  2. Start PSVR2 with the PSVR2 Sense controllers.
  3. Wait until the DualSense controller turns off automatically (unused) to save battery.
  4. The PSVR2 Sense controllers stop working (they are still tracked/visible but do not respond to button presses or pointing).

Beta version 1.8.8.0 partially fixes the issue — disconnecting the DualSense controller no longer affects the VR Sense controllers during flight and movement. However, you still cannot use the VR Sense controllers in the main menu, pause menu, or EFB. You still need to have the DualSense logged in to be able to use the VR controllers in those menus.
