Question

Controller Setup & Pairing

No other way to find out so.

I factory reset my Meta Quest 2, and I ONLY HAVE ONE CONTROLLER

 I paired it and still stuck on the pairing screen. Is it impossible to setup your headset without both controllers?

    Hey there @phantomSwordsman,

     

    We know how eager you are to get back into the world of VR using your Meta Quest 2, but you are currently unable to finish the setup process as you only have one controller. You will be required to pair two controllers to your Meta Quest 2 headset in order to complete the setup process, and more information regarding how to do so, can be found here.

     

    We know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but your understanding is greatly appreciated. We'll see you in VR!

    Hi phantomSwordsman​ 🙂

    As MetaStoreHelp​ mentioned, you need two controllers.

    But it doesn't have to be YOUR controller. You can borrow a controller from a friend or family member just to complete the setup.😉
