OmniControl's Meta Quest page, with the Signal path panel and the two Touch controllers shown at rest

  1. Your Touch controllers

    Both hands, read as one controller.

  2. Your Quest

    Over a Link cable or Air Link, with Meta's PC app running.

  3. OmniControl

    Remaps them, then hands them to your game.

  4. Your game

    Sees an Xbox controller, or keyboard and mouse.

The headset display is left alone, so you can take it off and play on your monitor.

Good controllers, idle when you're not in VR

No new pad to buy and no rebuilding the setup you have.

Meta Quest feature page

  • Two controllers, one pad

    Both hands arrive as a single controller: A, B, X and Y are the face buttons, the triggers are the analog triggers, the grips are the bumpers, the stick clicks are the stick presses, and Menu is Start.

  • An Xbox controller, or keyboard and mouse

    Choose what your game receives. A virtual Xbox controller suits anything with controller support; keyboard and mouse suits games that treat a controller as second class.

    Pro

  • Click the model to rebind

    The pair is drawn as a live 3D model that lights up as you press. Click a control to change what it sends to your game.

  • Setup that checks itself

    Each step ticks as OmniControl sees it done, and a live signal path from headset to game names the link that is broken, if one is.

Set up in six steps

The Meta Quest page in the app walks you through the setup and ticks each step off.

Full setup guide

  1. Install Meta's PC app and sign in

  2. Connect your headset

  3. Turn on Meta Quest in OmniControl

  4. Wake both controllers

  5. Choose what your game sees

  6. Take the headset off and play

If another controller is plugged in, press Use the Quest so it takes the active slot; OmniControl forgets that choice when it closes. The first time you start a game controller, Windows may ask you to restart.

OmniControl
Free to set up and test. Pro to play games with them.
Which headsets work?
It is built for Quest 3 and Quest 3S with their Touch Plus controllers, and tested on a Quest 3. Quest 2 and Quest Pro have not been tested.
Can I use Virtual Desktop, Steam Link or SteamVR?
No. OmniControl reads the controllers through Meta's own PC software, so you need the Meta Horizon Link app (formerly Meta Quest Link) with a Link cable or Air Link.
Doesn't Meta already do this?
Meta's Gamepad Mode and Virtual Desktop can both make Touch controllers act as an Xbox controller. OmniControl is a different tool: it reads the controllers on your PC through Meta's own software, leaves the headset display alone, and gives you full remapping, profiles, and keyboard-and-mouse output. It is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta.
Is it free?
Turning Quest support on, seeing the controllers live and running the setup checks are free. Playing a game with them, as a virtual controller or as keyboard and mouse, needs Pro: $14.99 a month or $74.99 a year.
Will it work in every PC game?
Not every one. It is built for games that accept an Xbox controller or keyboard and mouse. Games that block virtual controllers, and anti-cheat systems that reject them, are not bypassed. Some online games forbid remapping or virtual controllers and can penalise your account for using them, and that risk sits with you as the player, so check a game's rules before you play.

Set your controller up once. Then just play.
