The public SteamVR beta has limited support for Oculus Touch, so we've also added support for the Beta version.
Steam VR Public Features The default layout is limited by the current public version of Steam VR. The Y and B buttons are used for the Steam overlay. A and X are used for menus. The grip button changes the weapon.
Steam VR Beta Features If you install the Steam VR Beta version, turn on the Steam VR Beta option in the options panel. Steam has moved the Steam Overlay to the left menu button. That allows us to use the Y and B buttons for menus, and A and X buttons for switching weapons. The Steam VR beta also enables haptic feedback.
How to get the Steam VR Beta To opt-in to the SteamVR Beta branch, right-click on SteamVR in your Steam Library and choose Properties. Go to the Beta tab and choose "beta - SteamVR Beta Update" from the drop-down. If SteamVR is turned off, it will update with the beta. To turn return to the normal version, follow the same process, but choose "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs".
Once the the new SteamVR update has been release out of beta, we release an update to make that the standard choice.
