I know “it works”, but I’m wondering how it works? I know you can connect it over Bluetooth and use it as a normal controller, but does it work like a VR controller? I read that it has the necessary LEDs but they’re obviously completely invisible. I haven’t seen anyone use it this way, despite all my searching. I would like to be able to navigate the Frame UI without switching to the other controllers…

    You should be able to use most of the Frame UI with it. Much to my surprise the Frame controllers themselves default to gamepad mode for the UI. You explicitly have to activate the laser mouse, which is mildly annoying.

    So you should be able to control most of the stuff except for window positioning and size.

    Hmm, haven’t tried if the touchpads can be used as a global mouse. Probably not at the moment.

    The tracked controller portion of it is not in yet, the hardware exists but they haven’t done the software support for it (from a valve interview somewhat recently), and I can confirm that is true directly.

    It works as a gamepad, I haven’t yet figured out if you can do some of the pointer actions through any other shortcut, but for games and streaming games it works well in Bluetooth mode.
