Review on ๐Ÿ” Optimized for SEO: HTC Vive Controller by Erika Wright

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great and user friendly design concepts but poor internal electronics hamper usability - design change required

Serious design flaw. I've tried several controllers and at the moment I only have one that works stably. AFTER I restored it. Vive really needs to fix a number of issues related to tracking sensors and buttons. While they are comfortable to hold and the design concept is very user-friendly, the cons far outweigh the disadvantages for the time being. When I finally sent back the last controller I bought, I noticed that NOBODY had any controllers available at the moment. Hopefully this means that HTC is about to release an improved design. and I hope to recall those faulty ones and replace them with usable ones. You have to make sure they are durable as people will bump into walls if they have a visor to cover their eyes. The maintenance is terrible too. How long does it take for a defect to be identified and replaced? Goods returned for warranty repair will be stored indefinitely.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Price that beats the piggy bank
