The Oculus Quest 2 comes with its own set of motion controllers.
There are no third- or even first-party motion controller alternatives.
Even the previous generations of Oculus motion controllers are not compatible.
An option allows you to use your hands as controllers; however, many apps dont support this.
Realistically, its very fiddly.
Gamepads have long been a trendy way to play games, thanks to their versatility and comfort.
Wired controllers, controllers with USB dongles, and controllers that dont support Bluetooth 3.0 or higher arent supported.
The second important thing to know is that very few games provide gamepad support.
The vast majority of games on the Quest 2 require you to use the standard motion controllers.
Thats not to say connecting a gamepad will be useless, though.
There are a small number of games that do support gamepads.
If you want, you might even pair a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse.
There are two ways to pair your Bluetooth gamepad with your headset.
you’re free to either do it in the headset itself or via the Oculus mobile app.
