[Reason: Still missing guides & need more input from various controller types]
[Reason: No reason provided.]
SteamVR input is a universal keybind system for all controllers usable in SteamVR. Instead of binding keys like "space" to jump, VR game developers provide actions we can directly bind to inputs on SteamVR controllers. The UI also provides a way for users to find or share community bindings. [1]

Glossary
| Terms | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Bindings | A complete set of bindings between inputs and actions that can be saved and shared in the Steam Workshop. |
| Action | Behavior that can be bound to inputs or chords, like movement, selection, or bringing up the camera or personal mirror. |
| Action set | A group of actions that corresponds to a specific context, like using the menu or action menu, or global actions that are available in any context. |
| Control source | A specific physical actuator on a controller, like a joystick, trigger, button, or trackpad. |
| Control source mode
(Use control as) |
A mapping that defines how a control source's movements or sensors are interpreted as inputs.
For example, a trackpad can be mapped as dpad or a button, and a joystick can be mapped as joystick or scroll wheel. |
| Input | A specific movement or sensor reading from a control, interpreted through a control source mode.
For example, a button's control source mode might provide touch, press, hold, or double-press inputs. |
| Chords | Bindings that combine two or more inputs to execute one action |
Mostly from the official docs but with some edits for clarity.

Walkthroughs
These walkthroughs require you to first navigate to the VRChat SteamVR bindings page.
Default Bindings
To reset your bindings to default, navigate to the VRChat SteamVR bindings page and select Activate on the official Default Bindings available for your controller.
Editing Bindings
You can enter the bindings editor for a specific controller by selecting Edit on the currently applied Binding.

Changing input settings
Almost all inputs can be configured. Find the input you'd like to configure and hover over it, you'll see a pencil icon you can click. After clicking the pencil, to the right side of the input you'll find a cogwheel which will cause a dialogue box with input settings to appear.

There's certain things you can do to bindings that can cause issues. Try to avoid them when possible
Multiple actions per control source
When you bind multiple actions like this, it stops them from functioning instantaneously and can make them unpredictable. [1]
A functional use case would be setting action menu to Single and quick menu to Double; this will introduces a small delay after the single press input which can be interrupted by a double click to open the quick menu without accidentally opening the action menu.
Controller info & fixes
All controllers
Various fixes that are potentially globally applicable.
Can't do gestures at all
By default coming into the Input 2.0 update, gestures were set to disabled. You can enable them in them in the Action Menu.

Double tap is opening the Main Menu
This feature was introduced with Input 2.0. You can disable it in the Controls section of the Main Menu
TODO: Location of toggle in context
Disabling finger tracking
Skeletal based finger tracking is enabled by default for all controller types. You can disable it in the Controls section of the Main Menu
TODO: Location of toggle in context
Reverting to old finger tracking
If you prefer the old finger tracking method, navigate to the Quick Actions section of the Action Menu and enabling Legacy fingers. (per-avatar basis)

Tracking breaking in SteamVR Dashboard
This is due to a SteamVR feature called Keyboard privacy introduced in SteamVR 2.7 which stops applications from seeing device positions while the Steam keyboard is visible. In SteamVR settings navigate to
Dashboardand setKeyboard Privacyto Disabled.Currently this safety feature can only be disabled in the SteamVR Beta. Opt in Instructions

Hard Bindings reset
In rare cases, a full hard reset of your bindings may be needed due to issues with SteamVR.
TODO: Guide on process
Vive Wands
Vive is a little special, two default binding modes are available with different feature sets. (TODO: write about them)
Advanced Controls
It's likely that you previously used Vive Advanced controls before Input 2.0. You can restore Advanced behavior you're used to by switching from Default Bindings over to the Default Advanced Bindings which can be found on the bindings select page.
TODO: Image of bindings page, focusing on Default/Advanced options
No touch to move / Emotes are "sticky"
It's likely that you previously used Vive Advanced controls before Input 2.0. Try switching.
Difficulty moving
The default thresholds for movement on Vive controllers require you to hit the very edges of the touchpad. This can be changed by adjusting Dead zones.
TODO: Recommended values for Simple & Advanced
Accidental jumping
With a mix of adjustments to Overlap percentage & Dead zone on the Trackpad DPADs, you can restore pre-Input 2.0 behavior.
TODO: Recommended values for both
Physbone posing with grip
At time of writing (8/30/24) posing physbones is tied to the
interactfunctionality and there's is no way to restore pre-input 2.0 functionality of pose via Grip without sacrificing other functionalities.Related CannyTODO: image showing what the newly added button should look like.
Unwanted Action Menu gestures
This is because the Action Menu action set is a copy of the Global action set. If you wish to keep Fist/Open hand functional but prevent the trackpad from firing emotes, you can migrate the actions of
Gesture Wheel - Disable MoveAndGesture Wheel - Disable Rotateto Touch on their respective Buttons instead of Click. If you want to disable ALL gestures (including fist/open hand) while the action menu is open, you can delete all Gesture Wheel actions from the Action menu action set all together.Related CannyTODO: Image of bind setup
Grip isn't doing hand open / Isn't clearing gestures
You're likely missing the
Gesture Wheel Cancel Open (Left/Right)actions on your grips as a Button clicks.
