Hello, Im sorry you are experiencing this. Please bear in mind that the game is not fully developed, so the full version of the game is still not complete and there are issues caused by the development in progress. This been said, the interaction with the console buttons should be working fine on the current version. To interact in Desktop mode get close to a console and press E to activate it. To interact in VR mode get in front of a console, pull the joystick down to bring the UI pointer and press trigger to activate it.
On a later version VR has been improved, so some of this confusing issues will be over.
Thanks for your feedback, I hope this helps, let me know!
