Perfect Addition to Freer VR Interaction

Decided to get the Oculus Rift when the Touch controllers were available. Thanks to a large number of early titles not being compatible with the new Touch controllers I've had to use the remote and the xbox controller for comparison. It goes without saying that no one goes through life whipping out an xbox controller for everyday interactions like picking up a weapon or a bottle or a knife. So, the touch controllers are a very good leap forward for a VR world. I found the tracking to be about 98% spot on. Sometimes with certain titles the quality of movement is a little shaky but you can certainly count on more and more titles being perfectly in tune with Touch. Once you get used to which one is right and which one is left by picking them up enough times, it really is quite simple to go from xbox controller to grabbing the Touch controllers hanging by the wrist straps without even taking the Rift headset off. Nicely done Oculus.

VR isn't the same without them

These controllers are the absolute reason I can't stop playing games in the Oculus. They make the experience feel like you're there and they feel natural to use the moment you put the headset on. I almost hate playing games now that don't use the touch controllers.

Oculus Rift alone is awesome, but adding hands completely adds to the experience. only 1 AA battery per controller which for casual use lasts a decent amount of time. very responsive and accurate. I can catch the controller while in VR if tossed which is amazing!

Oculus honestly could not have done a better job developing these controllers. I bought the oculus not long after it came out. I was sold from the best buy demo. However, this was prior to the touch controllers' commercial release. Before buying the controllers I felt like I just wasted $650 (tax included). I nearly returned it. However, keeping to my decision, and buying the controllers the day they came out, my money did not entirely go to waste. The controllers simulate hands in game. When you press a button, your finger goes down with it. When you touch a button, the finger lifts up a little, but not entirely. It made the effect a lot more realistic. These controllers are also extremely comfortable and easy to use. They are mapped similar to xbox controllers.
Overall, I love these controllers and they made an unrealistic and pixelated environment feel that much more immersive.

Oculus rift wouldn't be complete without getting the touch controllers. Why it's even an option to buy it without them is beyond me... the accuracy is incredible, and the experience is awesome!

The Touch controllers feel natural. You’ll see your hands and fingers, or whatever the corresponding virtual objects that the Touch controllers morph into when you put on the Rift headgear. You can use the controllers to point a finger or make a fist

Game changer for Oculus Rift VR

I don't believe the Oculus experience would be complete without these well-designed touch controllers. The Xbox One controller is in my opinion one of the best game pads ever designed. The Oculus touch is almost like breaking that controller in half so you can move your hands around independently, each with its own half. I think it was very smart of FB/Oculus to license the Xbox One controller to come with the Rift because I know I'm not alone in my opinion of that controller, and thus it was equally wise to base the touch controls after that design as well. It does take a moment to get used to them, but now that I've spent some time actually using them in some games, I find them quite comfortable and intuitive. They feel solid yet light enough to sometimes almost forget you're holding them. Very nice and an essential piece of the Oculus setup.

These have worked great. The battery life is excellent. The controllers fit my hands very well and so long as you have the cameras set-up properly the tracking is excellent. It has none of the jerkiness of the PS Move controllers

I pre-ordered the Rift day-one. It arrived, it was cool and mind-blowing but it then mostly sat on a shelf in-between me showing friends until the Oculus Touch controllers got home. I was so disillusioned with the Rift that I didn't even pre-order these. I got them when they dropped in price. I regret having waited.
These things are worth their original $199 price and more. They turned the Rift into an addictive machine. Immersion got to a new level once your hands are in the Virtual worlds with you.
The setup/demo for the Touch controllers is definitely mind bending and the included Robo Recall game is incredible!
I've been playing just about every day since (and wanting to those days that I haven't). Two thumbs up. Definite recommend. For $99, they're way worth it.

If you own an Oculus what are you waiting for?!

So I've been an owner of an Oculus Rift since it was released. For a while I was a bit underwhelmed because VR never did have much of the charm that I was expecting... and then the touch controllers released for $200. I was still hesitant on picking them up because I wasn't fully invested in VR... but once the price dropped down to $100, I said "what the heck" and bought them.
After weeks of owning these, I can safely say that it is worth every penny because just Robo Recall (A free game that is included once you register these to your Oculus account) has fully sold me on the VR experience I was looking for. So if you own an Oculus, I'd high suggest getting touch controllers, they add that extra something that I think VR needs to for a complete experience.

This is an absolute necessity for the complete VR experience. The Rift comes with an XB1 controller, but the Touch really immerses you in the game. An additional $100 added to the price of the Rift, but well worth it.

The Oculus and touch go hand and hand. Literally. It's so cool to have the oculus on and to see your hands represented. The design is well done and intuitive. It doens't take long to master using the controls.

Controllers had a nice feel to them and were highly adapted to multiple games from Climb to even some third party applications. As a developer I also found working with them to be simple and easy to set up.

These definitely step up immersion in supported vr titles by enhancing the sense of space, and their more defined neutral position makes them a fair amount more responsive than current Vive peripherals.
