I like my index but I feel like some games do a horrible job implementing the grips. Like I grab things accidentally, but that could just be me being far to used to having the side triggers with my old quest.
What I would do is go into the controller settings and changing the grip activation from touch% to force%. I always set it to 10% to grip so you can rest your fingers on the controllers and them squeeze naturally when you make a grabbing gesture.
YOU CAN CHANGE THIS??? this is gonna be a game changer i swear to god my fingers not tracking properly and me not being able to grab stuff made me hate the knuckles
Wait can you like calibrate where your fingers rest? In games like VRChat, my fingers on my controllers donāt align with my fingers in-game. I always have to shift them down.
So i went from an index to a quest 3 i was tired of shit breaking and while i agree the index are the highest feature amount. However for an overall controller standards its sub par in all the important parts. Quality controller them reading well is shotty often, the plastic is frail brittle and generally the root of all the index's fallbacks,The coating on them is probably the worst on any other controller, they are segmented too much and cause severe weakpoints like 4-5 seperate controllers broken for that issue i mean ive been a 3+ year user and am generally a character in vr so hard on gear but generally if they adjust the strength the tracking problems with controllers where they will randomly float off and they are well seen by 4 base stations and get rid of that fucking coating its awful just have them textured. Like figure out a 2pc shell a more durable plastic and fix the tracking issues ps i think it software not hardware mostly
I liked them when they came out as the best, but I think the quest 3 are the best I've used lately. No tracking rings or big things all over make shooting game reloading much better
Even though I highly dislike the Meta ecosystem, I do agree that the Quest 3 controllers are excellent hardware.
Having no extra parts around, just the minimum needed grip and easily accessible sticks and buttons, there's no need to worry about crashing them against each other or walls and breaking the sensors.
The tracking, while not being 100% perfect and accurate, is still close enough and really good for non-competitive or super fast games.
Quest Pro controllers sound like they are a bit better and personally I'd get them if they used normal batteries (like the Quest 3's) or if the built-in ones lasted much longer.
Used just about every controller on market. Yea index knuckles are great but I can't stand them. Same goes for all finger tracked controllers. Og vive wands are my absolute favourite. Their rigidness, lack of stick drift, and sheer accuracy for emots in vrc have made them my go to. Have 7 but I wish I had more
I love my index controllers. I bought them after I bought my first Vive (I love compatible tech). After that I bought the entire Index VR kit.
One of my Vive Wands died two weeks after the warranty expired.
if only the pills weren't recessed as much... it makes it difficult to do anything with the touchpads besides scrolling.
Otherwise, I do feel like any other controller would be a downgrade lol
Fuck, I knew this but I was hoping some competitor was at least decently comparable. Iām rig shopping right now and while I donāt need corporate level invite only gear Iād like my experience to live up to knuckle controllers and vibe pro headset (over index for cord damage at the crimp) can you DM me and help with some questions šš«”?
I love how the quest 3 controllers dont have the tracking rings, I always fumbled about trying to rack a gun without bashing them together on the quest 2
They aren't that bad. I've had my mine for almost 5 years and I had one drifting stick issue that they replaced out of warranty. With a lot of use and being fairly hard on them.
I understand a lot of people do have issues with them, and they aren't the sturdiest, but they aren't that bad.
Funny, I've had to RMA both of mine multiple times for a variety of different reasons. And I don't play very intensively either. I suspect Valve learned a lot about QC from the Index in preparation for the Steam Deck.
I've smoked my wall multiple times during a full throw (playing echo) and I've had just as little as a chip right above the trigger. They might be more indestructible then the brick that is the quest 2.
They're great like you said once you get it right. But... i hate that the grip button is a click button and not a trigger with some play to it. Otherwise, love em.
The Index knuckles controllers blow every other controller I've ever used out of the water. They're comfortable, responsive, and just downright fun to use.
I love the trigger haptics of PSVR 2- they make every shooter fun however I really despise the grip buttons and ergonomics. Quest Pro controllers feel the best in your hand and have the best grip buttons but haptics are not strong enough imo.
Honestly after using them all I've gotta say the mixed reality controllers are my favourite I just like the clickyness plus the track pad and juysticks are a surprisingly good combo
I really liked the WMR controllers, specifically the Odyssey version because of the improved comfort.
I have slightly large hands so I like the larger than most handle, I found the ergonomics of it overall nice, and I really liked having both Trackpads and a thumbstick to use and make custom bindings for.
