This way you can exclude some hardware failure. So, the first thing to do if the various reboots didn’t work is trying opening a SteamVR game and see if there the controllers work (you can see and move them). This confirmed that I had some problems with SteamVR installation and was not a matter of hardware. ASUS HyStream.
