I'm +60 yo and still having a blast in VR (which I got into at ~ your age). The touch controllers work very well but I would also recommend you purchase a Xbox One wireless controller. This works better for some VR games and allows you to go retro once in a while.

Hi. I'm 61 and I just bought a Rift S. I'll be down due to medical reasons for a few months and thought VR might help me with going stir-crazy.
My son tells me I may not enjoy it because of the "age gap" with the use of the controllers. He says that his generation (and later ones) were raised using video game controllers, and both the concepts and the muscle memory has developed over the years to become natural, but that the use of controllers is so foreign to my age bracket that learning to use it will be daunting (last game I played was Wolfenstein on my PC in the 90's using a keyboard)..
Is this true? Is there a way to work on just learning the controllers quickly?
BTW, I am a tech geek. I edit video for a living, build editing computer stations, am addicted to smart-everything, etc. So I'm not completely tech stupid, however I don't know how well those skills will transfer over to using VR.
Thoughts??

I have one major problem with them though. For the life of me I can't understand why A/B aren't on the Left Controller and X/Y on the Right Controller.

On the xbox controller, sega dreamcast and most nintendo controllers (joycon, switch pro, classic, snes, etc) X/Y are on the top left and A/B are on the bottom right.

Get it and enjoy it. Take your time learning the controls, you will not have trouble. Also remind your son that you've had to control more telephones, light switches, radiograms, tvs, binatones, wirelesses, vhs's, Betamax etc, than he's had hot dinners.
