Description of Valve Index Controllers (Knuckles)
Valve Index controllers are unique controllers that convey natural movement, accurately track hand position and provide long-term comfort.
They allow you to interact with the outside world, objects and people, just like in life. Valve Index controllers use complex touch input to empower your VR hands with smart features and gestures. They allow you to literally take the object with your hands, and not just press a button. You can also drop the object by opening your fingers, or, say, make a "goat". Just like life. 87 sensors on each controller read the actions of the user, determining the movement, pressure and position of both hands and fingers. These signals are combined with precise algorithms to tell the system exactly how the player is holding and using the controllers.
The controller''s ergonomics have been specifically designed for open-handed interaction and extended play. The strap allows you to fully open your palm to release or throw something. It''s easy to attach and adjusts in three places to fit securely in your hand and keep you focused on your game with the flying controller. You can always relax your hands, because the controllers are fixed and do not need to be constantly held. Like the rest of the Valve Index hardware, the straps use an anti-microbial, water-repellent, and easy-to-clean fabric.
Compatible with VR headsets based on SteamVR 1.0 and 2.0
