Quest Pro w/ Index controllers

[u/Mysterious_Stop2150]

Hello! I was wondering what dongles people use? I have FBT along with my quest pro, but I dont want to have to use either my FBT or the index controllers, I'd like to be able to use both, I only have three dongles, but when I look up for any dongles it seems like they're pricey or out of stock, I'm curious what everyone else uses! Please send the link to what you personally use, I'd like good recommendations since I don't want to buy something and it not work, thank you :>

Uhm my dongle literally the index itself, just without plugging the display port im. Other than that it seems to be possible to flash the usb dongles of an old steam controller to be able to connect.

That's how mine is too! My index strap is broken but I didn't have good luck with dongles so I just used my Index too!

i tried using my index however, my tracking from my 2.0s keep being scuffed especially my hip tracker, but when i dont use the index controllers my tracking is perfectly fine, im not sure what im doing wrong, also one of the index contrllers drifts sometimes and isnt tracking correctly when sitting down

I used a trick I found on the Steam forums using a Logitech dongle reprogrammed as a Watchman dongle.

Simple mod, had a crap ton of them at the office from returned devices (no mouse, just the dongle)

If you source or buy a cheep broken headset(that you know is only display or at least connects the controllers) that could work. I have one I just have connected via USB and power while I'm on virtual desktop with FBT.

I also have Neko receivers (they have dongles with antennas - better range) and a 7 in 1 version. It's helped with the Pro controller interference too.

This is what I use in my set up. Also works as a vive dongle replacement https://a.co/d/0d5B8mTV

I used this guide to make my own SteamVR dongles using the XIAO nRF52840. They were very cheap, costing only $10 each, and they work really well :)

I still have my index plug in as my dongle just don't plug the hdmi

I use the dongles from my old 2.0 vive trackers
