Community research
Public v1.3.0 package has a broad, game-specific tracked-hand conversion and an explicit control map; one current Quest 3 punch regression and limited independent hardware evidence keep the quality at playable.
Evidence checked: Creator README/control table, v1.3.0 release and open issue #5 reviewed; current issue identifies game/mod builds and Quest 3.
Known limitations
- Open issue #5 reports punches do not work on Quest 3 with game v1.1.3 and mod v1.3.0; impact appears control-specific.
- Creator-reported compatibility; one named headset report is not a broad hardware matrix.
- Do not imply PCVR Central has tested it.
