Meta Quest Touch Pro Controllers

Updated: Aug 17, 2024

Overview

On the Meta Quest Touch Pro controller, there are four new input axes: thumb rest force, stylus force, and two index trigger capacitive touch (captouch) axes, curl, and slide.

Key Components

New entries

New entries in Axis1D enum:

PrimaryIndexTriggerCurl    = 0x10,
PrimaryIndexTriggerSlide   = 0x20,
PrimaryThumbRestForce      = 0x40,
PrimaryStylusForce         = 0x80,
SecondaryIndexTriggerCurl  = 0x100,
SecondaryIndexTriggerSlide = 0x200,
SecondaryThumbRestForce    = 0x400,
SecondaryStylusForce       = 0x800,

New entries in RawAxis1D enum:

LIndexTriggerCurl         = 0x10,
LIndexTriggerSlide        = 0x20,
LThumbRestForce           = 0x40,
LStylusForce              = 0x80,
RIndexTriggerCurl         = 0x100,
RIndexTriggerSlide        = 0x200,
RThumbRestForce           = 0x400,
RStylusForce              = 0x800,

For querying the controller state from input axes, please see the OVRInput Usage documentation.

Thumb Rest Force

The thumb rest force axis. Querying the axis returns a floating point value, from 0.0 to 1.0, that expresses the normalized user force applied to the thumb rest, where 0.0 is no pressure, and 1.0 is fully pressed.

Stylus Force

The stylus force axis. The Touch Pro has an optional stylus tip that can be interchanged with the lanyard provided and this tip can detect the pressure value (range from 0.0 to 1.0) and could be used for writing or drawing. Querying the axis returns a floating point value, from 0.0 to 1.0, that expresses various pressure level values for the force applied on the tip, where 0.0 is no pressure, and 1.0 is fully pressed.

Index Trigger Curl (CapTouch)

The trigger’s curl capacitive touch axis. Querying the axis returns a floating point value, from 0.0 to 1.0, that expresses how pointed or curled the user’s finger is, where 0.0 indicates the finger is fully pointed, and 1.0 indicates the finger is flat on the surface.

Index Trigger Slide (CapTouch)

The trigger’s slide capacitive touch axis. Querying the axis returns a floating point value, from 0.0 to 1.0, that expresses how far the user is sliding their index finger along the surface of the trigger, where 0.0 indicates the finger is flat on the surface, and 1.0 indicates the finger is fully drawn back.
