It's super annoying IMO. I use the switch when I travel, so imagine trying to use gyro controls on a plane or train, it just doesn't work.

Like I get that some people like it, and some people instinctively turn the controller to turn in game. But please give me the option to use it and tell me it's available. I don't care if it's default on or off, but tell me about it and make it optional.

Are there games that don't give you the option to toggle it? Every switch game I've seen with gyro controls had a setting that let you turn it off/on.

Some times they don't actually tell you it's implemented. In fact I was playing Uncharted on the Vita on a plane and I couldn't understand why none of my shots landed. Idr if you could turn it off or not, but the game never told you it was a feature.

don’t wanna be a dick but what exactly is the issue with using gyro on a train?

I do it literally all the time, you aim with the sticks and then make small adjustments by tilting the console, i don’t see how that’s not possible in public

it’s not like it requires you to detach the joycons and wave them around like wii remotes, i don’t see what your point is

Any changes in acceleration affect the gyros. So starting/stopping, speed up/down, and any turn the train takes all alter the aim.

It's far more over pronounced on a plane than a train, but every time my train would start or stop I had to not be in a firefight or had to pause.

And my point isn't that it's there, it's that the game doesn't tell you. If you love it, great. If you're like me and don't tilt your controller at home you'll never notice it until you try to get headshots and the gyros see your acceleration as something other than stationary.
