I use Steam Controller as a KBM replacement for high-precision/twitchy first-person shooters. The rear grips allow me to access critical functions like lean or crouch without taking my thumb off the trackpad. I use the left joystick for movement and the left trackpad as a virtual menu. The trackpad is my “aim assist” while the gyro performs the actual aiming. This style of aiming is very effective, but requires about three days of using it exclusively to get accustomed to it. Soon, it becomes second nature and your hands naturally move into the right position to line up headshots much faster than a traditional twin stick layout.
For third-person games, twin sticks feel better, but I use the DualSense controller so that I still have access to gyro for fine-tuned aiming.
