Games for one handed person
Hello, I'm a dad that just bought a quest 2 for his son (13 years old). He has very limited use of his right hand (he may be able to hold the controller, but is unlikely to be able to manipulate the...

Controller button remapping arrived for me this week, separate from v56. Can be found under Settings>Accessibility>Mobility.
Hopefully this will open up a few more games for single-handed play.
omgg thank you what settings do i remap i lost the ability of using m left hand so i onl have my right i have controll grips so i can hold it just not use any lefft buttons. thanks in advance.
hi jcr21.2023 the remapping option will help but there will probably be games where it will still be difficult or impossible to play one handed.
For example, every button can be re-mapped to become any of the other buttons so in your case, your right controller can take on any of the buttons from the left controller but it only has 5 buttons/triggers available, so if a game uses more than 5 buttons, you still need the left controller to handle the 6th button etc.
So it depends on the game, if the game uses 5 (or less) buttons during play, but uses a 6th button for a menu or for recentring the view, for example, then you could assign those non-play buttons to the left controller and just puck up that controller when you need to, between play.
If the game uses two thumbsticks during play, then I don't think button remapping will help. However, remapping can swap the left/right thumbsticks, so any game that uses one stick that the user isn't able to use, the swap will help them for sure.
So yeah, remapping will definitely open up more games for single handed play but not all unfortunately.
