title: daydream-controls type: components layout: docs parent_section: components source_code: src/components/daydream-controls.js
The daydream-controls component interfaces with the Google Daydream controllers. It wraps the tracked-controls component while adding button mappings, events, and a Daydream controller model that highlights the touched and/or pressed buttons (trackpad).
As a first time set up, to use the Daydream controller on Chrome for Android enable both WebVR
and Gamepad Extensions
experiments in chrome://flags
and relaunch the browser.
Then, open your web app, enter VR mode and place the phone inside the headset. It can occassionally take a few seconds before the controller can be used.
