Used with Steam Input PC gyro-to-mouse bindings, documented separately in the Gamepad Emulation guide. Host software configuration is required. No controller-native mouse protocol or PS5 desktop mouse feature claimed.22Maker product pagepartner.steamgames.com/doc/features/steam_controller/steam_input_gamepad_emulation_bestpracticesRead 7 October 2026Current Valve guide expressly permits PlayStation gyro inputs bound to mouse emulation. Steam Input on PC must be enabled and the gyro mouse binding configured. Gamepad Emulation route is for one local player and requires the game to accept simultaneous mouse and gamepad input. Exact DualSense gyro support is established by Valve Input Sources and original PS5 support announcement. This is a host implementation, not onboard controller tuning.
