For people with issues using joysticks in the new Input Update...

If you have issues with the joysticks not working, head to http://127.0.0.1:8998/dashboard/controllerbinding.html or the in-game editor when it works and while running the affected game, edit the profile and add the joystick input by pressing the plus by Joystick, selecting Joystick in the menu, and making sure it is the appropriate "____ second trackpad/thumbstick value" option (____ being left or right). It will autosave the binding and it should work.

EDIT: Haptics on the left controller are also redirected to the right controller. Click edit haptics and redirect the left controller haptics to the left controller.

Cool thanks. Havent tried the new feature yet but hope to soon.

Question though, what's the deal with this method of configuration? And how do I visit that site? Like, for example just start fallout 4 in steam vr, then get out of of vr, open chrome and go to that URL? And how does one get to the in game editor?

Thanks for posting this.

Open the URL while SteamVR is running. You can edit a game's configuration without being in the game, but you would want to have the game open. Right now, the in-game editor is broken but you would open it up by clicking settings in the dashboard and then clicking Controller Bindings.

The controller configurations are definitely not polished at all, with weird scaling issues when too many actions are set. Hopefully they manage to merge Steam Input and SteamVR Input so the same polished interface for configuring a Steam Controller can be used for VR controllers.

Was it actually working for you? I tried messing around with that earlier and still couldn't get it to work.

It worked for me, at least in Skyrim.

I think I figured out what was wrong with what I was doing. I connected to the website before actually running the game. When I left the profile edit and checked the game it was still using the original so had to recreate it again and then it started working.

Skyrim has my ideal controller configuration already, what have you changed?

I just fixed the thumbsticks. I'm holding out for SteamVR Input support before I make any major changes. Given the update for the game not too long ago, I wouldn't be surprised if native support was added once the SteamVR Input software is more fleshed out and polished.

i haven't gotten this to work at least for onward. I haven't tried other games for fear of breaking them as well. I opened http://127.0.0.1:8998/dashboard/controllerbinding.html in chrome and I can choose a community profile created by someone, but the profile has 19 actions unassigned.

I can't edit the chosen profile - the profile just says "legacy bindings" in red and when I hover over it it says "these actions haven't been bound," then on the left hand side of the screen it says "Put list of options HERE!!!" but nothing else.

I can't even turn off the profile, so now literally my buttons do nothing when I open up onward.

That is a bug with SteamVR Beta right now for WMR. Until it is fixed, I would revert to the stable branch until a fix is pushed out.
