    Speaking of tracking, With this I have no issue anywhere in my space. Really enjoyable to play my games how I want. I can move my hands as fast and as violently as I want, do windmills, do whatever and it tracks everything perfectly.

    Never could do that with Touch without losing tracking, awesome that it's finally possible with Knuckles! ;)

    Either Valve ramped up production (probably not likely) or many have cancelled their Index pre-orders (probably likely) explaining why persons expecting to get the Index in August or September are able to buy the Index (full kit) now. It's all over Reddit - a lot persons waiting are now able to purchase. But it seems a lot will not purchase until the Knuckles have been confirmed fixed. 


    As much as I would love to hear your review, If I were you I would wait. I see a lot of people cancelling reserves on reddit at the moment with the same concerns other the controller issue. I don't think missing the reserve will now mean an enormous delay in you getting one.

    I get 110 with the Index and 140 on a friends Pimax. The image quality on the Pimax is very good but the SDE on the Index is slightly less. Blacks are about the same. 

    My Index just works with just about everything including Revive. My mates Pimax has more problems with certain steam titles and on revive. 

    There are zero distortions with the Index it’s perfect but a lot of distortions on the Pimax on the outer 3rd. There’s some room wobble on the Pimax too. 

    I’d be happy with either but the Index is a more mainstream device with less bugs/niggles.

    My Index controllers work with his Pimax.



    Thanks for the info mate. How are the knuckle controllers for you? Any issues like others have reported? Do they work fine for all games? Like Onward/Beat Saber/Audica/Pavlov/In Death etc? Have you tried a lot of games?

    The Index sounds perfect to me, but the only thing that worries me is the reports of faulty knuckle controllers, can you please put my mind at ease?

    I think this is also where the FOV reviews differ. If the Vive is 110 at best and the CV1 95-100, depending what headset you had previously and how much you dial it in, you are going to see a bigger comparative difference.

    Yeah that would make sense. Perhaps then Rift CV1 owners will notice the biggest the difference. I'm staying optimistic that it will be better then what us Rift CV1/S owners have now.

    Still pretty disappointing though, to be told its 130 and others saying a bit bigger than the Vive Pffttt. 20 degrees should be a massive difference.

    Maybe they are learning how to use Pimax math LOL.
