Is it normal that only one sensor is listed under devices in the Oculus software when you have two of them installed, one for the Rift headset and one for the Touch controllers? Yet both of them are listed with status OK in Windows Device Manager.
Physically unplugging a sensor and then plugging it back of course is an option but when you have the sensor plugged in at the backside of your computer I personally find it far more easy to simply restart a service.
Then regardless what method you prefer I guess most would agree you shouldn't need to use any of these methods.
I have no other hardware requiring to be unplugged every now and then like this and I would like to think this is not how the developers at Oculus intended it to work.
