Ben Plays VR are you discount Michael from Vsauce?

I reserved the controllers about a month ago and have not got an email can you help

Slime rancher vr is only a demo unfortunately

Hello daddy

Dad Slime rancher VR sucks, you can’t do anything in it.

Just wait... they have a couple games soon to be released.

@@laartwork Ive heard that line for about 10 years...

Valve are making alot of games, they just aren’t releasing them

Valentine yeah me too

Heatmahn Z you do know they aren’t like a normal Company? They dont set x amount of people to work on game y for release at date z They have people work on whatever they want to, games like HL3 and maybe Portal 3 have been on and off production countless times. They dont have to finish it by some set date, so production stops or resets depending on if the people working on it get stuck or change ideas

Yeah i was legit gasping when he said that, holy thats good (and good for multiplayer experiences).

Have you felt oculus touch?

thealexguy1 nope but I think the ability to let go of the controller and not having a grip button makes the controller incredibly good

I have tried the Rift and Quest Touch controllers and the Index controllers. The Index controllers are really nice, but tbh, they are not much of an upgrade to the Touch controllers. You can even pretty easily add a simple strap so that you can "let go" of the controller the same way". Also I am actually missing the grib button on the Index controllers. Really helps making it clear when you are grabbing or releasing an object. Right now I have trouble knowing or even getting the game to release objects. Throwing often feels awkward. Do I have to release all my fingers? Did I release them enough? And I am really not a fan of the built in, non removable batteries either. Still though, they are the best controllers for VR right now, in my opinion. Finger tracking is really cool, and so is how it measures grib strength, not just whether you grib or not. But possibly what I like the most about the Index controllers, is that unlike the Touch controllers, you can actually connect them to the PC with a dongle, which means if you want to, you can use the Index controllers with any PC VR headset using some third party software that calibrates the two tracking systems. Like maybe WMR or Rift S tracking.

When did you reserve yours? I'd love to get mine soon, but I'm sure they won't ship until September

@@zyvics I pre-ordered mine within the 1st hour after the pre-orders opened on Steam. I think in the US at least, within the first 15 minutes they got sold out. In Europe I think it took more than an hour. I ordered mine about 20 minutes after the preorders opened I think, because I forgot a step the first time I was ordering it and did not notice at first and thought the order had already been made. But everywhere it was sold out pretty fast, and now the pre-orders all seem to say September 29.

Honestly it sounds like a slowed down piano arrangement of the King Theme form SMB3. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rN2bbNCjqpPHdnU.html

Thank you! And congrats!!🎉

Yes but all the controllers have been shipped with a major design floor unfortunately. The joysticks don't click in all directions. Same bug on all controllers. Meaning you will struggle to click with joystick pointing forward which will inhibit running in some games

@Shallex flawless spelling

VR DEMON you can do that on most controllers

i will probably cry as soon as i get my index controllers xD

I'll cry when valve is able to bring the index to my country

As someone with index.. and really loud squeaking coming from the controller on the second day of use.. I love the controllers.. but man they used some cheap shit for the trigger springs.

@@deathifyin2959 my index got shipped today at my house and its waiting for me until I get off work. I'll let you know in a few days if I have the same problem.

Yes!!

Ever get one?

@@mycelium1456 Yeah, I did actually. I love it

@@Foxbyn that's great to hear lol I love mine too I can't believe I was thinking about buying a vive before I looked at the Index lol

You bet! Thanks!!

Yeah, my wallet kinda hurts right now

@@BenPlaysVR I'm thinking about just getting the knuckles for the vive? Is it worth it?

@@MANTIKORE_ The knuckles are infinitely better than the vive wands. After only a couple hours, I could never go back.

Vahki honestly I’m so happy that I got the knuckles by themselves, they are just such a good controller! Don’t expect too too much from finger tracking, that works but not as well as you think “finger tracking” would work. It works great ifyou hold up fingers like a number or the bird or a pinky or a thumbs up or counting but trying to do intricate movements like a shadow puppet or sign language it’s very difficult to make the sign you want them to. They are very comfortable and intuitive to use like holding a gun in h3 makes sense! I haven’t really used the buttons but the thumbstick feels great but click only works near the default position.

@@JohnSmith-sk7cg I don't like the vive wands. I like the Oculus Touch Controllers so much better, and the Index Knuckles seem like a natural evolution in terms of hand ergonomics and immersion since they can track more fingers and are attached to the hands. Are they comfortable? Do you feel like you can throw something without worrying about throwing the controller?

Yeah, my wallet does kinda hurt right now!

