    It was a while ago, but I think it stopped operating normally for my wife’s account, and I had issues adding myself as a second user (not the device owner) with dev access.

    The nonsense where I had to get permission from meta to take control of my own hardware was utterly absurd. It was 1000x harder than tapping a button 8 times.

      Not defending Meta at all, but I think I just had to check a box on their developer portal signed in to my account?

      Anyway, I’m right there with you on picking up whatever valve has cooked up as soon as they announce something!

        To check that box, you first need to sign up to the developer portal and pair the headset to your account. It wasn’t even my headset. I just wanted to connect it to Steam on my PC.

        In future, I would be looking into something that behaves more like a peripheral device. It should be no harder to connect than a gamepad.
