> 3 dayWas able to pair these with my Index pretty easily - just held the button till it entered pairing mode and they were found almost immediately. Love that the battery is replaceable in case it dies. I do find them comfortable but they dont feel overly secure to me. With Beat Saber I constantly feel like they are going to go flying and the elastic that secures them doesnt feel tight enough for me. I have thin hands but long fingers so they are the size of your average male hand (the same size as my partners hands except he has sausage fingers haha). Both of us felt the same insecurity while playing Beat Saber. For other games I quite like them but for fast movement I just cant focus on the game because Im too worried about losing them. Maybe with more time Ill get used to that but for now Ill keep using the original Index controllers for Beat Saber at least.

> 3 dayEnded up hitting one thing and the trigger is now busted, just get a vive wand or even some valve index controllers.

> 3 dayI bought these and they are essentially an improved replacement for the original vive vr controllers. They are better than the original in a lot of ways but be warned they dont have a joystick and use trackpads. It does work with pretty much all VR software and is comfortable. The battery is replaceable which is great.

> 3 dayAn Honest Opinion about these controllers is that in my opinion, these are modernized Vive Wands but with more features. Removable Battery Packs and USB-C Charging in an ergonomic design makes these controllers ideal for those like myself who want to do gestures in games like VRChat a lot easier. The only caveat to these controllers is that its an adjustment curve if you recently swapped over from using Vive Wands. The only other complaint is that the controllers in my honest opinion need something like a pull tab to remove the battery packs. I messed up one of my controllers battery pins because I oriented the battery in the wrong way and as I was wedging it out I bent the pins in the controller. I would recommend these if you want a decent replacement to the clunky design of the original Vive Controllers.
