If you're sitting down (which I imagine is the enterprise-y use case?) you can just leave it plugged in

how does that work for controllers through?

controller battery life shouldn't be an issue. never was on quest2.

Controllers do full on inside out tracking, each controller being equipped with a snapdragon 662.

They also do not list the battery life anywhere, which is the biggest red flag.

That might be a concern then.

The controllers last a really long time on a single battery. My Quest 2’s batteries are finally getting low and I bought it six months ago.

Plus, they are just a single AA in each controller. Swapping takes like 30 seconds. I use NiMH rechargeables and just swap between a couple of pairs of them whenever necessary.

These use integrated batteries and does full on inside out tracking on each controller, each controller having its own snapdragon 662.

They also do not list how long the controllers last, not found any source mentioning that yet, which is a huge red flag.

Good question, the new controllers have multiple cameras and are doing inside out tracking now, I'd guess that they use a lot more power than the Quest 2 controllers do.

You have to stop using them and let them charge.

Unless they release a proprietary charging cable that is.

They also do not list the battery life anywhere, which is a red flag to me.

It's not a red flag. No console list the battery life of their controllers as they usually last a long time.

>Internal, rechargeable battery with up to 40 hours of battery life per charge. Battery life varies with usage and other factors.
