If the side flipper buttons do not work when playing Star Wars Pinball VR on Meta Quest using the Gen2 Wireless Dongle, this is expected behavior until the in-game control setting is adjusted.


This is not a firmware issue and does not require remapping or any hardware changes.

Cause


By default, Star Wars Pinball VR assigns flippers to LT / RT, which do not map to the physical side flipper buttons on the Arcade2TV-XR.


In addition, the LT / RT options will only appear in the TV screen control menu if you are actively navigating the game using the Arcade2TV-XR controller.

Solution (Required In-Game Setting Change)


⚠️ Important:

You must use the Arcade2TV-XR controller to walk and navigate inside the game before changing this setting.


Controller navigation requirements


Use the following controls on the Arcade2TV-XR:

  • Left joystick – Move / walk

  • Right joystick – Look / rotate view

  • ABXY buttons – Menu interaction and selection

This ensures the correct controller profile is active and allows LT / RT to appear in the TV screen options.

Steps

  1. Launch Star Wars Pinball VR on your Meta Quest.

  2. Using the Arcade2TV-XR controller (not Quest controllers):

    • Walk up to the TV screen inside the game environment.

  3. Open Options.

  4. Go to Control Customization.

  5. Change the flipper controls from:

    • LT / RT

    • → LB / RB

  6. Confirm and exit the menu.

Result


Once this change is applied:

  • The physical side flipper buttons on the Arcade2TV-XR will work correctly.

  • No restart, re-pairing, or firmware update is required.

Notes

  • This setting is specific to Star Wars Pinball VR.

  • Other pinball titles (such as Pinball FX VR) do not require this adjustment.

  • The selected control layout is saved by the game and will persist for future sessions.
