Gyro Aiming + M&K support on consoles and crossplatform play

If you have never tried gyro aiming in a shooter I highly encourage you to give it a shot if you're able to; Cause it’s a game changer! Just as a quick explanation gyro aiming involves very subtle movements of your controller to allow for very fine aiming, large movements can allow for big camera flicks; The aiming style feels similar to a mouse but it's frictionless. You can enable it in destiny on pc using steams built in features. To do so however you are forced to have your controller emulate mouse and keyboard, binding each of your pc inputs to your desired button (destiny in particular can be a hassle for making this work well). This does come with its fair share of oddities and issues though; Like not being able to seamlessly use the same buttons for operating menus as with a regular controller setup (there are some solutions you can use here but I found them to be more trouble than they're worth due to leading to circumstances in which I could not control my character). The benefits to gyro aiming are huge though. I completely switched off of M&K in favor of my switch pro controller (and now dualsense) with gyro aiming. Once you tune it well and get used to it (and it does have a somewhat of a steep learning curve), You’ll find that it's just as competitive as M&K. But don’t take my word for it, try it out, or watch some videos on it. It’s a heavily supported feature in Nintendo switch games for a reason. Anyone who has tried it out will recognize that it's vastly superior and more comfortable than traditional twin stick aiming. It may even possible that highly practiced and optimized gyro users could outcompete equivalent mouse and keyboard users. Enabling gyro aiming would completely turn off stick friction aim assist and use M&K weapon recoil (gyro aiming could currently only be implemented on ps4, ps5, and pc (I genuinely feel bad for xbox fans)). In combination with the introduction of gyro aiming and M&K support on consoles. I think full cross play between all consoles and pc would be a feature many long time destiny fans agree would be a dream come true! If this all was implemented then I think there should be a setting to enable Input based matchmaking for crucible. Players using gyro aiming would be put into M&K matchmaking. Stick users who join fireteams with M&K/Gyro users would then be automatically matchmaking in M&K lobbies. https://youtu.be/binPB4YbWmM | https://youtu.be/5dsL1wgu2e8
