Valve VR Knuckle Controllers

Virtual reality developers may be interested to know that Valve has this week announced their new Knuckle Controllers specifically designed for virtual reality gaming and applications are now available as a development kit and have now moved out of the prototype stage of development. The new development kits are now available but don’t delay as demand is expected to outweigh supply.

“It’s been three months since we shipped Knuckles EV3 prototypes out to developers. As with last time, we’ve seen great engagement and received a bunch of feedback from VR developers around the world. In the meantime the team has continued making improvements and polishing the design – and we’re happy to announce that the Knuckles DV dev-kits are now available. Knuckles DV improves on the EV3 design with improvements to cap sense, trigger feel, and more.”
