Steve Riggins<p>I have successfully paired the PSvr2 controllers to the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VisionPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VisionPro</span></a>. The PS button acts as the crown button the trigger works as tap the stick scrolls. There is no pointer from the controller yet.</p><p>Clicking with the controller and dragging the text cursor around with the controller just using the trigger is vastly superior to the finger interface.</p>

Dan Bricklin<p>Last year I speculated about Apple adding spatial pen input to <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/VisionPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VisionPro</span></a>. Today they announced it. The API that supports game controllers also supports the Logitech Muse pen (coming later this year). See this developer video of a 3D sculpting app with fine control: <a href="https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/289/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">developer.apple.com/videos/pla</span><span class="invisible">y/wwdc2025/289/</span></a> . It has position, buttons, and haptics (Yay!). VisionOS can figure out which hand you are holding it in to help you position toolbars.

Continued thread

The metro UI was a forced major interface change that was terrible experience on Windows (8). It was put in place to bootstrap a mobile app ecosystem for Windows Phone at the expense of Widows (desktop) users.

What #Apple is doing is more benign, mostly altering the appearance in a fairly minor way (afaik). However, they are doing it so that apps designed for #iOS and #macOS default to being compatible with #visionOS with little to no extra effort by app developers. That is, bootstrapping the ecosystem on that platform. That’s the similarity to Metro.

The question is how much of a setback in usability and appearance will this be for iOS and macOS users for the benefit of this goal. We’ve already seen a big regression in Mac apps for iOS convergence. And what happens if #VisionPro continues to flop and we all forget about it, but we’re stuck with its design language?