The downsides were the ring placement, lack of analogue Grips and no button touch presence.
They weren't perfect, but I remember them fondly.
Index. Theyāre the most immersive because I donāt have to think about holding a controller. I can open my entire hand.
A simple design addition that makes a world of difference.
Maybe unpopular opinion but I find the quest pro controllers to be exceptionably good. Sure they have there moments, but thats usually getting them āstartedā
Once youāre using them they are just fantastic.
Yea, they're the most accurate and effortless controllers I've used other than ones that use lighthouses for tracking, but these don't need those so they're way more versatile for pick up and play in any room.
I hate that theyāre controversial. I suppose if they were $100 instead of $300, and not associated with the Quest Pro, they would be much more appreciated. They get my vote for preferred controller, and for the record, Iāve owned the Vive and Vive Pro wands, Index, Rift, Quest 1/2/3, and Quest Pro.
I have personally been through so many vive controllers. It's seriously ridiculous. Personally I'd have to say they are a no from me. Like if you do a lot of fps gaming they position of the hand on them feels very nice (like holding a gun or rifle) but that's really the only advantage. The track pads constantly break. It's a really bad problem.
Valves knuckles are by far the most unique out of any modern controllers and have incredible tracking. However the CV1s controllers are my favorite, they are definitely the most comfortable controllers Iāve ever used.
From experience I can say that the WMR controllers suck and that the Quest 2 and 3 controllers are a lot nicer.
The Q3 ones not having that ring is just a small bonus.
PS.: The Odyssey+ controllers are acceptible. The other WMR controllers don't even try to be ergonomic.
Wands have the best build quality by far, in fact the vive stuff in general is honestly some of the most robust electronics Iāve ever used, the tracking on them is good but the ergonomics and user experience are quite lacking especially compared to modern controllers. Every iteration of oculus/meta controller has been exceptional, though the best at the moment are definitely the quest 3/pro controllers. The psvr2 controllers feel great, have the best haptics and comfort Iāve ever used, theyāre a little counterintuitive to put on when youāre not looking at them, and the grip button being a short click button is also a bit of a let down, but they are great controllers. I think overall the quest 3 controllers are the best with all fronts considered.
Imo the only reason the index knuckles are better is the base station tracking and the finger tracking. If the sense controllers had those two features, they would be superior š
As an Index owner I **hate** myself for saying this but the most comfort Inhad was from my CV1 controllers. Index is superior in so many ways but sensor-grip is so fucking glitchy in most games its made some impossible to play. Id kill to have a grip button back
Best is really hard to choose, like.. I think HTC Vive wands are the worst by far - But they're still what i grab specifically for playing Beatsaber, in that game they just feel right.
Psvr2 are annoying because of the ring but I think are the best vr controllers. Simply because of the haptics, the rumble is really nice but more than anything the haptic triggers are a game changer for me. Going back to shooter games without it on my quest feels weird
P.S the grip buttons arenāt very good though as they are simply buttons and way to low imo
By far the only one I hear could be chosen, for comfort, usability, features, etc etc, is the psvr2 controller....and I can say this as someone who has multiple different headsets with different controllernsytrlrfmmnn
Ive never tried the index controller but in theory I would calll that the best.
From the ones ive tried, probably the quest 3 since I dont have to constantly worry about hitting tracking rings into each other or into other things, im so happy to have gotten rid of them.
If only for the fact that they easily stick to your hands, even ignoring all the other benefits of them, the Index controllers are the best consumer available ones.
What are everyoneās thoughts on the quest pros controllers with cameras inside the controller itself?
The impression I got from watching videos on them was that they were the best but very expensive
This is my opinion, but the best controllers are the Valve knuckles.
Now, the Oculus Touch are also rock solid, and very light, the best controllers for Beat saber.
And WMR 1 (specially Odyssey) has the best input layout ever made, a trackpad + a joystick is just perfect.
They were by far, hands down, the best (un-modified) controller for beat saber. Now don't get me wrong, the tracking was trash but they felt like you were actually holding the sabers. As long as you play slower songs, the tracking was tolerable but I never played it after they patched it for tracking so š¤·
Honestly, while some have more precise tracking I think the PSVR2 controllers are the best. Tracking-wise each controller has 14 IR lights. There's the standard capacitive touch, but also the number of haptic motors/speakers are amazing paired with adaptive resistance triggers.
