    Ugh, I really hate those bullshit controllers. Index controllers are the best and I feel like I’m just going to use tethered HMDs forever because of it.

      They sell a kit for 60 bucks with straps to turn them into the same style of controller as the index.

        I saw that but it seems like they’re just hand straps and the grip is still a button instead of capacitive touch, which is exactly why the index is so immersive. It might not be awful but I’m still gonna hold off given the price and battery life. I already have a triple lighthouse setup and wire tethers, so the best bang for my buck would be upgrading my hmd only. Though the index is still solid, so honestly I’ll probably just keep rocking it until it dies.

          The Frame controllers have full finger tracking. According to reviews, this isn’t very useful without the hand straps, though.

      I’m kind of surprised they don’t do hybrid controllers yet. As in the experimental kind used for prosthetics. Combine that with an EEG headset. Sounds like fun to me. Then again setup time would be a pain.
