===Traditional Controls===
One wireless Oculus Touch is held in each hand. 2 Oculus Touch controllers are designed to operate simultaneously. Some of the controller's features are similar to a traditional gamepad. It has 1 analog stick and 2 buttons on top. Additionally, it has 2 triggers, 1 for the index finger located in front and 1 for the middle finger on the side.

===Tracking===
===Tracking===
Oculus Touch achieves low latency, 6[[DOF]] tracking through the same system as the [[Rift]] headset. IR LEDs are placed on the controllers' bodies and rings, allowing them to be tracked by the same [[positional tracking sensor]] that tracks the [[HMD]]. In addition to [[positional tracking]], controllers possess built-in [[IMU]]s that allow [[rotational tracking]].

The user grips the controller similar to a combination of shaking some's hand and making a loose fist. Your thumb is placed on top of the controller and handles the analog stick and 2 buttons.