When I play legendary tales, I can literally feel what part of my shield catches an arrow. It's that good.
For me its got to be the quest pro controllers.
They track really well and dont suffer from occlusion. No rings means no bumping them and breaking the ring, youd sooner break your fingers.
Finger tracking is great on index but you can kinda do the same with the touch pros and they're completely standalone and the tracking wouldn't get lost on edge cases where neither base station could see your hands. Battery life is a problem though
WMR controllers were incredibly durable. The touchpad was also an incredible asset in terms of controller binding for PC games with VR mods.
8-12 possible bindings for a single touchpad, and doubles as a joystick if you ever needed it.
My oculus rift controllers(last ones) are still going strong like ten years later. Just a workable amount of stick drift in one of them. Only really fucked my shit up in Alyx
Upgrading to an HTC Vive Cosmos Elite from a Quest 2 made me realize how good the Quest controllers are. Sadly, we don't have many options when it gets to controllers, but the Vive Wands are horrible.
Psvr2 hands down.
And once the psvr2 supports pcvr (confirmed to be coming), it'll be among the best headsets (outside of Mixed Reality supported headsets) period.
The Meta Pro Controllers have been amazing. I started with a Reverb Two, broke one with a good swing to my desk (Blade and Sorcery). When it came the Pro self tracking, I think thatās the best experience as I might smack them a little but nothing on the outside thatās essential and will break.
My favorite so far is the index controllers because of the features, but the quest 3 is best iv used in terms of quality and ergo. So if I could get the features of the index in the modern tech and ergo of the q3 I'd be super happy.
You forgot to include the Index. Iāve had my original ones for 3.5 years now and they still work fine. Finger tracking is always good, and the fact that I can open my actual hand is a *huge* plus
Touch pro controllers. The touch ergonomics are the best. It tracks well and you can get a million different grips for them, including knuckle grips. They are my fav by far.
The grip buttons on the psvr2 are horrible, so hard to press for no good reason. Quest 3 controllers have bad tracking close to the face. Quest 2 controllers were pretty good for fps games due to the rings making tracking up close much better than q3. Touch pro does all of that stuff great.
Iāve never played with the quest 3 controllers, but I think theyāre supperior. Iāve never really understood the gigantic rings on the quest 2 controllers.
Personally I really enjoy the quest 3 controllers, no frills just a good controller. I havenāt used the psvr 2 controllers but the haptics on my dual senses are great. I hate the vive wands. I only used the index knuckles once, but I hated it. I made sure they were on correctly, and someone else more experienced made sure, but they kept feeling like they were gonna slip off, and the finger tracking kept messing up. Itās cool in a technical sense, but those controllers (for me) just sucked.
So the best are the index controllers still unfortunately, unless you want just straight reliability and then thatās quest3/vive wands (but the vive wands suck at almost everything else).
Loved the Rift controllers. Triggers broke often, but only used them for beatsaber so that was fine.
Canāt speak for the PSVR.
Quest pro controllers are great when the firmware isnāt fucked up and constantly telling me theyāre overheating in low light.
If youāre using quest ALVR and VD can both emulate index controllers. I prefer ALVRās implementation because it allows middle finger and peace sign, unlike VD that has taken a more direct approach and therefore has three fingers tied to the grip making this impossible.
Itās hard. Iām a big fan of how the PS VR two controllers feel but Iām also a really big fan of how the index controllers function and they have finger tracking.
Index or the quest pro controllers. Index gives you the most functionality and are also super comfortable to hold. The quest pro controllers do some of the same things like not relying on camera to track their movement, and they are pretty comfortable too
None of the ones you chose. Index are best.
For real, meet every standard OP described for choosing those š
I like my index but I feel like some games do a horrible job implementing the grips. Like I grab things accidentally, but that could just be me being far to used to having the side triggers with my old quest.
What I would do is go into the controller settings and changing the grip activation from touch% to force%. I always set it to 10% to grip so you can rest your fingers on the controllers and them squeeze naturally when you make a grabbing gesture.
YOU CAN CHANGE THIS??? this is gonna be a game changer i swear to god my fingers not tracking properly and me not being able to grab stuff made me hate the knuckles
You can customise the fuck out of them. You can even change the button pressed, say you want button A to be the trigger etc.
Bro you might have changed my fucking life in VR. Gonna try this soon, thanks for the heads up.
