HTC Vive SteamVR Controller 1.0

Excelente

So uh I made my brother play super hot and he threw the damn controller on the wall and It broke into pieces, anyways yeah this is the same as the original works well.

It's exactly what he needed and what he wanted so he is happy and he is using them every chance he gets can't ask for anything more.

Welcome to the early VR adapters world. I have had my Vive for less than a year. Got the most common Vive controller problem on the market. I smacked a wall in my play area and it skewed the right side of the tracking pad. I permanently fixed it myself via Youtube. Worked great except for one thing, I LOST HAPTIC feedback and was unable to fix even with a technician I work with. This makes the controller almost worthless, getting only $20 on eBay for it. Anyway, I bought this new one and have had no issues with it.

For large room-scale setups they are good. Tracking is pretty spot on, feels good in games involving gunplay. They also feel pretty good for melee weapons like swords, clubs, etc.However, locomotion is nearly impossible to do on these controllers with any level of accuracy. Sometimes the trackpads will not register that you have lifted your thumb. Sometimes they don't register your thumb in the right place. The trackpad "button" mechanism seems to be very fragile, or maybe just a bit too easily overloaded in frantic gameplay.There is a a kind of silver lining for these controllers though... If you replace a controller after the trackpads or buttons wear out, you can convert them to function like Vive Trackers for full body tracking. For this job the malfunctioning controllers are perfect, and get better battery life than the official Tracker pucks.

They work fine! Once you charge and calibrate them correctly. I don't know what y'all are doing to give them 1 star reviews. Are you throwing them, smashing them against a wall, or throwing them in the toilet? Sure they are not best compared to the index knuckles, but they are ok.I swear people are too rough with their electronics these days. You treat them rough and turn around and yell, Why'd they break tho!? The are not made of concrete or "nintendium. Treat your electronics better, and they'll last a while. Also all electronics eventually break down.

HTC makes most likely the most durable controller on the VR market, and probably the best for addons and controls, it runs smoother than quest controllers and such.Great product, HTC for life.

I bought this controller as a replacement for my old over used controller and it has worked excellent since I've bought it. Its safe to say I am going to put hundreds more hours into this controller before I get a newer model.
