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. <ref name=":0">https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings/blob/master/docs/SteamVRInputGuide.md</ref>

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

Walkthroughs

These walkthroughs require you to 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

Binding editing page

Navigate to the VRChat SteamVR Bindings page and select Edit on the current Binding.

SteamVR Input - Editing Bindings.png

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 you'll find a cogwheel on the right side of the input which will bring up dialogue box with input settings.

SteamVR Input - Accessing Input Settings.png

Additional input methods

To use additional input methods such as double click, find the input you'd like to configure and hover over it to click the pencil icon for editing. Next click More Options and then you'll have access to additional input methods besides click.

SteamVR Input - Additional Input Methods.png

Creating new inputs / Control sources

On any of a controller's existing control sources, you can create new inputs with a specific control source modes. To do this, click the plus button to the right of any of the control sources and select a control source mode from the available list.

SteamVR Input - New Control Sources.png

Creating Chords

TODO

Deadzones

To change the deadzones on control sources like Trackpads & Joysticks, open their input settings and adjust the values to your liking. DeadZone is what you'd expect and Max Zone Percentage determines how far from the center of the control source is 100% value.

SteamVR Input - Deadzones.png

Curve Exponent

This exponent value is applied to change how speed scales on the final relative position between the Deadzone and Max Zone. Speed = Value^Exponent

SteamVR Input - Curve Exponent.png

Trigger thresholds

TODO

Changing haptics

Most control sources on the default bindings have an input setting for Haptic Amplitude. To turn haptics off, you'll need to go through every control source input setting on the controller and set Haptic Amplitude to 0. Make sure to also check the control sources in other action sets besides global. If you want to remove the haptics upon hovering over menu items in VRChat, select the Haptics button in the center of the Global action set & change Left/Right Hand Haptics to Unused.

DPAD overlap percentage

TODO

Manual Binding export/import

Due to how Community Bindings sort by usage time, it can be difficult to share a newly created binding with others. Manual methods use a .json file for sharing.

Export

  1. Navigate to bindings Editing page select Export Binding File
  2. Navigate to (Your Documents)\steamvr\input\exports to find the .json file.
  3. Share as needed!

Import

  1. Place the binding .json file in (Your Documents)\steamvr\input\imports (create folder if it doesn't exist)
  2. Navigate to the Bindings config for the app the Binding is for. (VRChat likely in this case)
  3. Select the binding from the list of "Bindings in the documents directory" (You do not need to close SteamVR)

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 in 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

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

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)

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

TODO: GIF navigating to toggle in action menu

Explicit input Gestures only

On controllers with Gesture Activators, such as Index, Open hand is triggered by a lack of input. If you want to only do Explicit gesture inputs on these controllers, you'll need to add the Disable Gesture Tracked Action anywhere to your binds. It doesn't matter where.

Tracking breaking in SteamVR Dashboard

This is due to SteamVR Keyboard privacy introduced in version 2.7 which stops applications from seeing device positions while the Steam keyboard is visible. In SteamVR settings, navigate to Dashboard and set Keyboard Privacy to Disabled.

Hard Bindings reset

In rare cases, a full hard reset of your Bindings for VRChat may help solve unknown issues. Navigating to (username)/Documents/steamvr/input and delete the steam.app.438100_controlType.json of the affected controller type. Restart VRChat to generate new files.


Vive Wands

Advanced Controls

Under the Official Bindings for Vive Controllers you can choose between Default Bindings & Default Advanced Bindings.

Default Vive & Default Advanced Vive vary in gesture control & movement. In Advanced mode, you can click the trackpad to move then release click but continue touching the trackpad to continue moving. Advanced Vive also has a different way of handling gestures with support for soft gesture select behavior.

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 edges of the touchpad. You can adjust the trackpad Deadzones to change this.

Accidental jumping

With a mix of adjustments to Overlap percentage & Deadzones on the Trackpad DPADs, you can restore the pre-Input 2.0 zone for jumping.

Physbone posing with grip

At time of writing (8/30/24) Physbone posing is part to the interact action and there's is no way to restore pre-input 2.0 functionality of pose via Grip without sacrificing other functionalities.

Related Canny

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 Canny

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.


Index

Easier object holding

To make it easier to grab and or harder to drop, find the `Grip` Control Source then look for `Grab` & adjust the input settings. Increasing the Grab Threshold will increase the amount of force you must apply to initially pick up the object and the Release Threshold will change the amount of force it must be less than to drop.

Explicit object dropping

To only drop objects with a specific button add the `Drop` action as an input.

Disabling pose gestures

Add the Disable Gesture Tracked action anywhere controller to disable all skeletal hand pose gestures.

Viveified gestures

Using the Touchpad of Index Controllers for gestures like Vive is possible with SteamVR bindings.

You'll need to migrate over all of the actions and buttons from Vive's setup to Index and add the Disable Gesture Tracked function. Binding File via Github. (See install guide)
