Knuckles ev3 is the new version of valve vr controllers

Valve has been shipping hundreds of its Knuckles EV3 controllers to VR developers worldwide, preparing them for the second-generation VR control system, which features grip sensitivity and an improved button design.

Valve already offers the new prototype Knuckles EV3 controller

The new controllers have been in development for some time from the Bellevue, Washington- based private company. Valve engineers are responsible for the key tracking technology used in the HTC Vive. They are also developing their own head-mounted display, and with these drivers they could offer new ways to use your hands in a virtual space.

The new controllers adjust to the hands, and allow realistic grip and release with capacitive sensors, designed to track finger movements. Although they have DV Knuckles kits available in quantity, they cannot meet all requests, explains a post that describes the new kit.

With the launch of Knuckles DV, V alve has moved from its EV prototyping scheme to DV Devkit, meaning its product is approaching consumer level status. When compared to the EV3, the DV features rearranged capacitive sensors to accommodate a wider variety of hand sizes, increased trigger spring force and feel, increased strap adjustability and durability, and other fit improvements and controller finish.

At this time, it is unknown when Valve plans to release its Knuckles VR controllers to the public. It is also unknown how much these controllers will cost when they are available to the public, although they are likely to be expensive, a factor that could become a new hurdle for VR users and their widespread adoption.
