How to Get the Most Out of Your Experience

Once you have everything working, these tips can help you get the most out of your setup:

• Game-Specific Profiles: The KAT Gateway app includes preconfigured profiles for many popular Quest games. Use these as a starting point. If a game doesn't have a profile, you can manually adjust the sensitivity, dead zones, and button mapping to create a custom profile that feels best for you.

• User-Generated Content: The KAT VR community, particularly on forums like Reddit and Discord, is a great resource. You can find user-shared experiences, custom settings for specific games, and workarounds for unique issues.

• Adjusting for Comfort: Experiment with the treadmill's friction. Some users prefer a smoother glide and achieve this with a silicone lubricant or by adjusting their footwear. Others prefer more resistance for a more tactile feel. Find what works for you to reduce fatigue and enhance immersion during long gaming sessions.