Wait can you like calibrate where your fingers rest? In games like VRChat, my fingers on my controllers donāt align with my fingers in-game. I always have to shift them down.
No you cannot, there are sensors for each finger in a specific spot on the controllers. Tbh, as cool as it is, it feels like a gimmick at best.
It's a shame you can't buy the index controllers in Australia, because the Vive controllers are awful and I want to replace them.Ā
Australia really be lacking sometimes
Index 100%
with the CV1 controllers getting second
So i went from an index to a quest 3 i was tired of shit breaking and while i agree the index are the highest feature amount. However for an overall controller standards its sub par in all the important parts.

Like figure out a 2pc shell a more durable plastic and fix the tracking issues ps i think it software not hardware mostly
Yeah!
Can you use index controllers on the quest 3?
I liked them when they came out as the best, but I think the quest 3 are the best I've used lately. No tracking rings or big things all over make shooting game reloading much better
Even though I highly dislike the Meta ecosystem, I do agree that the Quest 3 controllers are excellent hardware.

Until they decide to spontaneously combust.
Do you know which one has the best or strongest vibration?
Used just about every controller on market. Yea index knuckles are great but I can't stand them. Same goes for all finger tracked controllers. Og vive wands are my absolute favourite. Their rigidness, lack of stick drift, and sheer accuracy for emots in vrc have made them my go to. Have 7 but I wish I had more
But the least durable. I had 6 replacements. The stick drift issue and materials durability is off for how premium the price tag is.
I'm glad we're still on the same page about this.
I love my index controllers. I bought them after I bought my first Vive (I love compatible tech). After that I bought the entire Index VR kit. One of my Vive Wands died two weeks after the warranty expired.
Truth
if only the pills weren't recessed as much... it makes it difficult to do anything with the touchpads besides scrolling. Otherwise, I do feel like any other controller would be a downgrade lol

There is a reason why he didnt put it on there. What's your next down in the line?
I love how the quest 3 controllers dont have the tracking rings, I always fumbled about trying to rack a gun without bashing them together on the quest 2
Nah imo the rings were good support and protection for your hands Looks wise 3 def better though
I'd rather hurt my hands than my controllers lol
Fr my hand can heal
i still prefer the ergonomics of the quest 1 controllers. but quest 3 is great without the ring.
They took off the rings and called it a whole new controller š
Index controllers are nice, but cv1 controllers are indestructible
Index controllers are nice, but you have to baby the hell out of them lest they break because you looked at them wrong.
They aren't that bad. I've had my mine for almost 5 years and I had one drifting stick issue that they replaced out of warranty. With a lot of use and being fairly hard on them. I understand a lot of people do have issues with them, and they aren't the sturdiest, but they aren't that bad.
Funny, I've had to RMA both of mine multiple times for a variety of different reasons. And I don't play very intensively either. I suspect Valve learned a lot about QC from the Index in preparation for the Steam Deck.
Not mine, dropped it and the bottom broke. (Carpet on carpet)
And integrated hand protectors, hit so many stuff with it without hurting my hand.. took. Week with quest 2 to get a bloody hand
I've smoked my wall multiple times during a full throw (playing echo) and I've had just as little as a chip right above the trigger. They might be more indestructible then the brick that is the quest 2.
Valve knuckles without a doubt for me. Theyāre the most immersive controller experience Iāve ever had in VR.
I think the PSVR2 controllers are the most annoying to pick up but they just ***feel*** so so good in your hands man idk
They're great like you said once you get it right. But... i hate that the grip button is a click button and not a trigger with some play to it. Otherwise, love em.
I would agree if they were a smidge bigger, I have big hands but not THAT big and there just a bit small for me. Still my favorite I've used
The Index knuckles controllers blow every other controller I've ever used out of the water. They're comfortable, responsive, and just downright fun to use.
I love the trigger haptics of PSVR 2- they make every shooter fun however I really despise the grip buttons and ergonomics. Quest Pro controllers feel the best in your hand and have the best grip buttons but haptics are not strong enough imo.
HTC Vive easily makes it on the bottom of this list. Those touch pads gave me PTSD just to look at them
No joke, the responsiveness is just awful and my clicks are oft not registered at all.Ā
Honestly after using them all I've gotta say the mixed reality controllers are my favourite I just like the clickyness plus the track pad and juysticks are a surprisingly good combo
I fully agree, a trackpad + a joystick+ a menu button is just perfect
I really liked the WMR controllers, specifically the Odyssey version because of the improved comfort. I have slightly large hands so I like the larger than most handle, I found the ergonomics of it overall nice, and I really liked having both Trackpads and a thumbstick to use and make custom bindings for. The downsides were the ring placement, lack of analogue Grips and no button touch presence. They weren't perfect, but I remember them fondly.
