Now we have proof that Valve indeed has taken the thumbstick issue seriously and provided a hardware modification, awesome! 


But they still haven't admitted fucking up in the first place, have they? :wink:

I can confirm that Valve now has made hardware changes to the Index controllers to avoid/reduce thumbstick issues


@RuneSR2 did you ever get your RMA controller back?

I'm still waiting to hear others are getting controllers before I RMA mine (due to out-of-stock situation)

Yes, I think I got it back in late November (it's in a post somewhere in this thread I'm sure) - it took 3 weeks forth and back... 

I also got the new taller thumbstick, but didn't notice it before today :blush:  

It's still working perfectly - but now I'm worried about my right old controller  😄  

EDIT - found it, page 41 in this thread - got it back Nov 20, so before everything sold out.

Unfortunately a few guys with the taller joysticks have reported that they still developed drifting.  Maybe the next batch will have more improvements.  I hope so because I'm planning on buying them to use with my Vive Pro, if they ever make their way down-under, lol!

How funny  😄 I must be tired - and starting to hallucinate - just thought I saw some Vive dude break the NDA by mentioning LFD3  😄

That's not cold feet, that is backpedaling of the greatest degree.

We know he has some new contacts at Valve, and looks like the pressure was applied. The risk of depending on sources!

I was trying to find an animated gif showing some dude backpedaling when I wrote the post, lol

This however seems slightly more convincing that Tyler wasn't correct about L4D3 (or L4D VR whatever):

In a statement to IGN, Valve has denied any development on a new Left 4 Dead title, such as Left 4 Dead 3, calling the rumors on such a project “misinformation.”

“We’ve seen rumors to this effect for the last couple of months,” Valve said in a statement. “We did briefly explore some Left 4 Dead next gen opportunities a few years ago. But we are absolutely not working on anything L4D related now, and haven’t for years."

“It’s clear some people are having fun creating misinformation to spin up the community and other outlets. Unfortunately, for now a new L4D game is not something we’re working on.”

The statement follows an uptick in rumors regarding Left 4Dead 3 thanks to reports from YouTube channels like Valve News Network claiming to have leaked Left 4 Dead 3 screenshots. Furthermore, An HTC representative from China published a recent talk they gave on VR that included a mention of “L4D3.”

However, according to Valve, while there were some explorations into a next-gen Left 4 Dead title in the past, a new game in the zombie series is not currently in active development.

I agree its way off, and assumptions have been jumped too.

Anyone that has had dealings with the recent departing staff from the latest purge at Valve knows they have had a number of fps style projects being toyed with - and then dropped. The recent changes in management perspective and changing of the guard has also seen some dumped projects getting reignited. Putting two plus two together and some can see these projects could be activated as VR in due course, and sadly some people have jumped to assumptions. 

Remember the claims for HL3 kept on forever, and it is a strange that the community will finally get their wish, if just as a VR release - you can see why other would jump to other assumptions. I just think his process of information verification has some work needed - and also his new sources may be a double edged sword in the long-run.
