Using FlipVR with the Monado OpenXR Runtime#

Monado can detect and use FlipVR controllers when using Monado’s steamvr_lh driver.

  1. Install the Shiftall Controller Driver from Steam if you haven’t already.
  2. Link or copy the drivers to SteamVR.

  • Option A. If everything is in the default locations, create a symlink:

    ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Shiftall\ Controller\ Drivers ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/shiftall

    You can check if the symlink is active by running

    ls -l ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/shiftall

    Note: you can only create a symlink if you hadn’t copied those files before. If you had, remove them first:

    rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/shiftall

  • Option B. Copy the contents of the “Shiftall Controller Drivers” folder to SteamVR’s driver folder. The target directory must be named shiftall.

If everything went correctly, you should now have working FlipVR controllers through Monado.
