VR controller support is still really poor

Agreed.

Currently on my Reverb G2 Controller, I get haptic feedback when the laser pointer is over a knob and the knob turns blue.

However I get no haptic feedback when I press the trigger to interact with the knob.

Personally I feel it should be the other way around. I should feel the haptic feedback not when an instrument or knob turns blue but when I interact with it.
