Double Tap Hand Tracking Issue/Question

I just got the headset not too long ago and wanted to try out the hand tracking feature without setting down the controller. There is a setting that allows double tapping the Touch Plus controllers together to enable, however after no less then 5 seconds the controller regains control and hand tracking turns off. (Using the Velcro Straps from Meta instead of provided string straps)

Is there a way I can make my controllers not re-attain control while still having them technically in my hands? Or is this feature only allowed when the controllers are set down?

I got a friend who sent me a solution via a third-party attachment that enables finger-tracking similar to Vive, however I'd rather stick with what I got and the attachment isn't even available yet anyways(March 2026).

Hi CrazyAllaen​ 🙂

Have you tried if it works when "auto-switch" between hand and controllers in settings is toggled off?

    That works the best, as I can switch to hands in the Quick Menu. I hope they add a way to quickly switch to hands without having to access the quick menu, like with Double Tapping. <3

      That just disables the ability to double tap controllers to turn on hand tracking. Honestly not a bad solution, because I'd just open the quick menu to turn on hand tracking, just not quite what I was hoping for. 

      I want to be able to double tap controller to turn on hand tracking, then unless I explicitly press a button or move the joystick I want it to stay on hand tracking. Thanks for the quick reply, had to go to work after posting >.<

      Basically, after double-tapping the controllers, you have to put them down.

        That is what I figured. Thanks for the help both of you!
