You do have a controller for oculus go and it works quite well if you're not moving.

It's only one controller that can only wiggle.

you'd be surprised how much you can do with it. Try Virtual Virtual Reality, it just feels like you can freely movie it. The illusion is strong.

I've tried it all. VVR was okay for like a few minutes. I didn't feel any illusion, flipping a pancake and such still felt like a wiggler. It's not just "feeling" like being able to move it, 6DoF enables an entire class of interactions that is impossible on 3DoF (e.g., having your hand doing something even if you're not looking at it).
