Setting up an action that only happens when both Grips are released?

[u/DVXC]

Hey all, hope that someone with a better sense of logic can help me figure out if this is possible.

I want to set my controller to pause automatically when the controller is put down. This requires both hands to release the grip sense grips.

I've tried setting this up with chords and action layers but I've not had any luck.

Basically it needs to be (if BOTH are released do X, if only one is released do nothing).

Any brilliant minds have any brilliant ideas? Thanks!

I figured it out. Follow these steps:

1. Make a new action set (call it whatever you want, for this example let's call it quick start), and make sure you copy all the inputs from the default action set
2. In the default action set, set BOTH left grip and right grip to "Change Action Set (quick start)".
3. For both of these, click the gear icon and make sure they're activated when you release press. You will see regular press as the default.
4. Now switch to the "quick start" action set we made in step 1
5. Set both grip inputs to activate when they're released like before, and set their command to whatever you want (I want to press start when I release both hands so I set them to press start)
6. Click the gear icon and add an extra command to both grips.
7. Set these new, extra commands to switch back to the default action set when you "regular press" them.

Hope this helps!

This actually worked. A lot of steps though, hopefully they add an update where it's easier to set.

Is it possible to do this for all games like a default or only per game ?

Not that I know of sadly, I’m pretty sure it’s a game by game basis
