Valve Index Controllers VS HTC Vive Wands | Should you upgrade in 2020?

[@Rin_Nya762]

Thought I should say this. Beat saber has an ingame saber tailor. You don't need the mod anymore. But the mod is still better in customization wise. But the in game fixes the issues you stated. (From what I have heard from friends who use index controllers) just letting you know :)

[@Rin_Nya762]

@@mellowmanta8975 I'm still waiting on the full kit ;-; But from what I heard, you can mimic the wands placement if you do wish, it is finicky but there are placement tutorials or shall I say numbers, on reddit and other places, it also helps to spend some time to mess around with it to get it where you're comfortable with. Hope this also helps :3 And keep in mind, this is coming from someone who plays beat saber pretty much religiously. So I was also worried when I heard the words "saber placement is very off and feels weird" stomach dropped. But then realized what saber talor was for. But then they added the in game adjuster. Soooooo, that helped me with my doubts. Now I cant wait! cause I heard the index controllers are amazing for beat saber mainly cause you can relax your hand while playing thanks to the controllers gripping your hand and not letting it slip off! So I'm excited! :3

Great review, being a VIVE owner and first seeing these controllers first announced made be slightly jealous and when it was confirmed you could use them with the VIVE it felt like a necessary upgrade but I’ve been waiting for a video like this to pop up. After watching this i think you’ve helped make my decision in purchasing these. Like you said you get Half Life with these which actually makes the price of these come down to 200 in reality.

Initially I was planning to sell the Vive and get a full index kit before I discovered that they are compatible, but now that I know this and have heard great advice on their quality I'm putting in an order for just the controllers right now.

[@jordirapper]

No question about it. You should. I do still prefer the Wands for very specific games. I actually use them for Beat Saber cause the Index feels off (yes even with the adjustments) and the vibration is way stronger in the Wands.

[@slimyelow]

totally agree, even though I never tried the Index yet

[@acetown2263]

Got a free vive from my brother when he upgraded to the Index, the only caveat was the wands with the vive were kinda janked, and the touchpads glitch out sometimes. They still work decently well for most games, but I'm so hype to buy some index wands, and eventually an Index =D

Great review! I'm a OG Vive pre-order'er batch 1 back in 2016 and was a pre-order first-batch for Index. Everything you stated was spot-on! Would be great to also mention for those looking into a used OG Vive to make sure to get v2 wands (blue strap) which have been around for about a year now. The v1 wands had tons of issues with the trackpad pad getting worn out. I've got 7 of these fuckers sitting around and only one of them is in working order, while my blue strap v2's have been heavily used in the Onward league and are yet to have a single issue.

The weight on the controller can be an advantage sometimes as it can mimic an objects heaviness

[@DarkBlade337]

I just changed my grip on the index controllers for beat saber. I use what I call a cutlass grip. Basically I hold the grip so the knuckles part of the controller goes over the front of my hand like a hilt on a cutlass sword. It seems to work for me.

[@basementmicrowave3989]

here before 100k subs. Your gonna blow bro pinky promise

[@XXLechero]

So basically when I got my tax return, Quarantine started, I was planning on getting the index but low and behold, it was sold out. 8+ week waiting list, not to mention price gougers sweeping the whole internet of every games system out there, I was reluctantly forced into buying the vive elite. I like it so far I haven't had any problems with it except 3 major gripes. The bases are the old version 1 bases and not the updated ones. HTC is shipping this bundle with the old Vive wands [they should have upgraded them by now, they've had a giant lead]. and last one is the cable comes loose from the headset relatively easy if you flip up the display frequently. I don't know if the last one is because I'm just being too rough or its just not built secure enough. All I know is I was freaking out when my headset kept going grey screen every time I adjust my view. It took a few days for me to learn the cable can be disconnected from the headset itself. So I unplugged it and re-plugged it in. It seems to be fixed but it would be better if this wasn't an issue to begin with.

[@yeahitsaaron6854]

you're so professional for only having 1k subs

[@TopSpecMedia]

Thanks!

