I have a wired pro controller that doesn't have a gyro sensor and can do motion glider much more easily. However, being a more competitive player, I find soft drifting much more difficult. I find holding the stick at a 45-degree angle when drifting causes you to turn much tighter due to the doubled handling on the ground. In order to charge mini turbos quicker and play better on the ground, it's definitely better to still only use motion controls in the air. Edit: Now when playing online, I was able to find a clawing technique that allows me to use it anytime without having to switch my whole right hand to the other side during a glider.

From what I've experienced, having motion controls without the gyro sensor is actually better for drifts also. I noticed that doing normal left and right inputs more softly (no angles) is actually just as effective at charging MTs as hard inputs and softdrifting, my best guess is because of this 6:50. It also feels more consistent to drift this way than softdrfting because you won't have to worry about getting the proper angles all the time. I call it "fine-drifting"

The octagonal gate around the GameCube controller's joystick makes it extremely difficult to soft-drift, since the 45 degree notch is just outside the soft-drift range, and you're naturally inclined to go at that angle due to the notches. Other than that, it personally just feels clunky on Deluxe
