v85 - Disable sleep mode for Quest Pro controllers

Hi everyone,

 

I’d like to raise a request regarding the upcoming Quest firmware v85.

 

Could we please get an option to disable sleep mode for Quest Pro controllers, or at least extend the idle timeout significantly?

 

Many of us are using Quest Pro controllers not only for standard VR interaction but also as trackers — for example in motion rigs, motion compensation setups, simulators, and other stationary tracking use cases. In these scenarios, the controller may remain physically still for periods of time while still being actively used for tracking data.

 

Right now, after a few minutes of no movement, the controller automatically goes to sleep. When this happens, tracking is lost and it disrupts the entire setup until the controller is woken up again.

 

This would make Quest Pro controllers far more reliable for advanced users who rely on them as dedicated trackers.

 

Thanks for considering this request

  • People have been complaining about this for over 2 years, so probably not. You should use headset Quick Settings>Report Problem, rather than posting here.

  • All I need is MR + WiFi, and Quest 3 do it very well, the ONLY issue I have is that those controllers go to sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Meta has increasingly centralized feedback into private channels (in‑app reporting, developer programs, internal analytics) rather than open forums where users can see and upvote ideas. There used to be an Ideas Board here, but Meta shut it down months ago. You're probably wasting your time posting here. You should submit feedback through the headset Quick Settings>'Report problem' or submit a ticket at the Developer Feedback Center.
