I am having a hard time getting the buttons to work reliably on the oculus touch controllers in unity.If I use if OVRInput.GetDown it never seems to work, but using OVRInput.Get works all the time?I wasn't sure if it was something to do with OVRInput.Update (); and I've tried adding it to 1 script and all the scripts that detect input but both ways give the same results, .GetDown will not work, but .Get will?Is there a step I'm missing?

I was having this issue too, for me the issue was that I was calling OVRInput.Update and OVRInput.FixedUpdate in one of my own scripts, but these are already called by OVRManager. The documentation implies you need to include OVRManager and call those functions, but I think they mean to do either/or.

Documentation clearly says:Include an instance of OVRManger anywhere in your scene.Call OVRInput.Update() and OVRInput.FixedUpdate() once per frame at the beginning of any component’s Update and FixedUpdate methods, respectively.So I was doing both "requirements"... placing OVRManager in the Scene AND calling both Update and FixedUpdate from a script I made. GetDown wasn't working, and as soon as I removed both calls from my script, it started working.(Quest 1, Unity 2019.3.15)

Do if (OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.Two)){ ... } for example and don t forget to remove OVRInput.Update() !!!

This issue was solve on my end by removing the Update() calls. For future people who have the same issue, I'm not using FixedUpdate(), but try to remove that too and check if that'll work.

I can also confirm this issue. Currently on Unity 2017.1.0f3 with the latest oculus sdk (from the unity store).OVRInput.GetUp() and OVRInput.GetDown() always return false, with OVRInput.Get() being the only way of detecting if a key is down.I can post a copy of my project if you wish to take a look.

Same issue here. And also in the Unity Input Debugger, only position/rotations things are working. No Button ;/
