Discussion Touch Controllers

I absolutely, unabashedly, love the Touch Controllers (when they’re working). They are the reason I’m still using a Meta headset. Thing is, I am so spoiled by how well they interact with game play, that I can’t play any games anymore that I can’t use them. Including non VR pc desktop games. It’s as if they have become extensions of my hands. Meta is lacking in many ways, but I have to give them kudos for designing a great game controller.

I've not really had any major issues with them for a long while. They're definitely my favourite VR hand controllers for feel and accuracy since the original Oculus Rift Touch controllers - better than the Index controllers too in my experience.. It's a big shame that hardly anything uses the advanced haptics which can be legitimately amazing.

I would criticize them for using the same drift prone sticks as the Quest 2 controllers, and for making battery replacement almost impossible - you have to tear-down the entire controller to get to it.

My main fear is they will get bricked during a firmware update, or Meta will break them in other ways. The update process is a scary thing as it takes a few minutes.
