valve knuckles 2, please

I sold my old valve index set a year ago after playing all the things, and I want to rebuy VR because I miss it. problem is, I can't go back to non-knuckles, and I don't want to buy knuckles again because of the stupid joysticks.

I really hope that knuckles 2 releases soon so I can go back to VR

I've had my knuckles for almost 2 years and around 1500hrs usage.

My buddy the same, however he broke it by slamming it into the wall, not because of violently pressing with force on the joystick (which is not needed at all).
Valve replaced his knuckles. After two years.

Stop using force when using your knuckles.

You don't use a brick as a pick on a guitar either

I used them gently and they broke in many ways (mostly joystick but one time finger tracking). one time they even arrived faulty (one of them) straight from warranty. valve is certainly being nice about it, but I still had a ton of headache getting them repaired many many times.

perhaps your're just lucky, or perhaps I'm just unlucky. overall from the internets it seems many people needed to replace their controllers a few times

yeah the first gen knuckles had a stick issue. version 1.2 is improved. this was regarding the center click.

anyway, I know I should hold on to my money until VI2 comes out but it's hard when I have no idea if it's 1 month or 10 years

I'd say hold on.

If you already had an Index but sold it a year ago, not much - if anything at all - has happened that's worth the investment. But that's just my opinion of course.

yea that's what I'm doing but I was honestly sure VI2 will come out by now, and I have no idea if the wait is going to be short or super long.

valve tends to announce things a week before they release
