Oculus Go: How to use PS4, Xbox One, and Switch controllers

The Oculus Go is a wonderful VR headset that’s easy to jump into with a great motion controller to play games with. But, sometimes, you just can’t beat the response and control afforded by a proper gamepad.Oculus Go allows you to connect a more traditional controller via Bluetooth. But, don’t worry, you don’t have to buy some expensive new bit of kit to access controller-based games; you may already have one sitting in your living room.That’s right, PS4, Switch and (some) Xbox One controllers can all be linked up with your Go. But how exactly do you do that and what can you do with them? Check our handy guide below for all you need to know.The first thing to do is get your Go set up on a smartphone, which you’ve probably already done. Download the free Oculus app from the iOS or Android app stores, open it up, and find settings on the bottom right. From here, you’ll be able to pair your Go with your phone by selecting ‘Pair New Headset’. Oculus has prepared its own snazzy step-by-step walkthrough to guide you through that process that you can’t go wrong with.Now for the important bit. Back in settings, select your Go headset (it’ll need to be on) to open a drop-down menu. Here you’ll find a ‘Controller’ option. Press that and you’ll come to another menu that will list any already-connected devices, including your motion controller. It’s “Pair New Controller” that we want; pressing that will bring you to a blank screen that awaits a connection with your chosen device. What you do next depends on the controller you want to pair.
