I still don't think this device is going to help DCS much. It may be cool to flip leavers but for actual flying I think one is better suited with an actual flight stick...?

I don't think they will help us in the VR cockpit either... Not if we're using a HOTAS anyway.

Letting go of the stick or throttle, pick up a touch unit, flip the switch, put the touch unit down and then gripping the stick/throttle again...

It sounds too cumbersome to me.

I have no doubt that it'd be totally useless for flight sims. I was interested in them for all the stand-up VR games, but not $250 interested. I was thinking like half that, at most.

I don't know. The Vive controller is beyond awesome. In terms of tracking and ease of use. I think it would make a great addition *if* the tracking is as good as Vive's unit.

 

I too thought for DCS, Vive's controller would be redundant. And while it doesn't work in DCS, I realized that hand controllers are more than what I thought it was going to be (due to such accurate tracking)

Well,That makes it a very easy decision for me....NOPE

Well, apparently the FCC has not cleared the product yet, so they can't sell it, at least in the US, until that happens.

[Astronut]

I suspect in the US they will come to about $200. That puts the Rift/Touch combination at $800 - the same as the Vive. No big surprise there.
