Degraded controller performance
If controller tracking performance degrades, gets stuck in position, or disappears completely, try these steps to remedy it:
Bring the controllers in view of the faceplate.
Unplug the faceplate and then plug it in again.
Power cycle both controllers.
Replace the existing batteries with fully charged AAA batteries.
Try moving to a room with different lighting conditions. (Fluorescent lighting and HTC Vive lighthouses are both known to interfere with tracking.)
Flaky Bluetooth pairing
- If bluetooth pairing becomes flaky, power cycle the controller. If this doesn't fix the issue, re-pair the controller.
Battery life
Save battery life on the headset by unplugging the faceplate when not using the headset for extended periods of time. Keeping the experimental 6DoF faceplate plugged into the Mirage Solo significantly reduces the battery life in standby.
Save battery life on the controllers by switching the controllers off when you’re not planning to use them.
