Need 6DoF controllers for "Vanilla" Vive Focus

[knoble]

I need 6DoF controllers for the Vive Focus.

 

Are the Focus Plus or the Focus 3 controllers compatible with the Vive Focus?

Or are there any other controllers that would be compatible?

 

Thanks!

I need controllers too.

of anything that will get me past the initial screen of trying to connect controller.  I think if we can enable developer mode, we could install support for other controllers.  like Xbox gamepad.

when I talked to support, they said it was end of life product and they couldn't help with anything.  they said there were no other controllers compatible.  I call bullshit.  the person helping me needed to talk to their supervisor.  came back with zero answers.  I'm not a programmer, but i am sure there is a way to get around this.  its crap that the headset is bricked because they don't want to support it.  I have been trying to learn about programming.  slow going.  I will start buying controllers from other headsets.  see if I can make anything work.

@jester1068 it appears that there is special hardware in the vive focus plus that supports the 6DoF controllers. The vanilla vive doesn't have this.

Thank you for the answer.

Looks like the original focus developers kit is just a brick.  There is no availability of controllers anywhere In the world that I can find.  I have scoured different Chinese marketplaces, worldwide Google search, any and every market I can find, I have checked.  And I suppose there is no tricks to use the SD card to force and software changes to it since there is no way to enable developer mode.  I have tried alot of things and find it difficult to admit defeat.  I guess the only thing left to do is take it apart and see what is inside then take it target practicing.
