    Hey everyone,

    Ive been researching a bit to try solve this problem but have come up short.

    I am currently developing with a Pico headset, and on the headset it has a 'confirm' button on the HMD that id like to use as a input action to interact with unity's UI system. That button from what ive seen isnt mapped to any of the default input actions that is part of the system, so therefor cant use it.

    The button maps to 'KeyCode.JoystickButton0', and i was wondering if there is a way to create a wrapper that would allow me to connect KeyCode.JoystickButton0 to a input action that can be used on the XR controllers.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I took a look at the Pico SDK and documentation and it appears as though they have not implemented this button through their SDK. I also don't believe on-headset buttons are part of the OpenXR specification.

    In any case, with that aside, you could try adding an input binding for Joystick Trigger, as there is a good chance it might be mapped to the same input path as JoystickButton0, but allow for it to be used like the other input actions. Unfortunately I don't currently have access to a Pico device to test this theory, so I am curious what you discover.
