Game Focus Input Mapping (Touch / Vive)
EmuVR also remaps buttons on your Touch / Vive to buttons on a virtual Xbox 360/One controller, so that you can to play your games with them instead of a gamepad.
This layout may seem odd, but it was designed with comfort and convenience in mind for the most common systems, in a way that allows you to press all the face buttons at the same time with one hand.
With this you can dash-jump while charging a shot, if your game needs all those buttons being pressed together.
