    Switch version (3D all stars) uses gyroscopic controls. No IR/light bar and such .

      Gotcha. It still might not be the best sample set for getting a feel for what the controls have to offer, if you have the means to give it a try in other games. I think it’s better at aiming/shooting than the right analog stick has ever been.

        I guess I’m just not really looking for a competitive edge and don’t really feel like moving my wrists and hands around that much. Part of what I like about controllers is that it’s very easy on my wrists. But I totally get why people want that!

          Not even a competitive edge, as I don’t really play multiplayer shooters anymore. It just feels more intuitive (though some additional bothersome setup is often required to tune it right). You can also move it via your elbows rather than wrists. But in any case, gyro would be nice to have in Xbox controllers. I found playing something like Returnal on an analog stick to be a huge pain, and it’s great when you can get that extra oomph out of your input device.

            I also have shoulder issues 😅

            Anyway I feel you. I know a lot of people like to have that as an option
