help Valve Index Controller FAQ

What makes the Valve Index Controller different from other VR controllers?

The Valve Index Controllers, also known as Knuckles, uniquely strap directly to your hands, allowing you to open your palms and drop virtual objects without dropping the physical controller. They also feature individual finger tracking via 87 sensors to simulate realistic hand interactions in VR.

How do the Valve Index Controllers track their movement?

The controllers utilize a combination of sensors, including precise ultrasonic tracking, to relay your hand position to the SteamVR base stations. This system allows for highly accurate, sub-millimeter tracking that eliminates the occlusion issues common in inside-out headset tracking.

Do the Valve Index Controllers have force sensors?

Yes, they are equipped with advanced linear resonant actuators that provide strong, high-fidelity haptic feedback to your hand. They also feature force sensors on the grip handle, allowing the game to register the difference between holding an object lightly or squeezing it tightly.

Can I use the Valve Index Controllers with non-Valve headsets?

Yes, the Valve Index Controllers are fully compatible with other SteamVR headsets, such as the HTC Vive Pro line or older HTC Vive models. To use them, you just need to pair them with the SteamVR base stations connected to your PC.
