Can you map gyroscope in controllers?

What feature would you like?

A big, annoying point of GFN is that, for some totally unclear reason, they refuse to support gyroscopic controllers.

I tried to develop my own controller wrapper to enable on macOS, but apparently it needs to be done internally by the app managing the game; macOS won't allow overriding the controller inputs, adding the gyroscope, and wrapping them into a virtual controller that would work with whichever game engine. This can be only done in the app receiving the inputs.

I had no idea GFN could be wrapped, so your app maybe is the right place to implement this!

Try GFN as a non-steam app, then set up Steam Input for gyro. GFN will still register your regular inputs, however. But, with a controller that's not natively supported by MacOS, like the Apex 5, you can just do controller WASD and that'll work.

No, that is a terrible UX because GFN sees the gyro as keyboard input, and this makes it switch back and forth between controller and keyboard mode, messing up controls. Also, the steam app is very heavy and makes GFN hang often.
My understanding is that if the mapping is done from inside a GFN client then we would have more control and a smoother experience.

I will look into gyro support today.

Hi! Any success?

Working on this.
