Oh well. I’ll just leave it at that.

    Yeah. It’s a shame that you can’t use VR controllers as normal gamepads. At least the Quest ones can’t be used that way.

    And my disabled ass really would use my Quest 1 to play flat games if those fuckers hadn’t pulled Quest 1 support a month before they added laying down mode to all other headsets.

      You can set Virtual Desktop to use them as either an xbox or playstation controller. It’s a 20 dollar program, but I would consider it a mandatory part of any VR setup, factor it in to the total price. But I really recommend a new headset, Quest 2 and Quest 3 were both huge leaps. Quest 3 is clear enough that a 4k virtual screen looks much better than a 1440p screen in it. Even though it shouldn’t have enough pixels for that to be the case, in practice the sort of temporal anti aliasing you get just from the micro-movements of your head is enough to make it the case. Going from 1 to 3 with no in-between would be nuts. For now though, Quest 1 controls can indeed be used that way.
