Something very similar could be made in the Rift to do this exact thing. The Logitech Game Controllers/Keyboard application for remapping keys on their products is a great example of a starting point to do this in my opinion. Having my hands to the sides rather than directly in front of me is quite comfortable). I find the Touch controllers to be more comfortable than the Xbox controller (I'm actually not a fan of any console's controller really, but the Touch is nice. There are tons of games out there that would work just fine in VR if we were just able to map button X with any keyboard button.

I know the game developer could make it work that way if they wanted to as well, but why limit it to only the game developer. Could easily have the same inputs on just your right hand Touch controller. It's a VR game that uses only like 2-3 buttons and 1 analog stick on the Xbox controller. I'll use The Vanishing of Ethan Carter as an example. But there are plenty of games that don't use all 12 buttons and just don't need the tracking part at all. I know the Xbox controller has 12 buttons and 2 analog sticks, and the Touch only has 8 buttons and 2 analog sticks. I dislike so far that if a game isn't designed to work for them they don't function at all, this is a large negative for me. But got them anyway, and I do really like them, for the games that are made for them anyway. Did a lot of searching before they came out and couldn't find anything on it at all. This is actually a feature that I was hoping would be a default part of the Touch setup when it was released. TL DR: I'm just wondering if a future patch/update for the Rift will have menu options to allow us to map the Touch buttons to keys on the keyboard.
