A year after its release, the future of PlayStation VR2 looks bleak as a lack of first-party exclusives and apparent disinterest from Sony make it hard for the headset to thrive.
I actually hate the knuckles. They are ergonomic amateur hour, they were made for one size and one size only. I regret ditching my CV1 because of them, though being able to play VR games on Linux numbs the pain a lot.
For me they are basiaclly unusable because of the placement of the buttons in relation to the handle.
Due to the straps, your hand has to scoot right up to the top end of the handle, but this means my long skinny thumb lands way past where the buttons are. To use the buttons, the touch pad or the joystick, I have to bend my thumb into a claw that’s not even close to comfortable.
To see what I mean, hold your phone with one hand and try to touch the corner closest to that hand. That’s what the Index controllers are like to use for me. I basically stopped playing games that require using the buttons.
The top adjustment moves side to side, not up and down, and if you put it in the lowest position possible, and therefore best for me, I now also have to bend my fingers sideways as well as inwards.
The large hand adaptor that valve made for people like me to 3d print barely helps, and makes their already heavier weight even more of an issue in games like beat saber.
I wish. I just cut the straps off entirely so I can hold them further down, but the straps are what makes the off-set weight of the sensor bars bearable, so now I’m dealing with that.
I’d have to pad them by about three times the thickness of the official “booster” attachment that you can 3d print. I do have them, and they help, a little.
But by the time my thumb would really land in the right place, the controller would be too thick to hold with the rest of my fingers.
I’ve thought this through, the Index Controllers can’t be saved.
Hey, I took out some frustrations by making a couple cathartic edits about downvoters that can’t be asked to use words, because then I’d be able to retort about how wrong they are.
If you think that wasn’t me “getting recalibrated” on this shit by doing something that amounts to little more than screaming into a pillow, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Now get off that high horse, it’s clear that your inability to reach the grass from up there is making you feel far too superior to even realize when you’re being a patronising piece of shit who is farming upvotes, rather than helping anyone.
Not bad. A response like this and I would have treated you with respect from the start. The way I’ve done throughout these “4 hours” in other threads. That switch isn’t hard to flip, especially when I’m not as out of control as I pretend to be.
But I’ve been keeping up with this thread since last night, sleeping, going to work, cooking… I ran a discussion thread on !dungeonmeshi@ani.social and much more.
This stuff doesn’t bleed for me. I don’t get pissed from a comment online then tear into a friend on discord. I don’t have trouble keeping separate things separate.
My very source of frustration is the lack of the kind of consideration you are showing now, the kind every person on earth should be capable of. My edits are screams into a pillow, because the only people who see them are the ones who either come back, or showed up after the people I made those edits in response to.
The people who came across my edits and then decide “yeah, I’ll pile on” may not be the same people that sparked my frustration, but they are the very same kind that cause it.
Face to face, we don’t deal with angry people the way we do online. In person we react with caution and empathy. Is that what happened here?
Yes, I played into the unfortunate reality of how this works online for my own satisfaction…
But your appeal for me to remember that there are people on the other side, is redundant.
I didn’t forget that. I explicitly took aim at the type of person that does, and I don’t think I missed.

I desperately need an alternative to them
Whittle your thumbs down

Could you pad the grips so that they push your lower palms out further?