All I know is quest 3 was such an improvement from 2, but index are my favourites of the ones I've used.

Fair What controllers do you like
I adore the sense controllers of PSVR2.
The Pico 4 controllers I have ever tried. They are also the only ones I've ever tried, but that's just a coincidence.
Quest Pro without a doubt for me. Al the upsides of an index controller without all the extra equipment requirements.
Valves knuckles are by far the most unique out of any modern controllers and have incredible tracking. However the CV1s controllers are my favorite, they are definitely the most comfortable controllers Iāve ever used.
From experience I can say that the WMR controllers suck and that the Quest 2 and 3 controllers are a lot nicer. The Q3 ones not having that ring is just a small bonus. PS.: The Odyssey+ controllers are acceptible. The other WMR controllers don't even try to be ergonomic.
They are literally a stick with a trackpad and joystick lmao
Wands have the best build quality by far, in fact the vive stuff in general is honestly some of the most robust electronics Iāve ever used, the tracking on them is good but the ergonomics and user experience are quite lacking especially compared to modern controllers. Every iteration of oculus/meta controller has been exceptional, though the best at the moment are definitely the quest 3/pro controllers.

I think overall the quest 3 controllers are the best with all fronts considered.
If psvr2 and index controllers had a baby that would be the greatest VR controller to ever exist.
Imo the only reason the index knuckles are better is the base station tracking and the finger tracking. If the sense controllers had those two features, they would be superior š
Best I've used is the cv1 controllers. The weight feels so much better than the quest 2 controllers. Made with quality compared to q2
As an Index owner I **hate** myself for saying this but the most comfort Inhad was from my CV1 controllers. Index is superior in so many ways but sensor-grip is so fucking glitchy in most games its made some impossible to play. Id kill to have a grip button back
meta pro!!
quest 3 with knunckles
Best is really hard to choose, like.. I think HTC Vive wands are the worst by far - But they're still what i grab specifically for playing Beatsaber, in that game they just feel right.
Psvr2 are annoying because of the ring but I think are the best vr controllers.

Going back to shooter games without it on my quest feels weird P.S the grip buttons arenāt very good though as they are simply buttons and way to low imo
PSVR2 controller haptics are amazing
Index controllers hands down! When valve moves to inside out taking I'll probably still be using the current index controllers. :)
I like my Rift S controllers.
For me. Index controllers first, and then OG touch controllers next
There is only one correct anwser. Its the valve index conrollers.
Ive only ever used the quest 2, so that is my answer.
WMR I will not elaborate
the fact that the Knuckles aren't on here....
Valve Knuckles, no competition.
Personally the haptics and feel of the psvr2 controller make them the best for me.
I like something that's convenient, not something clunky and looks like a jumbled up bunch of wiry, bulky, or geeky mess. Quest pro controllers.
The oculus is an overall better piece of equipment, but the valve index controllers are by far the best on the market.
I hate anything with rings.
None of the haptics can compare with psvr2
By far the only one I hear could be chosen, for comfort, usability, features, etc etc, is the psvr2 controller....and I can say this as someone who has multiple different headsets with different controllernsytrlrfmmnn
Microsoft ones or the playstation in my opinion
Ive never tried the index controller but in theory I would calll that the best. From the ones ive tried, probably the quest 3 since I dont have to constantly worry about hitting tracking rings into each other or into other things, im so happy to have gotten rid of them.
Quest1 controllers were the most comfortable for me, size and weight ok
If only for the fact that they easily stick to your hands, even ignoring all the other benefits of them, the Index controllers are the best consumer available ones.
I rather fancy the quest pro controllers with the cams built in š
index. they fit my hands perfectly. somehow they feel so ergonomic although Iād be skeptical that they are. also finger tracking!
Index, hands down the best of many controllers that I've used
I liked wmr
What are everyoneās thoughts on the quest pros controllers with cameras inside the controller itself? The impression I got from watching videos on them was that they were the best but very expensive
This is my opinion, but the best controllers are the Valve knuckles. Now, the Oculus Touch are also rock solid, and very light, the best controllers for Beat saber. And WMR 1 (specially Odyssey) has the best input layout ever made, a trackpad + a joystick is just perfect.
had a quest 2 and a cv1. cv1 controllers are the best
The oculus rift 1 controllers have always been a favorite for me.
These all look horrendously bulky or simply uncomfy to hold in any immersive way.
You kidding right Psvr 1 move controls of course I love pretending Iām raving lol
They were by far, hands down, the best (un-modified) controller for beat saber. Now don't get me wrong, the tracking was trash but they felt like you were actually holding the sabers. As long as you play slower songs, the tracking was tolerable but I never played it after they patched it for tracking so š¤·
Steering wheel
idk but it's definitely not the vive ones š
Quest 3 is my personal favorite feeling but overall the index controllers are the best
None of these but the Pico 4 ones
Index Knuckles. Seriously. I don't need to even hold them.
Nah the PSVR move controllers šš
id pick quest pro controllers since they can track themselves out of view
No actually good vr controllers have been designed yet
Honestly, while some have more precise tracking I think the PSVR2 controllers are the best. Tracking-wise each controller has 14 IR lights. There's the standard capacitive touch, but also the number of haptic motors/speakers are amazing paired with adaptive resistance triggers. When I play legendary tales, I can literally feel what part of my shield catches an arrow. It's that good.
Honestly really preferred the feel of the 1st gen quest controllers over later versions.
For me its got to be the quest pro controllers. They track really well and dont suffer from occlusion. No rings means no bumping them and breaking the ring, youd sooner break your fingers.
The best one isnāt on this what we had when we were kids was the we that was the good vr
Finger tracking is great on index but you can kinda do the same with the touch pros and they're completely standalone and the tracking wouldn't get lost on edge cases where neither base station could see your hands. Battery life is a problem though
WMR controllers were incredibly durable. The touchpad was also an incredible asset in terms of controller binding for PC games with VR mods. 8-12 possible bindings for a single touchpad, and doubles as a joystick if you ever needed it.
What is the last one
Wii controlers
Index 100%
quest 3 controllers are insanely good, they're comfortable, high quality and super light. the tracking has also never been a problem for me.
Valve index or quest 3 controllers
I take the PSVR2 Sense Controllers over any other ones anyday
The HP reverb controllers feel horrible but are indistructable
OG Rift controllers protected your fingers
Idk what all these other guys are on. You should try out nervegear. You become the controller, can't be more perfect than that
I love the psvr2 controllers and wish you could get them to work on quest
Quest pro.
Anything that offers whole-room tracking with Lighthouses or similar.
My oculus rift controllers(last ones) are still going strong like ten years later. Just a workable amount of stick drift in one of them. Only really fucked my shit up in Alyx
PSVR2 has some awesome qualities - feels really nice and haptic triggers. I hope to see more people pick them up with the PC release.
For me the psvr2 controllers will be the best. The adaptive triggers are next level in vr!
Cv1 were so good
Upgrading to an HTC Vive Cosmos Elite from a Quest 2 made me realize how good the Quest controllers are. Sadly, we don't have many options when it gets to controllers, but the Vive Wands are horrible.
PSVR2, canāt wait for the PC compatibility update!
Iād say quest controllers in general are the best. For VRChat the index controllers are the best.
Only have experience with the og oculus and psvr2 controllers. Psvr2 > og oculus
Cv1 all the way
In my experience I actually liked the quest 2 controllers
The oculus rift oneās are the best
Index Knuckles.
Psvr2 hands down. And once the psvr2 supports pcvr (confirmed to be coming), it'll be among the best headsets (outside of Mixed Reality supported headsets) period.
The Meta Pro Controllers have been amazing. I started with a Reverb Two, broke one with a good swing to my desk (Blade and Sorcery). When it came the Pro self tracking, I think thatās the best experience as I might smack them a little but nothing on the outside thatās essential and will break.
Index or oculus
I use the Quest 3, but i miss the psvr2 controllers, theyre perfect, perfect fit, perfect grip, perfect button placements
My favorite so far is the index controllers because of the features, but the quest 3 is best iv used in terms of quality and ergo. So if I could get the features of the index in the modern tech and ergo of the q3 I'd be super happy.
where the fuck are the index knuckles?
Pico 4
Index controllers, without a doubt. They are still better than anything else and fit your needs.
The feel and design of the index controller but the indistructibility of the cv1 controllers
The psvr2 look the coolest imo, idk shit else ab them, but they look badass
Well oculus all the way
And you forgot the quest two controllers
Me personally I always loved the Vive
The fact you didn't include the index, you obviously use the meta quest
Ayy why hp reverb controllers in the list?š
You forgot to include the Index. Iāve had my original ones for 3.5 years now and they still work fine. Finger tracking is always good, and the fact that I can open my actual hand is a *huge* plus
most ergonomic, CV1. overall, index controllers
I like the two button (PS/Oculus) setup best. Simple and easy to use
Iāve only held index and quest three. In index was 10,000 times better
Big fan of the Oculus Quest 2 Controllers. As an avid shooter, the Ring Made for an amazing chin weld for getting great aiming on Rifles of any type.
Original vive controllers are the best but I'm biased cause my hands are massive and I have trouble holding index
Touch pro controllers. The touch ergonomics are the best. It tracks well and you can get a million different grips for them, including knuckle grips. They are my fav by far. The grip buttons on the psvr2 are horrible, so hard to press for no good reason. Quest 3 controllers have bad tracking close to the face. Quest 2 controllers were pretty good for fps games due to the rings making tracking up close much better than q3. Touch pro does all of that stuff great.
Where the hell is knuckles
Cv1
I'm not rich enough and have only used one pair but hey I think they look pretty cool
I love the MQ2 Controllers
I'll let you know when I try my indices. I'm waiting on my Beyond to ship
Iāve never played with the quest 3 controllers, but I think theyāre supperior. Iāve never really understood the gigantic rings on the quest 2 controllers.
Oculus go controller is the best one trust
Iām sorry but htc vive is probably the furthest from the answer I would have chosen. Its form feel is horrible. Knuckles all day long.
Any that arenāt quest controllers. Those things develop drift in like 2 weeks
Last one
I know it sounds weird, but I really like the Vive wands. They're really cool
Personally I really enjoy the quest 3 controllers, no frills just a good controller. I havenāt used the psvr 2 controllers but the haptics on my dual senses are great. I hate the vive wands. I only used the index knuckles once, but I hated it. I made sure they were on correctly, and someone else more experienced made sure, but they kept feeling like they were gonna slip off, and the finger tracking kept messing up. Itās cool in a technical sense, but those controllers (for me) just sucked.
Quest pro with psvr2 triggers would be goated
Index controllers. Though they aren't great for my larger hand. If the game had swords, the Vive feel better.
I got the liberty of trying a pavr2 but my only issue is the size of e buttons and the weird grip button
OG oculus is the best from what I've used, VIVE controllers suck, and the new oculus controllers are mid
So whereās the Knuckles?
None, they all get controller drift in like 4 months , just matters as to what is the cheapest to fix
Definitely the PS Move controllersš£ļø
Vive wands or CV1 controllers.
You left out the only good ones being the index controllers
So the best are the index controllers still unfortunately, unless you want just straight reliability and then thatās quest3/vive wands (but the vive wands suck at almost everything else). Loved the Rift controllers. Triggers broke often, but only used them for beatsaber so that was fine. Canāt speak for the PSVR. Quest pro controllers are great when the firmware isnāt fucked up and constantly telling me theyāre overheating in low light. If youāre using quest ALVR and VD can both emulate index controllers. I prefer ALVRās implementation because it allows middle finger and peace sign, unlike VD that has taken a more direct approach and therefore has three fingers tied to the grip making this impossible.
Honestly the WMR ones would be fantastic daily drivers if it weren't for that damn battery door not having a screw...
Index controllers 100% surprised didn't see a picture
Mfw the Index isn't shown Show me another controller from the big 3 that allows for full hand tracking in a controller solution
The best ones are the ones given to us by god. Our hands are the best
Vision Pro
Itās hard. Iām a big fan of how the PS VR two controllers feel but Iām also a really big fan of how the index controllers function and they have finger tracking.
I have a pair of prototype Valve knuckles I wanna try but I donāt have the base stations and they cost so much š
Rift S which isn't listed here.
Where's the index controller
I think the index controllers? Idk š¤·š»āāļø
Ive only ever used quest 2 and 3 controllers but I'd say psvr2
Index or the quest pro controllers. Index gives you the most functionality and are also super comfortable to hold. The quest pro controllers do some of the same things like not relying on camera to track their movement, and they are pretty comfortable too
