Following this tutorial, I tried gyro aiming on my Dualsense controller, which has analog triggers and gyroscopic motion controls. I set gyro to act as mouse, activated by a right trigger soft pull. If you use Steam with a controller I highly recommend this; it gives you almost as much control as a mouse and keyboard! Along with a few other custom rebinds, this gives me a console-ish experience on Minecraft Java :)
My main reason for wanting gyro in Xbox controllers is that I believe that Windows would then also implement support for it in Xinput. That way it would become a de facto default controller feature and developers would have a reason to directly implement it in their games. Then we wouldn’t be dependend on Steam Input to use it at all.
Yup, that’d be fantastic! We also probably wouldn’t have to choose between gyro and analog triggers when it comes to third party controllers and their usual Switch Pro Controller/xinput modes if that became a thing.

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
