- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- Today we are connecting the Valve Index controllers, also known as knuckles to the Oculus Quest 2, this also works with the Oculus Quest 1. We will be doing this completely wirelessly through Virtual Desktop. Yes, you do need a VR Ready PC for this because the Knuckles will only communicate with SteamVR. So today I will take you through the tutorial and run a few short tests, then tell you what I think. I hope you enjoy the video :D

![VR "Must-Haves" you NEED! [VRChat]](/img/n.gif)
A heads-up to anyone planning to use this set-up: you will need to recalibrate anytime you reconnect using Oculus Link or even if you put the headset to sleep. EDIT: You can keep the calibration ONLY IF you use Virtual Desktop and select ‘center to playspace (staged tracking)’ in VD settings. It won't work this way with Air Link
Eek, that's a pretty big limitation. Feels like having to redo the chaperone over and over. Fortunately, I only use the knuckles for a handful of games anyway.
@@JonDotExe So I found IF (and only if) you use Virtual desktop with ‘center to playspace (staged tracking)’ selected in VD settings, then you can use it without recalibrations. But yeah, if not using it that way, it's a bit inconvenient
@@TappingTV can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell
Hi there there is actually a different solution to this that I have found out if you disable your gaurdian boundary things that you connect to steam vr like the knuckles and vive trackers will not drift and make you have to recalibrate them
@@justtim4307 you don’t have to take batteries out of your controllers just set them down somewhere and restart steam vr
We're simple. We see Beat Saber and we tune in.
hello there htc vive
Jelo htc
uh, can I get a free vive? I'll stream beatsaber for you
@@dalttroxplays4991 they didnt even give thrillseeker one what are you hoping xD
@@Skikopl can't a man dream!? xD
You put on some amazing unique content for the quest 2. You are definitely separating your channel from the Quest2 channels herd. And that is why your channel is growing very fast. Keep up the great work, cheers!

Great guide and great that you already included the troubleshooting for common issues people might encounter. Now I just hope it will just work as well with the upcoming DecaGear since I wanna keep the lighthouse tracking of the controllers all around me instead of the limited tracking area of the inside out tracking (got some Knuckles already for my old Vive). As far as I understand the dongles of the Tundra Trackers should work for the Knuckles as well so I can get both the full body tracking and the controllers with just 1 dongle
this comment is crazy because the decagear was canceled 2 years ago
Me realizing that you could just buy the index for the prize of a quest 2, index controllers and 2 base stations
yes, but the index has a wire, and it's not going wireless any time soon
@@OpreanMircea but it has so much better, im gonna get the next index cause i have a quest 2 rn. Im jut gonna wait till valves next headset.
@@justpancakes6019 can I ask what about the quest 2 is disappointing you? I'm torn between buying one or waiting to see what other headsets are coming
@@OpreanMircea I can tell you that the only bad thing about it is the stock strap perhaps. I honestly think that it's a matter of preference. I like my quest 2 very much as stand-alone & for PC-VR my only gripe is the microphone when using Virtual desktop (I use bluetooth headphones connected to the pc). Outside of this it works well for me. My other only suggestion is to go for the 256gb model & not the 64gb. Cheers
@@OpreanMircea buy one! get a deluxe audio strap and mammut grips. Also an Anker Powerline 10000mah powerbank is a must. Im using virtual desktop at 120fps and its wonderful. Get a 64gb one. Make sure you have a good gaming PC. Make sure you have a wifi router in the same room you're playing VR in. Make sure your router is connected to your PC with an ethernet cable.
Yay finally after the days of waiting it’s out
Update. My quest 2 will be here Friday and now I am perfectly happy I got it! I got it in hopes after I saw your videos about connecting the Knuckles, and that was my selling point! You are the man!!!
$800+ later. You can use your knuckles, but your quest is still uncomfortable. vr cover = $30 das = $100 das adapters = $25 amvr battery holder = $25. Are you sure you're ready?
can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell
i've been waiting a year for this to actually work. good job. quite annoyed about the base stations, i didn't do PC vr because i didn't want wires running everywhere
can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell
YES I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THIS, EDIT: crap u need basestations aswell im kinda stupid and overlooked this
I feel you
Yeah, worse part is base stations are expensive af for no reason. I might buy some to use with my quest simply because I want full body tracking, and if I buy a steam vr headset like I want to in the future, I will just end up with four base stations and have better tracking.
