Requirements for software
To use the Oculus Link, the Oculus PC app is required. Once you download the PC app, just make sure that the Oculus PC software version is updated and that the latest operating system is being run by Quest.
Using rechargeable batteries, AAs
Any battery will be accepted by Quest 2 controllers that will fit right in AA size standard and offers the correct voltage. As such, your options for alternatives to the rechargeable are many. If you prefer, you can select NiMH or Nickel-metal Hydride batteries with an external charger to power the controllers. Most of the controller charges four batteries at one go in sets of 2. So, buying four NiMH batteries and charging them will suffice. So, if you have exhausted a pair of batteries, you can swap the other two as well.
A dedicated charger might not be convenient, so buying lithium AA batteries using USB power helps. Few of them are also equipped with a cap that opens up into a USB-A port, and others are equipped with a port in each battery so that it can be charged with a cable.