[@leosypher9993]

I went from a cheap oculus CV1 to a vive, the headset is great, far more durable, but the controllers ... wow, its actually amazing that someone saw the HTC wands and thought they where a good idea, and yes these headsets came out at around the same time, the vive wands have no sort of gesture tracking or anything, the grip pads are shotty at best and the track pads do what you want them to do only half the time

[@dathyr1]

Well it is Nov 2022 and for the Index hand controllers, some say the Index Controllers are also not that durable. I just purchased the Valve Index and also wanted to get the base stations setup and working in case I want to jump to another VR headset that uses this tracking. My hand controller interactions are very minimal, since I do mainly SIM Racing and sitting down. My prior VR headset is still the Rift S and works great for what I do in VR.

[@slimyelow]

I have to say that I love the wands compared to the rift controllers when it comes to gun range sims like Lethal VR. The trigger pull has a tighter action before the actual click. Also the thicker grip, nice haptic feedback and the added weight make it feel more like you are holding a hand gun. I am not sure how this is gonna feel with the Index. Also saber games like Sariento make me feel like I am holding a hefty weapon. The base station tracking of course is second to none. I luv my wands and today they go for a measly 40 bucks a peace.

Valve is trustworthy and have amazing customer support when it comes to RMA's. Best controllers on the market and probably will be for years to come, gaben is the man and valve is still the top dog when it comes to reinventing the gaming industry.

[@TopSpecMedia]

If you want the ultimate VR experience would you consider buying a valve index over the vive pro because even though both headsets have the same total resolution, the index has a higher refresh rate for the display (up to 144hz!). Just some food for thought -Chris

[@gordonbourbonbiscuit]

Hey dude, so I'm 40 now, my hand joints arent quite what they used to be, probably because there is some arthritis running in my family and I'm likely getting early twinges of that, especially in my right hand and I use the Vive Wands atm, I think having to clench the grip buttons which run along the sides of the handles is really messing up the knuckles of my middle and third finger on the right hand. Do you think the Index controllers might help take pressure off them?

[@1xtaki]

as an Owner of the original vive I can say some thing to that. Yeah the vive wants are kinda heavy and feel huge when holding, but till this point vive is still using them in the newest cosmos elite, with that its a fact that the vive (not pro) isnt supported by vive anymore which is sad. they just dont produce anything from that series anymore [ My Point of View in Germany]. The "Knuckels" are only called that way by the community but the name is "Index controllers" and the Devkit name was "Knuckels" since there wasnt a name for it at that point. The Index Controllers are great but not as well made as the Knuckels DK3. I got a friend who own Index controllers and I used them and compared to the Knuckels I got and they feel cheaper. [ To mention I got my Knuckels DK3 from a friend of mine who used them long time bevor having to sell them]

[@ErmaTheKitteh]

As a owner of both the index controllers for 1 ½ years and unfortunately a user of the vive wands temporarily as my index controllers are beeing RMA'd, here's thought: Index controllers clearly win in comfort, gaming time and overall all points to the index controllers, but they are extremely sensitive, will break easily, like the thumbstick sensor broke on me even tho ive been extremely carefull with the latest set ive gotten from valve, but other than that, valve's RMA process is pretty good, they are very good with replacing faulty products and are very nice with the communications etc; As for the vive 2.0 controllers, there's only one thing i can vouch for them'; the durability, they won't really ever break cause they are built like tanks, but the way they are used in games like VRChat is so weird to use; but you'll get used to it i guess;

[@Kevin-jb2pv]

I just upgraded my vive wand controller batteries. IDK if my old ones were representative or not, because I got them used, but I was able to add significant battery life with a 3rd party battery replacement and if there was any extra weight, it was negligible.

Haven't tested fully yet, i do know that my 2016 vive controllers last for around 5h but my newer controllers that came with pro 2, i would belive they last well over 10h with gameplay, depending on the game?

Just canceled my index order today because for 1 000 ‎€ i want some reliable hardware and their good support for RMAs is just not excuse. They should adress this and do some kind of hardware revision. Still there is 8+ weeks to ship so maybe wait for HP reverb G2 or Oculus quest 2 has leaked on bloomberg and rumors are that it will have better refresh rate, FOV, and full finger tracking so with link and more decent price that could be new index killer.
