[1530] VRC Beta | Controller Menu button useless when using hand tracking
needs more information
tkya
With a SteamVR controller that reports a full skeleton, VRC defaults to hand tracking input behavior. In the 1530 Beta with the new Quick Menu openers, the controller's binding for opening the menu acts as if it were completely disabled.
VRC should still respect the SteamVR controller bindings even though there is hand tracking input. The current behavior in the beta is problematic when using gloves with physical button inputs, for example.
Ideally, hand gesture controls would be disabled via in-game setting or start-up parameter, at least on SteamVR PC, where more exotic hand tracking / input solutions exist.

This affects
any
full-skeletal input glove that had used the "generic" menu button binding for VRChat. UDCap gloves are an example of an affected product.tkya
Update since the changes went live:
Although the original general Menu binding for the controller is non-functional, the individual menu bindings do seem to work
StormRel
needs more information
A few questions:
What are you using as your left and right hand device?
Who manufactures these?

StormRel I'm not sure why the manufacturer of the physical glove matters or what it is. I have a device that enumerates as a controller in SteamVR. This controller has full skeletal input.
In live, I can use the menu button.
In the Beta, I cannot use the menu button.
The menu control bound to a button on the controller in SteamVR bindings, as it would have for any other controller (Touch Plus, Index, etc.)
Nothing else but the version of VRChat has changed.

StormRel I can confirm that this problem also exist on all HTC Headsets using the Vive Streaming Hub (XR Elite + Focus Series). No matter if used wirelessly or with display port. Those headsets can provide full-skeletal input IN ADDITION to normal controller input. However, as tkya has described, this does not work in VRChat, since some bindings (especially the menu) no longer work when seketal input is active. You can even remap it to another button through steam - doesn't matter. Other functions like movement/mute mic, do work. Since the Diver-X gloves are coming out in a couple of days and those provide exactly the same functionality, this problem should be fixed soon...
