Sleepy Weeby's Notes

Set all 3 mouse sensitivities to their lowest value since they have no number value and set IN_GAME_SENS to 1(the config has it set to 1 by default so no worries forgetting). Setting it to the lowest makes the aiming and mouse movement much more fluid and pleasant. The overall goal was to have gyro controls with the same layout as Xinput on Dualshock4. However to accomplish this you'll need to rebind quite a number of keys since some actions, such as repairing a gun, cannot be rebound. This is a nearly 1 to 1 reinterpretation of the game-pad controls to gyro only oddities are the zoom functions for the map are on the triggers, and conversations can't be navigated with D-pad so you need to point the mouse cursor over replies. So to make the game feel normal, we need to rebind around the actions that cannot be rebound to avoid clashing in control inputs, yes it's a pain. Go into the settings and Change the Following:
Note - The "O" keys to be used must be unbound from their original shortcut role

How to Use this Config

Using JoyShockMapper configurations is easy once you know how. If you haven't used it before, check out the guide. For using a community config like this one, you only need to get through the first two sections — Installing JSM and Using an already-made configuration file.

Just copy the above configuration into a text file, change the IN_GAME_SENS to match your in-game settings, and then drag that file into JoyShockMapper and hit Enter to use it right away. Some games have their own limitations with certain controllers or require some extra setup, so make sure to check for any notes near top of the main State of Decay 2 page.
