    Hi valdentruth​ 🙂

    You need controllers for the setup..... if you know somebody with a Quest 2, maybe borrow them just for the setup.

      That is not possible at the present moment there’s got to be a way to enable hand tracking without controllers

      There isn't unfortunately. You must have controllers to do the initial setup of every model of the Quest. There is no workaround

        google for "setup Quest 2 without controllers".... there is a guide on reddit.

        Actually, I'm surprised that you didn't find it.

        It's the first thing coming up in google search.🤷‍♀️
