Unless I'm wrong, I believe you'll be holding Knuckle controllers just as you hold Touch, regardless of whether you're gripping something in VR or not. The only difference will be when you open your grip just before grabbing something, instead of just pressing the grip button on Touch when grabbing something.
The reason I say this is that you need to be firmly gripping the controller to operate the other controls (movement etc) and to provide firm stability to the controller whether gripping something or not. If this is the case, then you're really just making quite a subtle difference to the experience.
But what might make a larger difference (at least for me) is having the constant touch of the strap across the back of my hand. This may, for me, contribute to having a reminder that you're using a controller rather than add to immersion.
Don't get me wrong, the old Vive controllers are overdue for an improved alternative and Knuckles are definitely that, but I'm not sure the grip mechanic is adding to the experience or detracting. Am I missing something?
I welcome alternative thoughts.

Edit: I've just been trying to open my grip without moving my thumb off the stick or buttons and I cant do it.

There are a few things I take from that vid...
He mentions at one point that he no longer as to 'look for the grip button', was that an issue with wands? I don't think its a thing with Touch.

hahaha yeah I tried and tried... and I had my tongue sticking out a little bit while I did it, but yes, strangely the Vulcan salute is no problem at all.

Haha. I can just picture you trying this. :#
But I bet you can do this though right?

@pyroth309 I get the feeling you're younger than me. Every so often a conversation gives me little reminders of how old I am. 😛

Gene Simmons clearly would have no problem with Knuckles although a VR cover may be a good idea to avoid transfer of makeup.
