Mouse cursor and head movement

[Galinette]

Hi,

 

On my system, the mouse cursor moves with my head. This makes turning a knob while looking somewhere else almost impossible.

 

Some users (such as @imacken) have reported that mouse cursor stays still with head movement. Is that something we can configure somewhere?

[imacken]

What I said was that the cursor moves with head movement until the mouse takes over.  Then it is independent when being controlled by the mouse.

Are you saying that even with the mouse, your head controls the cursor? Have you got the 'Use Mouse' option ticked?

[Galinette]

Yes, I have 'Use Mouse' checked in VR tab. And when moving the mouse AND the cursor at the same time, the cursor moves as a sum of both moves. So for instance small inevitable head movements always shake the cursor even while moving the mouse.

 

I'm using an Oculus Quest with Link. G2 ordered, I don't know if this is an Oculus vs Steam/WMR thing.

 

I will do a video tonight.

Sorry, I thought you were saying that the cursor was stuck to your head position.

If you start rotate a knob or keep a button down and hold the mouse button down, you can turn your head at the same time and still do what you was doing. But ofcourse you have to watch to the right direction first and then press the mouse button.

Quite why the mouse pointer can't be completely detached from head movement in VR - like it is in TrackIR - I don't know.

Does anyone know?  Is there a technical reason for this?

Question, I now have the mouse coupled to my headset en look were I want to click.

the issue I am having now is that the pointer is slightly high in my center of view causing me to have to look more down to reach certain buttons.

 

is there a way to move that center a bit more down using a lua file?

They should just decouple the mouse from the head movement and make the dot larger and easier to see to make it easy to locate when wanting to use it.
