Gyro capable controller?

I suppose this doesn't pertain to a game specifically, but I've been searching for a few days for a gyro capable controller for PC - I've been replaying Breath of the Wild via emulator (yay 4K + better textures and shadows) but find it somewhat annoying to need to pick up my phone and start a MotionSource server every time I need to complete a motion-only puzzle.

I first picked up a cheap Chinese Wii U Pro controller look-alike, which claimed to have gyros and bluetooth, but found that it will only pair with an Android phone over BT (not iOS, OSX or PC), would only work with a PC over a USB-C cable, and only supports motion when connected to my real Wii U. So, that's out. Nice controller for the price though.

A quick search reveals that the DualShock4 controller has a gyro, but that there are no official PC drivers and you need to leave Steam running in the background all the time. There's the Steam controller, but it only has a single joystick and I really need dual + a D-Pad. Microsoft and Logitech don't seem to have a controller with Motion.

Anyone know of any others?

How gyro support was added to the new Steam Controller is a 'typical Valve story' involving a passionate employee moving desks​

One Valve employee essentially made it happen


The entire Steam Controller becomes an input with gyro controls, similar to Nintendo's Joy-Cons. I'm told there are many ways to use gyro controls on PC—Cardinali notes that Steam Input lets you map the gyro to whatever you like—and I'm offered to test the Steam Controller's capabilities in a game of Balatro. I'm tilting and aiming the controller to move the mouse cursor here. It's pretty accurate, more so than thumbsticks, and as I said to Cardinali at the time, you get used to it pretty quickly.
