Can't use mouse to control the cursor in VR
« on: May 10, 2026, 04:17:21 PM »
Previously played with G2 via windows mixed reality portal - i could use mouse normally to control the cursor.
Just upgraded to Bigscreen Beyond 2e ( its f.....g fabiolous) via steamvr - i can't use the mouse - i need to control the coursor with my head, and it is located so low i need to move my head way back to do anything. How do i "unbind" it from the headset ? I tried disabling mouse control but that didn't do it :( Is it in steamvr somewhere ?

View seems to be centered around the location of the dot, which being low means each "zooming" requires head to be moved up a lot just to see the same spot...

Any ideas ?

That is how it works with the quest2. The pointer aka "ball" is on screen when you bring up the notepad. Point your nose to what you want to click and either click the mouse button, or map a couple buttons on your stick as mouse buttons. I know of no way in game to switch to mouse use. Only option would be in the VR software to do it IF it is possible.

Make you have “center vr” or track ir can’t remember exactly what it is called programmed because you will need to re-center your view occasionally

You should be able to grab the corner of the clipboard with your vr mouse ball dot and drag it to a spot more in front of you..

yeah, i have that mapped, but seems that "mouse ball" stays in same location, like below my jaw line.... makes it really weird to move things i need on eyes level...

Scoot down in your set and press center...

That should raise your pov up when you are seated upright..
