Controllers not showing up in Editor mode
We received our wireless motion controllers and have them hooked up via USB, as bluetooth is unsupported per this link.
The controllers still don't show up for us in Unity playmode, despite the playmode fixes in Build 16251. They do show up when the same code is built out. We are grabbing input with the UnityEngine.XR.WSA.Input.InteractionManager. Are the controllers not yet supported in Unity playmode or are we doing something wrong?
We are running the latest versions: Windows 16251, Driver version 16246, and Unity 2017.2
