Just in case anyone is still interested in this.
I recently tried it again and could get the motion controllers to work by using this:
https://github.com/rajetic/auto_oculus_touch
There is a script “oculus_touch_air_mouse.ahk” for the tool AutoHotKey (https://autohotkey.com). If you run this it will map the pitch/yaw movements from your motion controller to your mouse movement.
This works really well.
Hint: In the original the movement is only activated if you press the right hand trigger (which conflicts with EdgePeek). If you it to be continously activated without pressing a button just delete the following line from the script:
if GetAxis(AxisHandTriggerRight) > 0.5
