For the absolute life of me I cannot figure out why my right index controller keeps randomly disconnecting. Whenever I play any vr game, absolutley randomly, my right index controller will freeze in the air. The only fix is turning it off and on again, which only works for a minute or so. I made 2 other posts about this earlier, https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/s/4GWWMnqdq9 and https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/s/EUpi5G2Gl3 , but absolutely nothing worked (The issue in the first reddit post with the tracking issues for both controllers was fixed). I covered all the reflections, the right controller still disconnected. I turned off haptics, the right controller still disconnected. I ran the unpair command, the right controller still disconnected. I reached out to steam support with my issue, they told me to fuck off. IFixit does not seem to have any guides for this issue. Could this be an issue with using a vive pro with the index controllers? At this point do I just buy a new controller?

Edit: I bought a quest 3

My right index controller, and only that one controller will randomly lose tracking and either teleport to the floor or in the last position it was in, and it won't move. All the inputs work, but it does not move until I reset the controller. The light stays green and it stays connected in steamvr. I've unplugged all my dongles, I switched to a usb hub with less ports. I'm almost sure it isn't a regular tracking issue. I use a vive pro, index controllers, and 2 valve 2.0 base stations. This happens in every game. I can't attach videos here, but heres my other post with a video https://www.reddit.com/r/VRGaming/s/QhVU4nQVpM

While playing any game, after a few minutes my right controller freezes in the air and won't move until I turn the controller off and on again, only for it to happen again a minute later. I asked steam support, and they told me to factory reset the controller, which does nothing.

Original order date was september 2026

Previously, I'ved owned a 3s, a varjo aero, and a vive pro. I didn't hate the 3s, but I wanted to upgrade to a "real" pcvr headset with base stations and valve knuckles. The aero turned out to be shit, so I switched to a vive pro, which I loved, but for the life of me I cannot get the tracking to work. I'd want the quest 3 for the lenses, the quest pro for the lenses and qled panel, and the psvr2 for the oled panel, highest fov of my choices, haptics, and controller. The biggest issues I have with buying a psvr2 would be the mura and the cable. My issues with the quest headsets would be the controllers and software. The controllers aren't that bad, but I'd want something with more substance. I can also remember the software being annoying to use. All I would do is gaming, so blade and sorcery, bonelab, skyrim, etc.
