I honestly don't care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that's split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven't had any luck getting third-party joy-cons to connect. Can anyone recommend me a controller? I've been looking at the HTC Vive controller, does that do what I want? My most played games are PlateUp, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft.

Most vr controllers talk to the units base station as far as I know, so unless you actually want to have a full vr headset that’s probably a very expensive proposition. Wii controllers are also Bluetooth compatible (least with dolphin), you might look into those instead of the joy cons if they would work

WMR controllers connect to Windows directly over Bluetooth

Edit: couldn't find someone doing this on google
