Controller configuration (Steam)

Hi, i hope I can get more tips and tricks on how to optimize playing on a controller.

first of all, I tried to configure some things on my own:

I am using a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and enabled Gyro controls as an alternate looking around/aiming. I have it permanently on and it’s pretty useful i would say.

I have also mapped one of the unused keys as a hold RB/M1, which just needs to be clicked again to let go.


now to the things I struggle with and need help: there is a reaction curve for the analogue sticks. Meaning if you tap the left stick just a little bit you can tiptap. Which is kind of cute tbh.

but this also means, to reach maximum speed you need to reach the furthest end with the stick. I noticed that this makes it harder to dodge hits as survivor because you can’t dodge left/right or fake one direction and then the other because you always kind of have to go to the middle meaning no side movement at all. The same for acceleration for both Killer and survivor movement.

i tried playing with deadzone settings and adjusting reactioncurve of the left stick, with just minor effectiveness: setting the reactioncurve to ‚stronger‘ helps a little bit. But too strong and the stick pretty much moves when not touched at all.


Now the best option would be to not have a reactioncurve at all, just movement yes or no, just like how movement on keyboard works. Is that possible to configure? Which settings/configurations do you all use?
