Aircraft Y; a gyrocopter in the pattern at ZZZ utilized lower altitude to take advantage of right of way rules cutting off 2 aircraft in the pattern. Aircraft Y made a crosswind call in front of other traffic on the departure leg. During final approach in the pattern Aircraft Y laterally displaced themself right of the centerline; and proceeded back across the centerline in front of my aircraft causing a near mid air collision.
