+Cocoa Puffs, I use both the steelseries Stratus XL for Android (make sure you don't accidentally get the kind for iPhones) *and* the Gear VR controller. I have an S7 Edge and the older white Gear VR, and once I updated my phone's software, I downloaded the patch for the controller.
It sucks that it cannot be used as regular bluetooth gamepad for non-vr games. It's quite comfortable to hold and would be nice to have 2in1 for traveling instead of carrying another gamepad.
Yea I just got the new Gear VR with controller promo for the S8 plus. I previously had the white one I used. I would also warn people to check that adapter and make sure that latch stays locked. Long story short mine didn't and my S7 edge dropped out it the ground and cracked the screen. Sammy kept saying the S7 edge screen isn't covered under regular warranty. They wouldn't even exchange the VR. I sent them pics and video but made no difference to them.
Lots of games at this time. The controller is absolutely necessary for some games. Using the buttons and trackpad on the headset alone is a pain, but doable..
Questions: Last year I returned another brand VR equipment. I was frustrated. Except when watching my 55" TV, I wear glasses. I couldn't find the right adjustment to go with my vision. I'm a bit farsighted with 1 eye & a bit nearsighted with the other. Does this product give me enough control over that? 2nd: I'm hearing impaired. I use Bluetooth headsets to listen to all my devices. Does this have a Bluetooth option?
Hi guys! How often do you re-orient the controller with the "home long press"? I have to do it every minute or two, because the controller looses center position quite often... :-/
Bence Kovács I don't have to recalibrate it that often but it's definitely in need of better calibration. Since the S8 is utilizing BT 5.0, quadrupling the range, it may just need software updates. I get some drift watching stuff but for gaming it definitely is distracting and breaks the immersion. Unfortunately the other options don't seem to be much all that much better when controllers run $70+.
Where can i get an MICRO USB device holder or micro usb adapter that holds the phone and connects to the gear vr. I have the type-c but i need the micro usb since i dont have a type-c phone. I also have the charge cable for the gear vr just a bit info so if any knows what im talking about can tell me where i can find what im looking for.
I've got a $80 controller for Gear VR and tried to watch the Blade Runner App with it and at the start the app asking to connect the controller. I already have connected my game controller. so apps with samsung controller wont work with other "normal" controllers?
It's the worst controller when it comes to connecting. Right when I connect it disconnects after 10 seconds after 15 tries of connecting it stayed connected but didn't want to calibrate
Still waiting for a game that'll utilize the controller as a "flashlight". You point it where you want it while you explore scary shit. CMON WE NEED FLASHLIGHTS
cant you just get a third party bluetooth controller, i mean i know it wont work in the apps designed for the gear vr controller and as a pointing device, but it would work fine in games and such
Eli George No, the cover is there to protect the lenses from dust, debris when the phone is not in use. The clips to hold the phone seem pretty strong. As far as my experience goes there's not a lot of looking down combined with jumping up & down, the only real scenario I could see the phone coming loose during use. Although I haven't tried shaking the VR headset with the phone in it and not planning to either. It is adjustable to fit the larger S8+ as well as smaller phones and the right clip with the usb c port can be switched out to a usb micro.
Now with metas Horizons os is available for third parties, I could see gearvr being reborn, I had a gearvr and upgraded to q2 and there's really no huge difference except the better games but for media gearvr was a lot of fun. I definitely see it could make a comeback especially now with way more eyes on vr ar. 👀
With the S8 & soon Note 8 Samsung needs to step there VR game up cuz the tech is there we just need REAL GAME MAKERS with real budgets making games!! Dude when I put my 2016 Gear VR on with my S8(Free remote Gear VR havent came yet)the picture is super clean! I been using the Gear VR sence the S6 & hands down the S8 is the best!! So now that we have a clear screen now SHOW ME THE GAMES!!!!!
Still no answer on the putting the phone unscrew the USB for Mac USB and if my phone doesn't fit there will loose a lot of business ,scienceteacher I just curious
Bertrand Escano Yes but that also doubles the price of entry. At $40 you could alternatively buy a 2 handed game controller for a little more money or try using PS4/XB1. Or even Oculus' own right/left controllers although there may be compatibility issues with certain options.
Brian Watson I would prefer to use 2 wireless motion controllers as that's what the whole VR experience is about. I believe if the hardware is there the apps will follow. but I get the money marketing strategy, eventually 2 will be available, but it just looks like Samsung is just catching up with daydream. I've looked into Oculus' "touch" controllers, they are meant to pair with a PC, not as simple as Bluetooth pair and go
I can confirm that the new Gear VR wireless controller *does* work with the S7 Edge and the white Gear VR, but I had to update my phone's software first so I could download the patch.
Hello! A long time ago, I owned a 1st model gear vr with my galaxy s6 edge. I got rid of it because it kept overheating. Does anyone know if the latest version of the gear vr has overheating problems? I have a galaxy s9. Does the headset cause battery life issues? If anyone can get back to me on this, that would be great!
The fact that his name is Stephen S. And I just recently watched Dr. Strange is weird lol.
🤣how this make sense a year later
Thank you. You have been the only one to be able to tell me the controller is compatible with the 2016 model
controllers are a must have for any vr application imo even cardboard apps. gazing to select or tapping your headset it's just too annoying
Sayo Manzini do you know if you can use any controller with any vr headset?
+Cocoa Puffs, I use both the steelseries Stratus XL for Android (make sure you don't accidentally get the kind for iPhones) *and* the Gear VR controller. I have an S7 Edge and the older white Gear VR, and once I updated my phone's software, I downloaded the patch for the controller.
how do you update and also does the controller work with the earlier headsets
M2gamesandvlogs, Go to Settings > System Updates > Download updates manually.
Tapping wouldn't be so bad. The gazing is too slow i agree
the controller is amazing a must have for gear vr owners !!
What does the controller do for ky galaxy s8+?
Can i play games?
Does the controller work with gear vr 2016?

Does it word for samsung galazy a52?
Do you have to use a Samsung phone? We have an iPhone 5s and we're wondering if it will work with that
looks like a small vive controller lol
or an oculus rift
Well samsung vr is made by oculus so...
Looks like a Dil...
@@jebwaters2291 no, its looks nothing like the oculus controller
Yeah
Okay honestly this looks like a cool concept but what can I really use this for? Are the gaming Good? What else? Is it worth purchasing one?
Lots of games at this time. The controller is absolutely necessary for some games. Using the buttons and trackpad on the headset alone is a pain, but doable..
How will this work with bigger and more recent phones like the Samsung note 10 lite?
Look at the size of the 8 and see the difference between both. Also get a Better VR headset than this. Lol.
Are you able to connect 2 controllers at the same time to it?
Is Rec room one of them
Dos not work on the a52 samsong wtf

can you use this controller with an oculus go? Like, can you have the go controller and this controller at the same time?
No
Does the controller connect to the headset or the phone?
It connects to the phone since the headset is just an extension
Does this work with any generic VR goggles and non samsung phones? I have a one plus 3
