Valve Releases 2 Steam Controller Guides on Grip Sense and Gyro

Summary
Valve added two new Steam Controller help guides focused on Grip Sense and gyro controls, expanding a how-to series it began in May.
Grip Sense uses two capacitive rear sensors to let players quickly disable gyro, recenter the controller, and resume aiming — a process Valve compares to lifting and resetting a mouse.
The guide also says users can tune Grip Sense sensitivity or remap it for actions such as weapon wheels, maps, and menus instead of using it only for gyro ratcheting.
Valve’s gyro guide argues the feature has a high skill ceiling and can approach mouse-like aiming, while warning setup often needs game-by-game adjustment and more detailed guidance is still coming.
