Hardware and product care

Updating controller firmware

From your computer, open the SteamVR app.

If you see the

icon, mouse over it to check if the firmware is out of date. If so, click

Update controller firmware.

Using a micro-USB cable, connect the controllers to one of your computer's USB ports

one at time.

Once the controller is detected by the SteamVR app, the firmware update will start

automatically.

Do not unplug the micro-USB cable any time before the firmware update is complete. Doing

so could result in a firmware error.

When the update is complete, click Done.
