This mod supports the following play styles
There are options to reverse the directions of each saber allowing for Reverse Style play.
Two controller mode allows you to play Darth Maul without a stick, or use two trackers mounted on a stick to play a proper staff style Darth Maul. You can also use one controller or one tracker to play one handed Darth Maul. Reverse the Maul direction for those who wish to have the left saber facing left in one controller mode.
An option allows you to use both triggers to separate the Darth Maul sabers in two controller mode, or one trigger in one controller mode. Increase or decrease the separation amount to widen or narrow the Darth Maul saber positions.

Play with one controller or tracker mounted on a stick for spear-like play. Or use the Two Controller mode to play with a virtual spear drawn between both controllers. Use the trigger to switch the controller to be the 'front' hand. The spear can hit any notes of any color.
Swing a simulated two segment nunchaku! You only need to use two controllers! Use the trigger to hold the nunchaku in that hand or press both triggers to hold both segments in each hand.
You only need two controllers! Swing the saber around on a chain like a flail without hitting yourself! Longer chains are harder to swing and control while shorter chains allow for less of a full arm swing.
This functionality was broken by Beat Saber 1.12. It may be restored one day.
You can now choose which trackers to use for Beat Saber, Darth Maul and Beat Spear without the need for OpenVR Input Emulator. You can also adjust the position and rotation of the saber for when using these trackers.
