No way to turn off XInput device in Oculus Home/Dash

Anonymous

It just baffles my mind how this feature is still not implemented. When Home 2.0 rolled out I understood that the software was still rough around the edges and eventually they'd figure that ANY flatscreen gaming streamed via Oculus Desktop becomes completely unfeasible when dash or home intercepts all your gamepad inputs and spams you will opening/closing windows, changing focus and unnecessary mouse clicks when you try to play with no way of turning that off. I've seen numerous threads about this problem and none of them are answered. Ugly cursor that aligns with your centre of view is definitely not helping either.

Just imagine throwing all the potential of playing any non-vr game in vr out of the window by not having a simple off switch.

This would be great.  Disabling the Xbox controller in this window means we can play games on a responsive 20 foot virtual screen.  I was enjoying some GTA and Jedi Fallen order, but whenever I use the trigger button the window resizes.
When I bring up the in game maps, the Oculus overlay menu appears over my damn screen.

I'm stunned that there isn't a disable option here.

I was curious if it would work, so I just tried adding an xbox controller disable to Oculus Injector. It works if you use it to start the oculus desktop software. I was just playing Gunroar (a twin stick shooter) in a giant window in VR without Dash acknowledging there was an xbox controller in use.

I should probably get this thing ready for release soon. 🙂
