Renders for the new Steam VR controller has been found!

Link here: https://www.uploadvr.com/valve-deckard-roy-controller-models-steamvr/

All I have to say is: PLEASE let this controller be Bluetooth enabled, able to directly connect to the damn PC and NOT locked to any headset. THAT alone will make VR gaming more affordable!

Touchpads sacrificed for more buttons (or nothing at all)? Unusual decision, but I suppose it's more up to date with the industry.

Grip sensor sacrificed for grip button? I quite liked the intuitive feel of the grip sensor as an input, but it's extremely imprecise compared to a button, causing issues in many games. I suppose that was a good decision for the many games which never considered this, but I can't help but feel a bit of regret as Knuckles really felt designed for maximum immersion.

No long plastic bit on the side? But I don't want to bump my knuckles against the wall :blink:

Welp, it doesn't feel like these will obsolete Knuckles as it already felt like they perfected the idea, other than Roy's inclusion of grip button, solidifying the inconvenient reality that many games don't feel right on Knuckles, at least out of the box.

A bit OT but seeing this controller makes me want to email NYXI and ask them to make a slimmer version of the Wizard. Of all the GameCube styled controllers the Switch has, the only ones that are VR friendly are those really old, first gen Chinese JoyCons. They were fine back in the day but others have improved on things. Yes, I'm one of those madlads that enjoys Switch VR.
