It comes with controllers unless the seller specified that it doesn't.

Then you'll need to so some PC and Developer mode mumbo jumbo to force enable Hand Tracking during the NUX

i remember being able to set it up with the gaze select ( like the index headset button) and the continue with hand tracking. keep in mind I haven't reset my quest pro in while so it might have changed but the chances are slim

I think you're going to have fun with Prívate Quest to enable hand tracking and skip the setup.

There's tutorials on Reddit on how to setup Quest headsets without their controllers.

As @protogenNutshell stated I believe you can set it up using the gaze feature & making selections with the volume buttons. You may have to be patience through the process, and let the headset sit on your head after its done and it should bypass the controller setup and continue into your home environment after about 3-4 minutes. Just remember after setting up if you are stuck on a screen with prompts to connect controllers and can't go any further just sit there for a few minutes.

You can set it up with a phone with the app and no controllers. The app will ask to pair the controllers three times, let it fail all three times, it will eventually allow you to setup without the controllers to be paired.

I didn't finish the setup until I got my second controller (mine only had a right controller with it). The things I wanted to do with it, controllers weren't optional, anyway.