@@thespyderdude especially for the loud YEERRRRRRRR noise they make
@@lemmmakestunes8312 yeah
@@v_Magica i’m confused how did you dumbasses think it was going to be tracked? The LED systems you need to track the controllers for the quest rely on a completely different operating system why did you think there would be compatibility? Thank you for your time I’m going to go to a different comment section to shame someone else for their stupidity
I literally just searched this up today and didn't find anything and now you saved me
BROOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO EVER SINCE I GOT MY FIRST QUEST!!!!, It’s like when I first got it and found out that I can use my PC for it I wanted to see if I can buy index controllers for finger tracking. But couldn’t find any helpful TH-cam videos on how to do it or people say it isn’t compatible. Thanks Mysticle😁
sus
@@ex0rion408 what?
I got the index controller just recently and was curious if I could use it with my Quest 2, then I saw your video. Awesome!!!! Just ordered the VR dongles. Thank you!
You need the valve base stations too for tracking the index controller on quest
How long do they take to deliver?
Finally!!! Been looking forward to this one. Great vid as always.
thank you for this great walk through i just bought my knuckles for the quest2 this video is great!!!
thank you for making this video I wanted the feeling of a Vive then you made this and it helped thank you
Hi! Question. If you are using full body tracking with the quest 2 with the vive trackers, you have to use the same calibration technique for the trackers as you do with the controllers. Now if I pair the index controllers, when i have to calibrate the trackers do i do it with the touch controllers or the index ones? And if I have to do it with the touch ones will it still be simple to just switch back to the index ones?
can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell
After the index controllers are pairs is it possible to navigate in virtual desktop with these ? Every time I go back to virtual desktop out of game to navigate on my desktop the index controllers turn off because steam vr is on or off doesn’t matter I have to use quest controllers.
Can I keep both quest controllers active while I’m using index controllers in vrchat or any other game? Or do I need to pop out the battery and pop back in when I need to interact with virtual desktop like change a song on Spotify
good to see captions are back
Bro I've been watching you since I bought my quest 2 and I didn't know you were from Ireland... nice to know.. keep doing videos for us
2:46 How did you disconnect your controllers from SteamVR? I have them unpaired and the batteries taken out but SteamVR still treats them as the main controllers and any controller I connect after that acts as a full body tracker. I have been googling and looking on youtube for ages but I cannot find the answer to this.
Edit: 3:55 is the answer
gonna hold me over while im waiting on an RMA for steam, anything with the quest is such a pain in the ass, i gotta do the space calibrator with the trackers too, good work on the guide!
That should be the next DIY community project. DIY base stations. ;)
sus
idk if that will be possible beacuse of the fact of the way basestations work
you could but it would be quite difficult to do optics and spinny bit wise
Pretty big thing to not mention at the start of video, I had no idea you need base stations
@@stanleyhoptroff Tell that to OG 3D printers...
I'm watching this a second time because my base stations finally came in. I swear that Danny DeVito scares me every time you start the demonstration!
What microphone and black square thing are on your headset at 0:53? I'm using a wired lavalier because all the movo wireless one's I tried sucked a lot, especially for real time monitoring.
How do you disconnect the touch controllers, I've been removing the batteries which is kinda a pain. Was not sure if there was a better way to do it.
you put them on a table pretty far away from your play area or a table upside down and they might go away
Thank god UPS finally found your house, I've been so excited for this video
Have you gotten room scale set up when using the Quest 2 with index controllers? If so, how?
I'm not able to get room scale games working with this. e.g. Trover Saves the Universe won't load unless you have room scale configured, and I can't seem to do that.
When I first switched to Quest 2 wireless, my room scale was already set up from my previous HTC hardware. But recently I reformatted, and now I can't seem to set up room scale without a headset that uses the lighthouse trackers.
If I try to set up room scale while using the Quest 2 with the Index Controllers, it claims there is no headset and won't proceed. If I use "Quick Calibrate" under the SteamVR -> Developer -> Room and Tracking settings, I end up in the floor. I tried fixing it with Playspace Mover, but when I load a game like Trover Saves the Universe, my perspective is all wrong.
Amazing work! Defo what I plan to do!
(1) Does your quest 2 go on standby when you take it off? (2) When I launch steamVR the Space CAL app opens automatically but also closes automatically when steamVR is shutdown. Does this app need to remain running for the index controller to track properly? (3) does having a boundary setup in quest 2 matter? or can stationary boundary be used? (4) I seem to be stuck in a constant loop of calibration every time I launch steamVR as the Space CAL app keeps opening and steam VR shows all four controllers and base stations. So confused, any chance you could post an updated video with current version of the Space CAL app and using the PCVR link cable (not using virtual desktop)?
