The Steam Controller is almost going to be a sure buy from me, but I am very unsure about the new iteration of VR controllers. I can't find anything confirming or denying that they have full finger tracking (instead of only thumb/index). The full and intuitive finger tracking of the Valve Index Knuckles is just so nice and for me pretty much necessary in multiplayer stuff like VRChat
Linus Tech Tips confirmed that the handles have capacitive sensors so they still track each finger
Thank you for that info. I read about the capacitive sensor, but I was not quite sure if that would apply for each finger. That is going to make VR sign language much easier (or keep it at least as easy as with the current Index controller)
