        You can mix controllers and headsets in SteamVR, right? At least if you’re tethered or “streaming” or whatever from Steam on PC, I imagine you could use this plus an existing pair of lighthouse driven controllers if you really wanted to. If you can’t out of the box, I expect it to take about twelve seconds for motivated nerds to figure out how to force it into happening.

        I obviously wouldn’t hold your breath for that being a thing when you’re using it as a standalone device.
