Working on setting up my controllers. I know one end of the USB cable goes into my controller. Do there other ends go into the computer or is that how I charge them via the computer or wall socket with a USB wall adapter?

Can charge from computer USB port. Also used for firmware updating them. Vive or index controller? Probably can use a phone charger unit to charge them if you can plug your USB cable into it

The pimax program should guide you through setup for first use
