VR using cheaper headset and remote? Still possible?



So I'm interested in VR. Looks like the inexpensive headset from Samsung () doesn't support the note 4 without physically modifying the unit for the note 4 to fit? I'm going by what I've read and seen on YouTube as I have not tried for myself.

While searching around, I've found several generic VR headset that come with a Bluetooth remote controller for about .

My question is for those familiar with VR. Seems to me like when you dock your note 4 in a Samsung VR headset via USB it put the phone in a VR mode where you can launch and control games, videos, etc...

So can you do the same with one of these generic headset that do not have a usb docking port?

Obviously I'm sure you could play VR youtube videos, but what about the occulus gallery? The VR specific games? Can you force the note 4 into whatever VR mode the Samsung branded headset initializes (by usb docking) without it being usb docked?

Hoping someone who has used VR on the note 4 will chime in with some advice.

Many thanks in advance.
