.....I think Index controllers are a little over-hyped. For Vive users who've been stuck with those giant awkward wands for the past three years, sure, they're a big step up. For Rift users who've had the benefit of using the best-in-class Touch controllers, they don't really offer much that we don't already have.
Some great food for thought @nalex66 - thanks for sharing.
I have personally placed the PC VR community into five groups:
- No0bs - those that have not owned any of the systems and come fresh
- WINex - those that had a WinMR system and are looking for their replacement
- VIVEex - those from the VIVE community looking for replacement
- CV1ex - those from the CV1 community looking for replacement
- Others - those from the PSVR, or Daydream, or other scenes (mobileVR)
Each one of these groups have different expectations of what their new investment will have to achieve to warrant their interest - and in some cases they will have high expectations. But fundamental is the content - for there has to be good games to keep them in the PC VR scene, or jump ship to the mobile/standalone alternative.
While I am sure many would agree you are right about the Touch controllers - there is an issue that many of the group above will be enticed by the novelty of and ergonomics of the Index way over four-year-old tech (especially as their hardware has been altered for the Rift-S / Quest).

I wonder how Valve going to give the news. I
know its May 1st - but it's not like its a F8 or OC event. Are they just
going to have people leak the information then - then come out with a
release date/preorder date?

Would not access (control) of SteamVR trump that?

I suppose that depends if you champion quality or quantity (tho talking about quality on this crap forum software which has yet again mucked up the quote is kind of funny)

Slightly off topic @bigmike20vt - but I wonder how long support of this forum has?
Was always under the impression when PM'ing Cyber that it was due to get a complete update, but I wonder if that has been abandoned following the changes?
