Jyge Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Every now and then I have a moment that I miss VR Controllers. Also I would like to test couple of other games in VR. So the question is, what is the easiest way to get controllers for Varjo Aero? I saw that there is some - I think Steam application - that emulates Vive controllers, but I think it may not work as, for example DCS does not start SteamVR. The software also costs about 20$ so I do not want to give away that money for nothing. It claims to be able to emulate handcontrollers with two mouse or xbox controller, so basically I might be interested, just do not know if it is of any use with Varjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, sold my G2 and bought some index controllers Never use them for DCS though, only get turned on for HL Alyx and Into the Radius. I have a leap motion on the aero for handtracking and use mouse cursor slaved to the headset with mouse controls bound to hotas for backup when the leap motion isn't practical.

Jyge Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 299 $ is a bit salty price tag for my presumed needs ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmuss Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Yeah, they're not cheap, but I figured having got the top end headset it would be silly to not spend on the controllers As it was, my G2 sold for 250 which covered the index controllers. It's quite possible to pick them up cheap with stick drift and I believe it's pretty simple to replace the sticks.
