#PLAYSPACE MOVER INDEX BINDINGS MANUAL#

I do not use the lanyards here due to the unique strap, but with any other controller I would use them.

#PLAYSPACE MOVER INDEX BINDINGS MANUAL#

Removing the manual box reveals a hole containing the two lanyards and the two charging cables. For this reason, I do appreciate that the box is nicely put together. This manual box is held by velcro, but the controllers can easily be removed without having to remove the manual box, which is very convenient for storage as I keep my controllers in this box. Opening the box, you can see some foam padding on the lid, and the two controllers in the bottom section along with a box containing the manuals. This box was shipped inside of a regular protective cardboard box. The controllers arrived inside a nice black cardboad box marked with the Index logo. I will try to cover everything of importance, going through what's good and what's bad. I'll also show you some snippets of gameplay to demonstrate exactly how the finger tracking works, where you can see my real life hands and in-game hands at the same time, so that you can see exactly how the finger tracking matches up. I will then go over the hardware in detail and what it adds to the gaming experience, comparing with other controllers, and I will touch on the software. In this review, I will start by unboxing.

The manual covers the simple pairing process - it's very easy. I'm not sure how the Pimax setup works, but for the others, the Index controllers pair exactly the same as Vive Wands - these devices are designed to work together. If you are using Vive wands, you may have an HTC Vive, Vive Pro, Vive Cosmos Elite, a compatible Pimax headset, or an Index Headset and all of these are compatible with Index controllers. These controllers are a drop-in replacement for anyone currently using Vive wands. I'm also very big on OLED, but that's for another discussion. I use these controllers with an original HTC Vive headset, and I purchased the Index controllers alone rather than the headset as I believed that the upgraded input would add more to my experience than the Index headset would. With how difficult it was to get hands on these, I was very fortunate to get them before Half Life released. I sort of purchased these controllers to better play Half-Life: Alyx, and because of the Boneworks promotional material that showed these off.
