Valve Index Controller

Does it support fingertracking? Playable with Index controller?

No fingertracking but works great. Imho better than with the VIVE wands due to the sticks on the Index controllers.

IMO, for me, the Vive Wands are far better than the Knuckles. The joystick on the knuckles is offset from the on-axis of your thumb, so it is not a natural joystick angle (though maybe time I'll get used to it). Also, with hand and finger tremors that I have, the pad of the Vive is large enough to deal with that issue versus the small pad and small joystick of the Knuckles.

It would have been nice for the developers to turn the orbs to fingers/hands (while using knuckles) and allowed you to pick up Moss. That would have been really cool.

Can you elaborate on this?

What are the controls mapped to on the Index? :)

Ok thank you. So pretty easy to remap if needed then :)
Are those the only controls in the game? There are no other actions? just three buttons and the direction?

Yes, should be all, didn't include menu buttons and such.

I cant play this with the Knuckles, Quill keeps running backwards when i am not touching the joystick. Anyone else managed to solve this? (changing the controller dead zones doesn't fix this)

I fix it unplag my xbox 360 controller.

Agreed, if Quill is walking backwards, it may be another input (controller) with a stuck input. My Xbox controller will oftentimes get stuck in one direction, if I am using it then my own playing will correct it, but if i set it down ill notice the drift. I just made sure Quill wasnt moving (centered the joystick myself), then unplugged. Afterwards no issues.

As far as the button mappings with Index, I would say the controls are super intuitive. The most difficult thing is navigating menus, and as they aren't speed sensitive, it works just fine.