If you have trouble, to disable original controllers in steamVrR try this:
remove batt from one q controller(left for example).
launch seamVR
turn on left knuckle
remove second batt
turn on rigth knuckle
Next time just launch airlink and steamVR, knuckles become primary controllers.
can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell
Previous tutorials from other TH-camrs mention you can just get old steam controllers on the cheap and flash those dongles to work as lighthouse dongles. Maybe wouldn't be cheaper, but probably faster way to get your hands on dongles.
This is a really late question and doubt it will get answered by anyone. But I have the Quest 2, as well as full body tracking pucks. This has worked fine for me in VR but the process of calibrating the pucks through the VR Space Cal requires me to use my quest controllers. I get my index controllers here in a few days but wanted to know if there was a certain way I should set up my trackers as well as the index controllers. The controllers save their space in SteamVR but my pucks don't. Any ideas on what I should or shouldn't do?
Awesome video, sadly I am distracted by the delicious looking contents in the mug. What drink did you have??
Little upset as I already knew how to do this, i thought there would be something new or something I didn't know. I personally use my headset for calibration, I "equip" the knuckle controller and then grab the side of my headset and just move my head all around XD like a big goof. Great video tho for people who didn't know. Also glad you got a pair of knuckles, they are my favorite controller by far.
Your channel is so underrated, i wish u get more subscribers
Can I just unplug the controller batteries on my quest 2 controllers instead of exiting?
Ok im new to streaming and content creation on TH-cam and this dudes vr info is fast af period so many vods so quick like dude sleep much lol I love this vod because I love my index knuckles more then anything and to use them on quest 2 in 120 mode wireless is about to be beast mode can't wait to stream this soon ty from Pallys Crew ps we should link up and vr soon brother ❤
Question for you, I don't know if there's a way to do this WITH Full body tracking? Everytime I try, I can only pair three devices. So, either the two knuckles will link up and one vive tracker, OR I can pair all three vive trackers, but not the knuckles? I don't know how to get around this, cuz currently, I have knuckles that I don't use cuz I prioritize full body more on vrchat ^^;;
Thanks for the video! Super helpful!
i got a quest 3 with index controllers running i cant figure out how to open the virtual desktop menu when ian in vrchat any solutions i need to use the quest 3 controllers todo so can i change this ?
Is it possible to use for example the CV1 controllers on quest 2 using this same method?
Also keep in mind that the company that invented the Tundra trackers also invented SteamVR-compatible dongles that support ANY Steam devices and can connect multiple to a single dongle, so you could one day drop this down to 1 dongle supporting both your Knuckles (or if you want to get trackers, a total of 5 devices due to 3 trackers and your 2 controllers all on one of their dongles).
All watchman dongles support any device using the watchman protocol such as vive wands, vive tracker pucks, knuckles, etc.
can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell
you should change the calibration speed to slow and do slower figure eights around your room or it will desync. also only hold the left touch controller and left knuckle not both. plus it MIGHT de-sync when you take off the quest

Little tip for the future. When you ask someone a question and hit reply if it doesnt auto fill their name so example @personsname type their name with @ before it that way the person your speaking to will see your commmet otherwise they do not ❤@@justtim4307
I litterally tried this and my index controllers are showing up as vive trackers in VRChat. I litterally went into steamvr settings and all I see is binding options and not a option to switch controller roles
Hey, I've got an issue where my left controller will not pair. It turns on and does not blink blue but then it appears on SteamVR but will not turn to a green light or turn on. It works fine if I plug it in via USB to my PC and keep it wired. My right controller also works completely fine. Please help...
Just got my index controllers funny thing is I did not need to caliberate them they were just in perfect position somehow. Does it sync with vive tracker info ? i don't know I didn't have my vive trackers on at the time of testing.
Issues I face right now is how to access virtual desktop hotkey or how to exit virtual desktop without reenabling oculus controller then once your back in steam vr the other index controller is knocked out because you had to use a oculus controller.
Otherwise it works great
Whats the deal with these 2 issues with Index:
squeaky triggers on Index controllers? I'm on my 3rd set and they LOUD squeaky triggers. I gave up and just deal with it.
