I Love the quest 2 every time I boot it up there's a new issue. I use to be able to use my xbox controller with side loaded emulators and gamepass via the oculus browser now the xbox controller when in use will navigate the quest 2 with a dot. The issue with that is now my emulators wont see the controller and gamepass wont see the controller it basically took what use I had for it (being my laptop) and threw it out the door

I have finally got a solution to this annoying problem and can now use the gamepad via Bluetooth in anything, especially gamepass. Heck I don't even need the app anymore, the browser should now just work. That stupid head tracking mode. Why hasn't anyone at Oculus told us about this...

So for the longest time, I have had this dot problem, head tracking dot as soon as I Bluetooth connect the Xbox controller. Couldn't play side loaded game pass and stuff, well I finally figured it out. I knew it had to be some sort of combo cause I would go nuts and it would work. So here it is.

 

If you try to use the Xbox Controllers via Bluetooth and after pairing you get a white dot that follows your head, you can use it in that mode to load up what you want but when you say load a Game pass game it does not recognize you when you hit the a button well here's the fix put the Oculus controllers down and on the Xbox controller hit the start button and the select button basically the one right next to the x and the one right next to the left controller if you hold those two buttons and you put them together they switch between the modes, one mode you get that dot which tracks with the head and the other is normal , am now playing again in gamepass with my gamepad again! yay. 

 

So all that time that's what's been bothering me those two freaking buttons have to be pressed together and they switch the Xbox controller into the one mode where it's tracking with your head and then the other mode where it's normally like the controller where you can hit the a button and so forth unbelievable so I cannot play a game pass again no problem hope this helps someone else been driving me nuts for a long time.

Hello there! I see you're having issues with connecting your Xbox controller with your device. This is not the experience I want to hear from our community. And I was wondering what software update your device is on currently? (Reminder let's make sure we are being nice to each other as we all are trying to provide help) 

We are all mad here.

I'm on V55 this is what gamepass gives me and others like emulators use to work with the controller but now doesn't. It sees the controller as a touch screen

Thank you so much for that information! I was wondering if you have Factory Resetting the device to see if you can start fresh? 

We are all mad here.

I did that didn't fix it

Gotcha! Let me see if I find anything on this and will get back with you as soon as possible. 

We are all mad here.

I do have another question can you let me know what version on the app you have? 

We are all mad here.

Quest browser 28.2.0.6.44.496093041

Quest mobile app 225.0.0.2.57
