Steam Deck FPS GUIDE: recoil assist, trackpad gyro aim, hotkey custom layout | Insurgency: Sandstrom

Video is divided in 3 parts: Functionality demo & showcase, gameplay, layout explanation & how to actually set & customize it. Feel free to skip to the part you are interested in the most!
Layout title: “GanJJ Insurgency Sandstorm v9 gyro,recoil assist, LPad keypad”
Layout description: “Hold LT for recoil assist…”
Layout link: steam://controllerconfig/581320/3023140447

If you can’t find this layout in Community Layout tab, here’s how you look for and apply it:
1. Go to “Desktop Mode” using Steam Deck
2. Open Chrome (or another browser)
3. Make sure Steam is running already
4. Paste the custom layout link in the browser URL bar, make sure it’s not “search in Google: ***”, but is an actual “steam://controllerconfig/581320/3023140447”.
5. The pop-up window will appear, something like: “do you want to open this xda app?” Meaning, do you want browser let open the Steam?
6. press “ok” or “yes”
7. Steam will pop up with this custom layout window opened.
8. Click “Apply”

How to perfectly customize and tune Steam Deck controls to your liking for “more realistic” FPS titles:
– Optional recoil assist (2 modes with it ON, 2 modes with it OFF, at any moment!) RT “Full Pull” while aiming down sights with LT (-15px every 10ms, tune it to your liking)
– LPad for custom Weapons (and other hotkeys) menu to reach anything you might need with a single click.
– Trackpad + flexible gyro (vertical sensitivity 150% while aiming down the scope for further recoil control)
– Leaning Q&E, fire selector, scope toggle and more…

Insurgency: Sandstorm on a Steam Deck is a blast; feels like Ready or Not without hostages but with RPGs and guntrucks 🙂
