0Tweaking the free / manual / zoomed / down-sights / L1 / LB / whatever you call it aiming speed of the bow--longbow in this case--for a game controller--in Elden Ring from Steam, on PC!

Coming from FromSoftware's earlier Souls games, the way the camera moves faster while free-aiming the bow with L1--aka LB, but I'm on a DualSense so ; )--in Elden Ring was really throwing me. Fortunately, since I'm playing the Steam version of the game, it was easy to tweak the aiming speed using Steam Input:
go to the Steam Library page for Elden Ring
click the little controller icon in the upper-ish right side of the library page
click the "Edit Layout" button in the Steam Input window that appears
click "Joysticks"
click the drop-down menu for "RIGHT JOYSTICK BEHAVIOR" and select "Create a Mode Shift"
click the Gear icon for the newly-appeared "RIGHT JOYSTICK (MODE SHIFT)"
click "Select Mode Shift Button(s)" and choose L1 (LB), then click off to the side of that selection window to accept and close the selection window
move the "Horizontal Scale" and "Vertical Scale" sliders until the aiming speed feels good
Somewhere around 64 for both is feeling like a decent starting spot for me. (5/21/25: lowered to 63. ^ _^)
It may cause funky feeling when using L1/LB for something else in the game, such as Guarding. (I don't Guard because I'm a neanderthal. ^ _^)
If you ever want to remove the Mode Shift, set its drop-down menu to "None"--this will deactivate it, but the settings you made in it will be restored--at least they were for me on the same computer after a few minutes ^ _^--if you bring it back later by choosing "Create a Mode Shift" from the "RIGHT JOYSTICK BEHAVIOR" drop-down again.
