to use that for some other action.
Update: Putting it on the jump button does not allow you to climb walls.
I've been using his config for over a month, its on back buttons, its very convenient and natural to use, you can switch it to L/R4 if you have shorter fingers, or set it on any buttons you want.
Could you please update for oled steam deck? 😭🙏🏽 either way thank you for this one!
These settings should already be compatible with the OLED Steam Deck.
How’d you setup the gyro settings
You should be able to find my layout on the Steam Community page.
If it's not visible, you can follow the steps I left in the description.
Alternatively you can also setup the gyro in Steam manually:
Gyro: As Joystick
VSS: 100
CRC: 200
ESMP: 1
Rotation: 0
MT: 0
MJXOV: 1
MJYOV: 1
GOS: 150
These settings require NO deadzone and Linear Response curve in the game settings.
These gyro settings of course do not include Tap Strafing.
Thank you I was just looking for a baseline gyro setting to follow
Can you kindly name your community layout as zerocore so it would be easier to search?
Mine wont launch 😢
Come on man you didnt even show your gyro settings
Is it same on the oled
yes, should be the same
My gyro is inverted why?
not sure why, but you can toggle the vertical and/or horizontal gyro settings in Steam Input to fix this
Uuuuuuugh. Noooooo. Don't use stick gyro. 😓
But those tap strafing tips might be handy.
I know it blasphemous, but you really need it if you’re going to stand a chance again PC players on Steam Deck
Agreed, I hate stick gyro but apex really does not like duel inputs, so you have to otherwise you deal with small jitters every time you move 😢
zero cores given
First
Helps my aim and gameplay by a lot, thankss 🫡
