Using your 3-DOF controllers does not require any setup, however. It does require you to own the respective headset i.e. If you have GearVR controller then you also need GearVR headset.
To start using your 3-DOF controller with VRIdge, just connect controller with your phone/headset, as you would normally set it up with your AIO headset, and launch VRidge - SteamVR should automatically recognize your controller. All controllers are built differently with various button setups. Most of those hardware buttons are unfortunately unmappable so missing buttons had to be emulated. They are mapped to reflect position of buttons on Vive wand.
Currently supported controllers:
- Vive Focus Controller
- Daydream Controller
- Gear VR Controller
NOTE: Advanced users may want to adjust the threshold where touchpad registers emulated buttons by adjusting EmulatedControllerButtonBoundary line in vridge.cfg. Default threshold is 10% of touchpad.
"EmulatedControllerButtonBoundary": 0.1
Vive Focus Controller

- Sidegrip: Pressing touchpad left or right side
Gear VR / Oculus Go controllers
