Installing Knuckle Bindings
The first step we are going to take is to install the controller bindings for your Valve Index Knuckle controllers.

1) Start SteamVR and launch DoomVFR

2) Once DoomVFR drops you off at the main menu press the small system button on either one of your knuckle controllers to bring up the SteamVR interface.

3) Choose Edit Controller Bindings -> Custom Bindings/Choose Another

4) Finally browse the shared controller bindings and select the
"Smooth Turning + Jumping on right stick" binding by "Kaleb".

5) Now exit VR.
Overwriting .CFG Files
For the next step in the process we need to overwrite two .cfg files that manage your controller settings in ways that the UI of the game will not allow.

Download the .CFG files here:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/i65t36

overwrite .cfg files in:
\steamapps\common\DOOM VFR\base
and
C:\Users\-yourname-\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM_VFR\base

That's all for this section.
Entering Console Commands
For the final part of this process we need to hop back into VR and launch DoomVFR.

Once you are back in the menu start a new game on the desired difficulty level and pause once you get control of your avatar.

now press the ~ key to open up the console and then use your keyboard to copy paste the following as a single command:

bind STEAMVR_PRIMARY_AXIS2 _lookLeft; bind STEAMVR_PRIMARY_AXIS3 _lookRight; bind STEAMVR_PRIMARY_AXIS4 _jump; bind STEAMVR_PRIMARY_A _weapnext; bind STEAMVR_SECONDARY_A _weapprev

Hit enter and close the console.

Now the new control scheme should be fully functioning!
Be sure to at least keep playing until the next checkpoint so that the game saves the modifications you made.

Enjoy your VR powered demon slaying ;)
Acknowledgements
I'd like to thank Kaleb for making this control scheme in the first place. I hope this guide will help more Index users make use of this amazing experience.

there is no "kaleb" bindings please re-lable the guide or the bindings in workshop so the instructions work as there are far too many "smooth turning" workshop bindings

to those confused, .rar files need to be extracted and then you will be able to see the .cfgs

@Donvermo Can you re-upload RAR file somewhere else as well? Sendspace does not let me download it :(

I have a question about the second section here: What do I do about the fact that the downloaded file is a .rar and not a .cfg file? And also, what two(or just what) specific .cfg files do I overwrite?

Also by overwrite do you mean pasting in text/characters from one file to another, or straight-up deleting the .cfg and replacing it with the downloaded file?

Ah, now it's actually fun. Got myself to retry playing this game only now, found this guide and now it's fun. Too bad you can't two hand weapons, but a big weapon in one hand and a grenade launcher in the other is tasty nonetheless. Thanks a bunch!

@firemonkeyballz I saw a Youtube video on how to make it work the Oculus quest 2. So i know its out there.