LOUD base stations. The base stations are VERY LOUD compared to the OG Vive base stations. On 2nd pair and no difference.
my problem is i do not have quest controllers, have a headset, index contrrllers and tundra trackers. i guess there i no to setup for index controllers with out the quest ones?~!? like attaching the tundra traacker to the quest for configuration?
I've been at this for about an hour and I've had no luck. Half the time the base stations just shut off and the other half the controllers lose tracking entirely when I move them even the slightest amount, stopping calibration dead in it's tracks. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? No one seems to have any issues similar to mine...
mine worked fine yestarday, now when i try it either only lets me use one knuckle and trys to find the quest one or my left has awful tracking. this is all frustrating
This seems like the move for me specifically. I have an OG vive and was originally going to update to a reverb g2+index controllers, but after that resident evil 4 vr announcement and 120hz, plus a huge drop in price, not getting a quest 2 just seems like a bad idea. Also I read somewhere if you have a vive, you don't have to buy dongles. So that's even more money I can save.
So does this mean that you can pair the vive controllers the same way?
Did you end up doing this? Buying a quest for Wirless PC gaming and did the vive work as the dongle?
For anyone who might be in a similar situation I was. I have an absolute amalgamation of vr stuff from different systems now working. Vive base stations, Index controllers, and Quest 2 headset. Instead of getting the dongles, I was able to plug the Vive headset in to my computer while unplugging the HDMI from my computer and the HDMI from the vive hub splitter thing. This way the Indexes were communicating to SteamVR without using the headset as the video source. I would then start SteamVR and verify it detected the controller. (It would say headset not connected or error with the headset etc) Then I used Virtual Desktop to connect the quest 2 to my computer. I would press the restart headset button in steamvr OR just restart SteamVR. This would then connect the Quest 2 headset to Steam and now I could see the steam vr world. After that, I just ran OpenVR space calibrator and used Slow mode with the left knuckle and the quest 2 headset. This overlays both VR environments and matches them without needing to use the quest handsets. Naturally, it took an hour or two to get figured out (especially if I moved to a new house or room) however it only takes about 5 minutes if I am just restarting the system once it has been set up before. Things I learned. 1) Use room space set up on quest, not the sitting area. It seems to hold and remember where you are better which means a good portion of the time you won't need to recalibrate when starting up. 2) Put a piece of paper or something over the face sensor in the Quest 2 to prevent it going to sleep. Don't turn it off or let it go to sleep until you quit out of steamvr. Not sure why but that also seemed to help decrease the about of desyncs.
Even though I'll be using a Pico 4 instead of a Quest 2 with my Knuckles, this'll help! Appreciate the tip! And yeah I'll just keep my Index's USB plugged in instead of the dongles. Haha
I just noticed Frank in a bathrobe and it scared the shit outta me. I was like dude. Some old short naked guy is behind you lol. Then I was like. Wait. I know that old short naked guy.
This might be a stupid question, but is it possible to use my OG Vive as the dongle for the Index Controllers, while still using the Quest 2 as the actual headset?
I'm literally doing this only because Index controllers are better for sign language in vrchat, and this answers every one of my questions
I have the vive and it's impossible to use the index controllers in Pavlov. They keep thinking my left and is all the way down to the floor.
9:49 my calibration fucks up every time I start steamvr and I need to recalibrate and it doesn't work. Can anyone help?
How can I configure the Index controller buttons so the A and B buttons can act as PAUSE/RESUME? 🤔 No matter what I do, the button s don't work in Beat Saber (SteamVR)
Actually got a Quest 2 ontop of my Index for wireless and standalone vr, and have been using my Index controllers with it sometimes too
It's still working? Do you still need base stations for make it works or VR dongles are enough for this? and will it works in next room as I have play space here?
does this allow controllers to stay locked in its orientation? i have issues with using FBT where it doesnt stay lock to play space.
So I have done this and I don’t get it when I have my quest touch controllers on and the index controllers on steam sees them fine when I turn steam off and then power the knuckles on steam turns on shows an error and doesn’t load it comes up with an error and instead of the oculus quest 2 icon showing in steam the rift S logo does but it doesn’t connect either way, steam shows the base stations and knuckles but not the quest 2 I’ve tried everything uninstalling deleting chaperones I can’t figure it out, a shame really as I’ve wanted these for a while and they cost a lot 😓
WOW MAN i remeber watching you back when u fixed your internet thing with the help of maybe your cousin or family member, in the quest 1 days. i swear i lost ur channel for so long and i found it now 😭
Very interesting I just got a index but still have a quest 2 hate the cable on index I also have vive trackers but every time I used them I had to re-calibrate doing the whole fig 8 thing, you saying I don’t have to recalibrate though with the knuckle controllers interests me is that because of a new version of space Cali or just the way it works on the knuckle controllers, or is it the dongle thing you plugged in and you don’t have to calibrate more than once do you know?
