We do not currently have a Vive tracker to check any of these things with.

We do not currently have a Vive Tracker, but are working on sourcing one. Once we've been able to acquire the necessary hardware, we should be able to investigate all of these reports in-depth.

The issue was observed to no longer occur as of SteamVR Beta Build 1.3.16. We tested the Vive Tracker in Beat Saber, the tracker functions perfectly fine as a controller. And there was not any input prompts requiring the user to assign binding for the tracker.
