If you’re new to Oculus Quest 2, you might wonder how to hold the controller correctly due to its unique ring shape. Although it may seem confusing, it is not.
Place your index finger over the trigger button while your middle finger rests on the grip button, and your thumb should be placed on the upper side of the controller so that you can press three buttons (A/X, B/Y, Menu) and the thumbstick. In order to hold the controller tightly, you need to use your ring and pinky fingers.
You must hold the controller properly for a better VR experience. From what I understand, the Oculus Quest 2 controllers are easy to hold. To operate the five buttons and thumbstick on the controller, use your thumb, middle, and index fingers.
