Setting up Oculus Quest 2 VR without its controller in 2023

Hi there, Recently I bought Oculus Quest 2 VR from Ebay without the controllers. I'm really struggling to set it up as it always shows the controller pairing screen and doesn't let me do anything on it. I have DS4 Gamepad, USB Keyboard and Mouse, A smartphone and a PC. Please advice a way to get through the pairing screen without the controllers.

There are also some others thread about this but those all are outdated as META keeps updating the VR Firm.

I believe that there would definitely a way to bypass this, but if you want to help me somehow but you don't know any method, you can suggest me some alternative controllers too which would work with quest 2, as original quest 2 controllers are way much expensive (even the second hand one costs the same)

Hey @aditya.yt. Welcome to the Meta Quest family! To get through the initial set up process, you would need to have two working Meta Quest 2 controllers. We totally understand how paying for those right now can be a bit expensive for you, but hopefully sometime down the line you'll be able to your hands on some.

Any chance you could let me know how as well?

I'm not sure what method they may provide, but you're able to navigate your Quest 2 with just your hands. If you want to enable this feature, you'll need to go to Quick Settings > Settings > Hands and Controllers and enable Hand Tracking.

Once Hand Tracking is set up, you can navigate the Quest 2 interface with natural hand motions, and can click on icons with a quick pinch.

In the time of your life, live - so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

P.S., I can beat you at One Piece TCG and Tekken

Were you able to find a solution to this issue? I'm having the same issue.

 

Would you be able to help me with the same issue with the new headset I am trying to pair my perfectly good Quest 2 controllers with it, but I get stuck and can't pair the headset.

If you were able to get past the issue would you mind sharing with me?

Yes I figured it out asking for donations of 15 dollars to get the steps and link to bypass it
