i dont think you just said what you think you said.

I played on someone's and I ended up hitting his ceiling in the basement, it was where there is ductwork. It didnt hurt it at all. He says his kids had friends over and one girl hit hers against the wall and it was fine. I think you only have to worry if you are being careless and swinging them really hard.

I don't think you understood. He's saying he can't be lazy because he actually put in more work.

i get your point, but waiting for other people to answer questions rather then finding them yourself isnt really the opposite of lazy

I posted the first post on my phone. Steam of the phone sucks you can't even read the titles of other posts because half of it doesn't fit in the bar

My friend and I have Vive and many people have tried them. I've seen one guy LEAP off Richie's plank and land by hitting the corner of the room, headset went flying. It ended up pulling out all the wires on both sides of the control box and the headset. After plugging them all in and a reboot, worked fine. Phew!!!

My daughter fell face first when she thought she could hold on to something virtual, big bang, lots of tears but the headset still worked.

For controllers, I've seen them hit the walls and floor several times. Twice it was hard enough to seperate the case between the top ring part and the bottom that you hold. One of those times it was bent so far that the two ribbon cables inside had detached. In both cases I had to open up the controller and secure the cables before it would work again.

The controller trackpad is horrible however, it will often stop working at the 2 or 3 o'clock position. This is due to the little rubber disk under the trackpad either dislodging or having a depression. I've had to fix all four of our controllers a number of times because of the way they designed it. I've addressed it with Vive support a few times and they tell me their engineers are working on a solution. They couldn't tell me if that meant for existing users or just up and coming controllers...

Thank you very much man. Glad to hear everything was ok with your vive and daughter. I was trying to throw stuff at people in the game and I smacked my controller into my wall. It's fine but I was just checking. Thanks again!