It's the way he worded it I think -- he said "it stays after you shut down SteamVR" which is technically true... but the calibration does not stay when the Quest is reconnected via Oculus Link, or even if the headset is put to sleep. At least, as far as I've tested.
If I don’t have usb 2.0 as all my ports are 3.0 can I use a usb 2.0 hub?
Don't do them in one spot. Do the figure eights all around your room overwise they'll start desyncing once you move from that spot
Once Calibrated, I exit Steam VR but my quest controllers don't disappear, and even if they did when I launch steam VR from my computer it doesnt detect the quest HMD because I didnt launch it from Virtual Desktop. Maybe I'm missing something here?
Great overview of the setup!
I've actually had this exact set up for a while now but with two additions:
1. I have Vive trackers set up so I get full body tracking with the Quest 2 wirelessly.
2. The PC running Steam VR is literally on the other side of the house to the spare room that I use to play VR.
I use a small Linux box in the VR room with Virtual Here to plug the dongles into. Then the PC accesses the USB dongles wirelessly also. It's awesome not being tethered to my PC in any way, not even in the same room. I can literally have my PC in the normal desktop gaming area but still have a completely empty room dedicated to room-scale VR with full body tracking.
Also, I haven't tried it yet, BUT you can install Virtual Here on the Quest 2 itself and use a USB hub on that for the dongles to eliminate the need for any kind of Linux box. I'm a little concerned about eating up the precious bandwidth that Virtual Desktop needs though.
I have a question: do you need to recalibrate every play session, or does the calibration hold for you? I've tested this with my Quest, but unlike my WMR headset, the calibration doesn't stick anytime the Quest is reconnected via Oculus Link (or even if the headset goes to sleep)
can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell

@@justtim4307 this video is pretty out of date. You don’t have to take your batteries out of your Quest controllers anymore. The best way to do it is to use the Quests hand tracking so you never have to pick up the Quest controllers in the first place.
@@chekote how can I do it?
tracking is fantastic!
(laser spams left and right)
If the new psvr controllers can work with base stations to be fully tracked, i would love to see somebody try connecting them to steam! Those controllers having pcvr support with haptic trigger mods for games would be a dream
They will not work with the base stations for sure.
can you use the index controllers at the same time with 3 vive trackers (specifically in vrchat) or is that too much tracking?
You can have as much steam vr tracked controllers as you want with using base stations so yes
But you will have 30 miliseconds of latency of your tracking and base station tracking so it will be not as the pcvr tracking
can you tewll me why your Fov is like 3 times the screen space of my quest 2? i can only see a third as much
when you play oculus quest 2 with index controllers do you need to be near the pc pls someone answer
hey I was wondering if I should do this or not and I was just curious if there is any latency experienced with this? You'd think their would be.
Does this work with fullbody tracking? I'm a quest 2 fullbody user and ive bought the 2 dongles necessary for the valve index controllers and I was wondering if you use OpenVr with trackers and it's calibration. Would it be tricky or a different process to do both trackers and index controllers?
Edit: it does work with fullbody. It's essentially the same as having two trackers except, of course, you need to have the two quest controllers out of your playspace area or, take the battery off.
I’m pretty sure because your touch controllers will register as the primary controller
I realized this after you restart vr it will only show the two controllers
Did you ever find out?
so did you need the dongles even if u have htc vive base stations
Can you fix my problem when I launch steam vr in virtual desktop it doesn’t find my controllers
How much better is it? Like, do you think it's *worth* $600? Is the improvement that fundamentally different? I'm asking honestly, not in a judgey way. It is possible I upgrade to a valve vr when its eventually upgraded to next gen, but I dont know for sure. So with that in mind, if we have to buy the set up, do you think it's worth it?
One year too late, but apparently latest Expert+ songs in beat saber are impossible with 90hz inside out tracking. The tracking just can't handle 7+ notes per second. Comparing my movement poll rate to those pro gameplay videos, theirs seem like going from 15fps to 60 for the first time, when it comes to smoothness.
I intend on eventually getting the 2 base stations and controllers, because for my use case I feel frustrated as hell being hardware limited. If you don't intend on doing super fast precise movements, I don't think it's worth it.
