37k.
I did about a dozen or so runs, and they were painful. I was CONSTANTLY rotating the controller and being frustrated that the cursor wasnt moving, because I'm so acclimated to gyro at this point. Gyro is simply an exceptionally natural way to aim.
Not nearly as good as gyro, but this was just for the heck of it.
Also to demonstrate that the "thumb mouse" idea floating around thanks to Tech Yesterday has a critical flaw; the users thumb. It shares that weakness with the Steam Controllers Track Pads, so technically better specs will only take it so far. Tech Yesterday got 36k with his thumb mouse, though does claim to not be a very good gamer. I have no reason to disbelieve him there.
I do think the thumb mouse has a higher ceiling than what Tech Yesterday demonstrated, and indeed probably higher than the track pads... but higher than gyro? No way.
I will gladly endeavour to match whatever aim lab score Tech Yesterday posts with his thumb mouse, but from this point forward I'll be taking off the kid gloves and using gyro.
