I might have to get a vr headset...
There were plenty of reasons earlier too. Lots of great content available
I don’t recommend it, I couldn’t progress at all in Half Life due to the hand controls on the Index being buggy
Are your controllers defective or do you sweat a lot?
The hand/finger controls in Half-Life worked flawlessly for me.
Sweat impedes the controllers? Sounds like bad design for such expensive tech
I tend to get wet hands pretty easily and the index+knuckles is still a stellar VR headset.
I've used it for nearly 4 years now and I've never felt the need to get those silicone slips - which seems to completely resolve the issue.
Yes, the controllers work with capacitance and water is very much capacitive. People with hyperhidrosis run into issues without gloves or antiperspirant.
Oh, well thanks for the explanation. That's fascinating, sucks for sweaters
Actually it's sweat.
Which is mostly water...
Except pure water isnt conductive or capacitive
Fair point.
It's the salt and shit in there that matters though.
