[SOLVED] Valve index controllers

PimaxVR Software Discussion
1

Hi guys,

My new Valve Index Controllers arrived which I’m trying to use with a Pimax 5k+. I thought after a quick pairing they would be good to go but unfortunately not. I’m posting this in the hope that a) I’ve missed something simple or b) someone has seen the below problem before.

From a fresh reboot:

  1. The STEAMVR desktop overlay still shows the controller icons as Vive wands - is this normal?
  2. In STEAMVR home the virtual controllers are still displayed as Vive wands (track fine) - is this normal?
  3. In STEAMVR home I can’t click on any menus or teleport (the laser light pointer is tracking fine).
  4. In Half Life Alyx I can’t start the game as is says “Pull trigger to start” but doesn’t work.
  5. Tested in Aperture hand lab but no hands display and can’t teleport.
  • In STEAMVR home the system buttons on the controllers still work taking me to the settings menu - then I can click everything fine within those menus. But stops working again when I exit.
  • Whilst in the system menu I can click on “Test controllers” and they appear to work fine.

I rather rashly did a full uninstall/reinstall of STEAM and STEAMVR. Then did room setup again but no change.

If anyone had any ideas I’d be very gratefull.
Thanks

Bizarre. Mine worked out of the box with 5k+. Good luck.

Thanks, LOL this is the fun of PC gaming. The only thing I can think of is updating PiTool to the latest version - will try that next.

Doh … upgrading to PiTool v2020.3.24 appears to have fixed it for me.

This thread can be closed as solved now - thanks :+1:
