The Knuckles controllers will probably get released eventually but the important question is will developers use tracking for those extra two fingers? We hardly ever use those fingers individually in real life so I can't see that many developers using them in games and apps. We generally use them to make a fist or grip and the Touch controllers have that covered. Drinking tea posh and doing the Heavy Metal sign are the only two uses I can think of in real life tbh.
This is why I believe that Oculus didn't add tracking for those two fingers, there isn't any real point in having it.

Well not sure how the fundamental design changed for Knuckles over that period but there was a rumour about Knuckles having the ability to change the trackpad for sticks withought the need to buy a whole new controller.

The sad truth is the slow rate of VR adoption
means there’s less pressure for Valve to pull the rabbit out of the hat.
But let’s wait we could have some news in a few days.

Don't get me started on Valve again lol
They ARE working on three games though. And they're probably all going to be launch titles for the Knuckles controllers some time in 2037 all going well.
Get the phone lines ready, folks.

Couldn't agree more.

snipFacebook-Oculus are leading the VR charge. The more successful they become, the more successful the Industry becomes and the more it thrives; which means the more the competition is able to push forward as well.When people treat Facebook-Oculus like the enemy, as well as the Oculus community, they are really only taking a stance against Industry success; and condemning the single-driving force behind their own investments with competitor products. Kinda silly, really.
