Controller Gyro Not Working

A controller can have a motion sensor without exposing gyro in the current host mode or game.

Likely cause

The controller mode, input layer, game mapping, or adapter may omit motion data.

Diagnosis and next steps

1. Confirm the exact model lists a gyro or motion sensor.
2. Check the host mode and Steam Input or game motion-control setting.
3. If an adapter is used, read its feature exclusions before assuming a sensor fault.

If the issue persists

Record the exact model label, host or console version, game version, and connection mode. Compare the linked maker instructions. You can report an outdated result with an official source URL.
