DualSense · DualShock 4 · Steam Controller

Aim your Mac cursor
by tilting the controller.

The gyroscope in your controller becomes a precision pointer. An adaptive filter erases hand tremor when you are steady, then lets fast flicks through—so you can hit a 10-pixel close button and still whip across the screen.

Why it feels right

Steady when you are, quick when you flick.

The hard part of motion aiming is hand shake. ControllerKeys runs an adaptive one-euro filter that reads your speed and decides how much to smooth—so the pointer sits still on a target yet never feels sluggish.

01

Steady at rest

When you are barely moving, the filter smooths hard and hand tremor disappears. The cursor parks on small targets.

  • Tremor Filtered out
  • Target Stays put
  • Result 10-pixel accuracy
02

Fast flicks pass

Move quickly and the filter eases off, so a fast flick lands right away with no lag or rubber-banding.

  • Flick Full speed
  • Lag None added
  • Reach Across the screen
03

Aim on demand

Run gyro in Focus Mode so it only aims while you hold a button, and use tilt-and-steer gestures to fire actions.

  • Hold Aim only when held
  • Cooldown Per-profile
  • Tilt Gesture triggers
Accessibility & RSI

Aim from your lap, rest your wrists.

Motion aiming asks less of your hands than a mouse or stick. Hold the controller loosely, tilt to point, and let the tremor smoothing carry the accuracy—no gripping, dragging, or repetitive wrist motion across a desk.

  • No mouse to drag or grip
  • Tremor smoothing helps shaky hands land small targets
  • Pair with a stick mouse or touchpad and switch freely

Quick answers

Before you tilt.

Which controllers have a gyro?

The DualSense, DualShock 4, and Steam Controller all expose a gyroscope ControllerKeys reads for aiming and gestures.

Won't it be shaky?

No. An adaptive one-euro filter smooths hard at rest to kill tremor, then eases off for fast flicks—steady and responsive at once.

Is it good for RSI?

Many people find tilting easier on the hands than a mouse, and the smoothing helps land small targets without a steady grip.

Can I toggle it?

Yes. Use Focus Mode so gyro only aims while you hold a button, with per-profile sensitivity and cooldown.
