How do I stabilize the controller so its not so shaky with every tiny hand movement? The motion controller is set up to be a space ship and the front of the ship has an aiming reticle attached to it. Every little hand movement is as shaky as my real hand. What do I add to my Player Character blueprint to stabilize my hand? I have my motion controller setup in my components.

Nevermind. Got it. Found that attaching a SpringArm to the Motion Controller and then attaching the components inside to the SpringArm worked. Thought it was only for cameras but it can work for other things.

Excellent fix dude you just saved me hours of trying to figure this out myself. Also if you make the spring arm lag a variable You could probably simulate different inertia on different things
