I just wanted to leave this comment somewhere because pairing Vive Trackers can be a nightmare. I had lots of problem pairing a single tracker on a specific PC and headset (I have several PC+Vive setups, and the tracker would pair just fine on all of them, except one). This procedure allowed me to pair the tracker: 1. I unpaired all the devices using the instructions above (I cannot be sure if this was necessary or not. Maybe steps 2 and 3 would be enough). 2. I connected the Tracker via USB to the PC. This way, the tracker appears on SteamVR's detected devices. 3. I then disconnected the USB cable from the tracker, and immediately after, I right-clicked on the tracker icon and selected "Pair Tracker" And boom, it paired. I'm currently pairing the tracker with the headset, but its possible that this trick also works with the dongle. Hope this helps someone.

, thats very sad! I see tons of applications where it makes sense to use the controllers without the headset! I am building a tracked camera rig for volumetric capture using the controllers. Its very cumbersome to have the headset connected all the time. However, I may be able to cope with it if I find out a way to de-activate the headset as a main camera in unity, and use a standard camera instead. Is this possible? I have tried to delete the Camera (head) object in camera rig with no success...

Hi, I read here that it is possible to use HTC Controllers without the headset. Its not working for me. Do the controllers communicate via Bluetooth? Mi PC does not have bluetooth, so it could be that. Any clues?
