===Adding new inputs===
These walkthroughs require you to first navigate to the [[Community:SteamVR_Bindings#Where|VRChat SteamVR bindings page]].
 
===Default Bindings===
To reset your bindings to default, navigate to the [[Community:SteamVR_Bindings#Where|VRChat SteamVR bindings page]] and select <code>Activate</code> on the official Default Bindings available for your controller.
 
[[File:SteamVR Input - Default Bindings.png|1100x1100px]]
 
=== Editing Bindings ===
You can enter the bindings editor for a specific controller by selecting <code>Edit</code> on the currently applied Binding.
 
[TODO Image]
 
===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.

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.

Control Source Modes

Control Source Mode Provided Inputs
Button Touches, Clicks, Holds, Double clicks, and Long presses
Trigger Touch (or any press), Click if there is a physical click at the end of the trigger, and the ammount (0-1) the trigger is depressed)
Joystick XY Positioning, touches, and presses
Trackpad XY Positioning, touches, and presses
DPAD Splits the the XY control source into North, East, South, and West quadrants. Can be used in touch or click mode.
Grab Combines capacitive sensors and force sensors to report a more reliable grab
Force Sensor Gives analog actions a 0-1 value indicating how much force the user is applying to the control
Set analog Action Allows you to use a digital (on/off) control to a set an analog (0-1) value
Toggle Button One press for on, one press for off
Radial Menu (?)

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.

SteamVR Input - Default Bindings.png

Editing Bindings

You can enter the bindings editor for a specific controller by selecting Edit on the currently applied Binding.

[TODO Image]

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.

Don'ts

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]

Bad vs Good method for multiple actions via one control source

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.

Path: Action Menu ➜ Options ➜ Avatar ➜ Gestures

TODO: GIF navigating to toggle

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. (this will need to be done on a per-avatar basis)

Path: Action Menu ➜ Expressions ➜ Quick Actions ➜ Legacy Fingers

TODO: GIF navigating to toggle

Hands breaking in SteamVR Dashboard is open

This is due to a SteamVR feature called Keyboard privacy introduced in SteamVR 2.7 which restricts applications from seeing device positions while the Steam keyboard is visible. As of time of writing, this safety feature can only be disabled in the SteamVR Beta. Opt in Instructions In SteamVR settings navigate to Dashboard and set Keyboard Privacy to Disabled.

TODO: Image of option with menu location context

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 interact functionality 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 Move And Gesture Wheel - Disable Rotate to 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.
