People who buy those already have index controllers probably. Wich they can just slip onto their wrists. So what's the big deal with this one? Is it really that good for people drinking in VR chat?

The Index controllers are never really out of the way for anything. And sliding them down your wrists is uncomfortable, awkward, not practical for all wrist sizes, etc.

I personally think the Index controllers are overhyped and terrible. They are awkward, didn’t live up to their promise for finger “tracking”, make your hands sweat, they are bulky, the straps are never quite the right tension, they had durability problems, etc etc.

I’m not sold on these, but I can see why others are. And why people in the club scene or who are performers would give them a shot.

I sure miss the original CV1 Touch controllers.