If you can’t get dongles, I highly suggest getting an old used Vive, which has 2 built in dongles, and you can get knuckles compatible basestations with them if the seller has them. Then just unplug the vive HDMI and use the quest/quest 2
but no wireless :(
@@o.oswift181 it's wireless, you'll be playing with the quest 2, not the vive, the vive only functions as a dongle, basically.
@@o.oswift181 no. Use the vive as dongles but unplug the HDMI and use the quest/Q2 as the headset. Also vive does have a wireless mode.
OK I need to know more about this method in detail, because I'm interested in using my HTC Vive and Index controllers combining the space calibrated with the base stations with the space calibrated inside the Oculus Quest. If I can avoid buying dongles and also using my controllers, I'm soooo into it and I would need a complete tutorial (if you could provide, of course).
@@DJordydj plug in the vive in and connect the controllers. Then close out of Steam vr, unplug the vive’s video (hdmi or DisplayPort), make sure link/virtual desktop is on, then turn on your knuckles, and start Steam vr. Then, use Space Calibrator to align the quest controllers to the knuckles. I factory reset my quest 2 because I’m trying to sell it, so I can’t make a tutorial, but I tried it once and it worked along the lines of that. Tell me if you have any problems.
How do you connected you full body and you indix at the same time? I'm worried the index will lose calibration then I have to do everything again
Dude it works so well
Can you perform this setup without the Quest 3 controllers? I am thinking about trading my Index headpiece for a Quest 3 headpiece, but the seller won't include the controllers without an additional $100.
I wanna get index controllers buts it already enough work using the space calibrator for my vive trackers all the time when booting up, get these controllers are just gonna add more work 😭
It won’t keep the Calibration, then when I try to recalibrate steamvr blocks everything. This became not worth it real fast I just don’t have the patience.
Is it possible to use Index controllers AND Tundra trackers with the Quest 2 at the same time? I am heavily considering getting a pair of Index controllers but if Space Calibrator cannot run both the Index controllers and Tundra Trackers at the same time, then the idea of using both at the same time is dead in the water.
Anyone here have any experience with running both at the same time on Quest 2?
I don't understand what you need the dongles for? With the basestations can't you just sync to them with the index controllers?
If you have Rift sensors will this work with those or you need valves sensors?
This is going to sound weird, but you helped me pass a Beat Saber level...okay, let me explain. I saw that you posted a new video, so naturally I clicked on it. I watched your Beat Saber gameplay, and I saw how softly you were hitting the notes. So I thought "hmmm, let me give that a try" since when I played, I always used my full force on every note because me being stupid though force = more points = better score. So I tried to hit the notes gently, and surely enough, I Beat Full Charge on expert+ first try (I had been practicing at this song for a week now so far). It also helped me to save energy and I used to begin sweating 10 minutes into laying. I just played for an hour, and I not a single drop of sweat formed on me. I am going to play this way for the rest of my days. Thank you!!
Edit: Just beat Commercial Pumping with the same method, I'm now in the double digit range of Expert+ songs beaten!! 10 (so far) to be exact.
but hitting harder equals more fun
@@OpreanMircea But harder hit = less energy and make you tired faster
can you please help me. After i turn off my steam vr and take batteries out from quest controllers and turn on steam vr the steam vr doesn't see my headset anymore only if i reboot my PC but if i reboot my PC i will lose knuckles calibration. Such a circle of hell
Do the settings save, or do you have to calibrate every time you use the Quest?
can you invert this for the valve index and then use oculus controllers
but can I use my index headset as those watchman dongles?
or I must buy those dongles separately to make things work?
because my current problem is after my space is calibrated and the touch controller has disappeared...
I have no way to launch steamvr from the virtual desktop.
if I lunch from the desktop, it will wake my index headset up rather than the quest2...
You can use the Index HMD as dongles - just make sure everything from the index is plugged in except the DisplayPort cable!
For me everytime i restart my SteamVR i gotta redo the calibrating.
My hands are always elsehwere. Any tips?
thank you !!
i ll try it
Can you use the Quest 2 controllers as trackers for full body tracking?
Can you use the vive dongles? Or do I have to use the specific dongles mentioned in the video?
You are a genius man
So whats the point of buying the full index kit? Other than maybe comfort and FOV, you might as well just to this with a quest 2.

So is there any difference with not using virtual desktop...
We can play beat saber with if we downloaded it on oculus store ?
Commenting again for answer, sorry. Do i need virual desktop for this to method to work
