Gyro Aiming
Gyro aiming uses the device’s motion sensor for fine aim: you point roughly with the stick and refine by tilting the device, closing much of the precision gap between a controller and a mouse. Steam Deck and many Android handhelds support it, and shooter players who learn it rarely go back. It is an underrated spec — a handheld with gyro is meaningfully more capable in aim-heavy games than one without, and it costs nothing extra to use once configured.
