Pairing the controllers
When using VIVE Manager to set up your headset and controllers, the app will prompt you to turn on the controllers. Your headset can automatically detect and pair with the controllers that came in the box. For details, see Setting up your headset for the first time.
If your headset did not automatically detect the controllers during setup or you need to change controllers, you can pair them manually. Here's how:-
To change to a different set of controllers, go to Settings, select
Inputs > Controllers, and then select
Pair new for each controller you want to pair.
Tip: You can also pair controllers using the VIVE Manager mobile app.
-
To turn on the controllers, press the VIVE button
on the right controller and the Menu button on the left controller.
-
To pair the controllers manually, press and hold Menu + Y on the left controller and VIVE + B on the right controller for 2 seconds.
The controller LEDs will flash blue when in pairing mode.
Note: If your headset has previously paired with controllers, you'll need to use the headset button or the VIVE Manager mobile app to forget the controllers before you can pair them again.