Yup, my first!

It's well made, it's comfortable. SDE is barely noticeable even if you're looking for it. Controllers are comfy too, I can see no issues using them or the HMD for long periods. Depending on your hand size you may find pressing buttons/trackpad etc a bit of a bother though, but that may just be down to me not having it strapped on the best way :)

Yes!!!!

Very impressed. Full review coming soon!! 😁

@@BenPlaysVR throw the Duke nuken mod back on, it looks and plays amazing

Joe Foft Actually he bought the 750 dollar package without the 2.0 basestation

LifelessHawk so you could play without basestation

@@mildlyfocusedgamer27 he already had basestations, you need them for the valve index

😎

hope you get the best experience homie :)

Great question! I hope they're easy to clean

@MrKenyanen Yeah but isn't it attached to the plastic piece permanently? same with the other pads.

@@BenPlaysVR I'm going to let you beta test that before I make a decision hehe

I guess same as vive pro pads. Warm water and soap

@@salemas5 Depends on how it's attached really.

The 2.0 have better tracking, larger play space and allow multiple users in the space so better for Arcade situations but if you have s rom larger than 12x12 it would be great... I think it goes up to something l like 30x30.

@@laartwork thanks Leon. Then I will do as Ben and just purchase the headset + knuckles

I’m unsure about that. Sorry I’m not more help!!

It’s the right eye view 😁

😎

Beanieman they do

EU.

Beanieman oh yeah ok

Its just 1 international package, it comes with modular power plugs too.

Thanks! I’m kinda surprised by everything about the controllers right now 😁

Knuckles controllers require the base stations, its possible but Its most likely going to be a very hacky method

Second one. The basestations can be bought real quick, or even just the 1.0 stations. But not having a PCVR ready PC... yikes, a whole lot of yikes.

In some later testing yes. Full review coming soon! 😁

That is what happened yes, thanks for writing it out

*New orders ship in 8 weeks*

July 2020: Laughs in worst corona virus

You need the hanging trackers 😀

Ben Plays VR unfortunate. I’m used to that windows mixed reality life lol. I need an upgrade though. I was thinking the oculus s but this looks dope

Nope, I don’t know. The sooner they have a regular store page the better!!

Wait for someone to review them, I have knuckles EV3 with Pimax 5K+ and they are basically unusable because they map wrong half the time or more when I try to use them. Like they reverse the direction of the controller and other such things.

@@noth606 thanks!

I do cut out some downtime in the game footage 😁

@@BenPlaysVR the scenes in Superhot have maybe half a second of load time. Is that edited down?

I'm using a GTX 1080TI, and I'll try to include that in my upcoming review 😀

Im noticing no mayor performance differences on a 1080 (the non-Ti one) compared to my Vive, while also running the headset at 120hz, the only game i've found so far that really shows struggles (and even then mostly just in the loading screens cuz its a less-then-optimal unity game that doesnt do multi-threading) is Onward.

The controllers natively work alongside any headset that currently uses lighthouses, including the OG Vive. They also work with lighthouse 1.0 trackers (the ones that came with the OG Vive).

John Smith thank you! I’m not much of a tech guy but do the list of useable headsets include the original windows mixed reality?

You dont need the headset but you DO need the sensor base station things. They support SteamVR 1.0 hardware though so if you currently have a Vive/Vive Pro/Pimax you should be good to go with just buying the controllers.

@@mr.shneeblie5330 As long as you have a lighthouses and are playing a game that's compatible with SteamVR, it will work. You need lighthouses though. WMR's tracking system won't work with them as the way they operate is fundamentally different.

@@mr.shneeblie5330 No, not unless you buy the lighthouses separately, and use a software kludge to align the WMR space with the SteamVR space. (Google "use vive controllers with WMR", and there will be tutorials and videos about it.) It's expensive and not fun. If you're going to get the lighthouses and controllers anyway, you might as well go the whole hog and get the headset (or a Vive).

It will be worth the wait, i was a bit skeptical about all the praise before finally getting mine this afternoon, but ye, this is definitely a step towards or the start of next generation of VR, great visuals audio and comfort, all in all a 100% upgrade over a Vive.

I'll be sure to cover that in my upcoming review! 😇

Yes!

Yup. It can play every Vive game 😁

@@BenPlaysVR cheers

They already come out with an update for it. It's perfect :))

That really sucks ☹️

I believe a gtx970 in minimal and they recommend a gtx1070 to run this so you should be in the clear. Along with 8gb of Ram.

@@simplygaming2280 I HAVE 16 OF RAM
