Edit3: Keep em coming, one downvote on a serious comment is annoying. 2 and above after I turn it into a "fuck you" is a score-count.
Edit: Whoever downvoted me, fuck you. If the knuckles work for you, great, but they are objectively an ergonomic disaster.
Their adjustability is an illusion, because the design of the strap means you can't adjust how high or low your grip sits on the handle to accommodate fingers of different length.
So to use them comfortably, you just kinda have to hope your hands are the right size. Valve knows this, that's why they released a cad model for a 3d printed attachment that makes the handle thicker as a shitty fix to increase the grip-button distance.
Edit2: Hah, at least you additional assholes downvoting me now had to read me telling you to get fucked first. You guys are simply wrong if you think the index controllers are ergonomically sailient, and don't need replacing with something better.
You needn't look far to find Reddit post after post, article after article discussing the atrocious design when it comes to real people trying to use the damn things.
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 basically 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 desperately need an alternative to them
For the record, I only downvoted you because of the multiple edits whining about being downvoted.
That’s like watching porn with your parents level of cringe right there.
That's a better reason already, and you actually voiced it.
It's still voting based on your mushy feelings rather than the merits of what someone had to say, but still, bravo!
Now unless you have something to add beyond the obvious, sod off.
Ah, now you’ve got me in a dilemma. On the one hand, I’d love to never spend another second of my life dealing with your idiocy, but on the other hand it’s so much fun (and really fuckin easy) to piss off someone as dumb as you are by just typing a couple of words.
Decisions, decisions.
Both of you are being ridiculous.
no u
Try me.
My brother what has happened here. Your first two comments were very constructive and genuine and now look where you’ve fallen
The last downvote happened.
I vented 6k contributed comments and posts worth of random unexplained disapproval, there.
Baseless downvotes annoy me over time, so I provoked the type of people who make them out of the woodwork so I could take a couple swings. Lo and behold, worked exactly the way any idiot could predict.
I feel much better now.
How devoid of value is your life that you let a couple of meaningless downvotes get you this bent out of shape?
I will give you credit for creativity for somehow claiming victory because you managed to let so many people piss you off so many times.
Can you whine about it some more though, this is oh so much fun!
And do you seriously think me so dumb that I thought for a second my edits wouldn't summon even more downvotes? That my adversarial stance would actually make anyone back off?
Only one person ticked me off here.
I'm the one who then managed to piss off something like two dozen of you douchebags.
The internet doesn't deal with angry users the way we deal with angry people in person, with care, sympathy and caution.
When people think someone is losing it online, you pile on like the psychopaths you are.
Yeah, nothing says “I’m not mad” more than multiple replies that are several paragraphs long.
Keep coping though.
You can't know. No one can read facial cues and body language from text, and thereby mood.
So the best we can do with mere words, is use enough of them to get our point across.
What is yours? Couldn't help noticing that you've been reduced to "having a lot to say means angery" which is not much of a anything. It only works if you happen to be coincidentally right, and even then there's no causal link.
It's basically a sad attempt at geting the last word in, but without actually saying anything.
You're just pushing buttons in the dark hoping to find one that hurts. And you won't even know when or even if you succeed. What kind of person does that?
The book reports you keep throwing up in response beg to differ.
And you're boring me. You basically promised to entertain me, but this is kiddie shit.
I give you logic and you go "nuh-uh, ur totally mad" as if that doesn't make you the guy with a raging hate-boner furiously fapping at the misery you think you're causing.
Stay mad, little guy.
Did you cum hard? :D
Don’t make it weird, man, just fume without trying to work out whatever sex kink you have going on. This isn’t the place.
You're the one who wanted to fool around. You were already impotent... But fucking hell... You've got nothing left after you go flaccid.
0/5, would not screw around with you again.
Exactly, it's meaningless, yet not without consequence. An early downvote can kill a post by smothering its visibility when new.
I take issue with people taking baseless action, doing, even when they can't possibly back it up with words, and affecting things in ways they are too dumb to even consider.
Such instances are infuriating. Exemplary of the worst in us.
I see you're having a go at putting some sentences together to excuse a type of parasitical behaviour even more toxic than mine, but whatever.
You'll have to do better than this now that I've got the whole thing out of system.
