Did you solve this? I just got the Index, and think I need to do this in some games. So seems smarter to do a global reset.

If no success yet, I'm guessing there's some place in your windows User profile where it saves your settings, which doesn't uninstall. Just a guess, but if you find it and delete that folder, should then be a global fix maybe?

Please share your success or failure. thanks.

i ended up having to uninstall the game i was trying to edit and steam vr

then i went to the "my pc" section of the file explorer and searched steamvr and deleted everything that came up

Just leave it here:
In the steamVR little popup card on your desktop click settings, nav to controller > manage controller bindings for ... and there is an obese switch which toggles between default and custom.

(VR is still an incredibly frustrating experience)

I've got a unique problem, this option is currently set to "Custom" but refuses to switch back to "default"
As in the button will not switch when clicked, and this is only for the one game im trying to change (all others are fine)
Clicking "activate" manually in the PC user interface for SteamVR does nothing too, its like the default bindings are refusing to activate.

No error message is shown, is there by chance a log file i can check to see if there are errors being reported?

I actually managed to fully reset it, but i couldn't for the life of me explain what the trick was that solved it.

I used the legacy bindings UI (on PC, not in VR) and removed all custom bindings, but at this stage the default bindings would still not activate.
After multiple attempts at "resetting to default" and restarting SteamVR & my PC, it just suddenly worked. No specific action seemed to lead to it, so i really dont know what the solution was.

I'm a developer and deal with SteamVR bindings outside of Steam, so chances are this was a unique issue that arose from conflicting bindings (local vs on Steam) so im sure something was just going wrong in the background

same here. bindings stuck on custom wont go back to default.

I've run into this issue a few times in the past and have finally found what seems to be a reliable fix, hopefully it'll work for you:

1. Navigate to SteamVR Settings > Developer
   
2. Set "Enable debugging options in the input binding user interface" to On
   
3. Restart SteamVR
   
4. Navigate to SteamVR Settings > Controllers > Manage Controller Bindings > [Application having issues]
   
5. Select "Choose Another" to open the old binding UI
   
6. Select the "View" option on the official binding
   
7. On the bottom right there's a "Replace Default Binding" dev option, click that
   
8. Click Save without changing anything
   
9. You should now be able to go back and activate the default binding in the old UI, and the toggle should work in the new controller bindings UI

NOTE:
You can also access the old binding UI by navigating to SteamVR Settings > Controllers > Show Old Binding UI and selecting the application having issues from that list.

In what way is @Franks your hero? Are you being sarcastic? Is the solution simply the big default/custom toggle?

I'm having the same issue but in the step 3 the bindings isn't showing
