That is why I am asking if they will add them as an option to the app/pairing in the future. When the Quest Pro Controllers were released as individual purchases, they were not support/able to pair to the Quest 2, but Meta resolved those issues.
I am just hoping and wondering if Meta can/will do the same to make the Quest 3 Controllers compatible/pairable with the Quest 2 headset. There certainly doesn't seem to be any technical reason it wouldn't be possible... and for those that use Quest Pro Controllers... it feels a waste to have Quest 3 ones going unused when they could be an upgrade to the previous Quest 2 Headset. 😉
I personally think the reason why the Meta Quest 2 and Pro as well as the Meta Quest 3 are not compatible is because of the difference in the controllers overall physical and internally. However, there is no information if this will be added in the future or not.
However, you can provide this in our Idea forums! Or maybe someone in the community has done this before with the Meta Quest 2 and pro controller's and can assist!
I really wish there was more I could provide you with 😕
But in regards to your other portions... Currently the Quest 2 Headset can accommodate Quest 2 and Quest Pro Controllers The Quest 3 Headset can accommodate Quest 3 and Quest Pro Controllers
Quest 3 Controllers use a hybrid technology of IR from Quest 2 and Form Factor and Haptics from Quest Pro Controllers.
So it should be theoretically and very easily possible for Meta to Enable Quest 3 controllers to be compatible with Quest 2 Headsets as all of the underlying code and technology is there/the same between the headsets...
For sure I think it should be easier as well just not sure why it has not been added yet being easy to do.. So it just gets me thinking there is a certain reason why is not been done yet. Because this has been talked about with a lot of people through our forums as well.
I also hope for this. My wife would like to use these new Quest 3 controllers with her Quest 2. The new Q3 controllers are just going to be wasted not being used at all otherwise.
I don't know for sure, but I think it's not physically possible. Again, I don't have any information directly from meta, and maybe they will allow it. But I think they can't as the quest 3 has its improved ai, witch could come to the quest 2 with a software update. But the quest 3 also has a depth sensor, and the controllers are designed to work with that I'm sure, again, I don't know, but it makes sense.
