Why does the Quest 3 not support Quest 2 controllers?

[Qsriel]

After using the Quest 3 for a while, (despite it's many QC issues like squeaky springs in the controllers, mura on the display, bad battery life, etc) all I can notice is how so many things have been downgraded from the less expensive, older, quest 2. Specifically here, the controllers.

While the controllers definitely feel higher quality, their tracking is just awful. Constant misses in beat saber. When I'm in any kind of shooting game, the controllers occlude so much more often, and I can't tell until i need to move quickly and my controllers just stay behind.

Meta's solution? 300$ pro controllers, that need to be charged 5x as much.

As a little bit of hope, it does look like meta is working on their kinda body tracking, which is promising, but seriously, please add quest 2 controller support.

Edit: although i still want the feature i do need to give meta some credit, they have improved the tracking so far, but it's still not at the same level.

Hey @Qsriel, this isn't something that's possible at the moment. There's currently an Idea for this feature posted, you should give it a like and reply with any thoughts.
