Notes:

There is an Auto-Sprint mod available. I haven’t tested it myself but the description sounds promising:

"This mod will allow you to sprint without having to double tap the analog stick. Your speed will increase from walking to sprinting as you go from the deadzone to full-tilt."

You can find the mod here

Notes:

This flat PC game needs to be modded to work in VR (and can be modded to work with bHaptics and a ProVolver) and works very well with my C2. It has a “dash” feature (like teleport movement as opposed to a faster run speed) that can be bound to the movement Joystick press button in the Gateway by selecting “Run Source” (as in the game) to “Press/Push.” This means once you physically walk at a fast enough speed it will engage the dash movement in game. This is fun but less precise than pushing the dash button on the controller, especially since you cannot specify the speed at which dash activates. However since attacking on beat per this rhythm game is already a lot to think about, it might be easier to set this to press/push. I have a video with gameplay with the C2 on my YouTube channel:

Responsiveness: The game is responsive to the user’s movements with minimal delays or inaccuracies. (3 points)

Sprinting: Sprinting is done by Dashing (1 points)
