The 8bitdo Ultimate 2 is pretty close to an XBox controller and it has a gyro. The problem is that while the gyro works great on Switch, it's severely limited on PC, as it can only emulate the right stick with very few settings. The Steam Input update could potentially fix that, but I haven't tested it yet.
The gyro works perfectly fine with this update
Good to hear. Tried running the update when the news about it came out, but it seemingly wasn't available yet. Will try later today then.
