For those who do own a VR headset Is a better controller a big deal for VR? I think the games are more important. Other than beat saber, I don't know of any games I'd wanna play. Click to expand...

Better controllers allow better gameplay systems. Yes you can get excited if you want but the cost might be prohibitive unless you already have a good PC and consider it an investment similar to buying a great racing wheel or HOTAS (but clearly with a much larger range of experiences it can improve rather than mostly one genre like each of these devices do). Impeccable independent hand tracking compared to DualShock/Move/Aim style controllers means it's both far more intuitive to work with and allows greater detail to the systems with less abstraction, just have shit work how you expect them to naturally.Examples of gameplay systems, keep in mind most are low budget stuff, imagine when the AAA developers get into the game if the next gen consoles really get in on the deal making it more widespread.I think even without playing them yourself, if you compare some of these with videos of people playing some of PSVR's best like Firewall you can see how much more involving and true to life interactions can be in these and can notice there's a far larger layer of abstraction and compensating for the tracking deficiencies with PSVR (like how static people are with having to face the front camera at all times which means for example you can't really turn around and shoot people at the back so you make do with some quick/turn option on the controllers) or how the aim controller held doesn't actually fully reflect the in game gun in 1:1 tracking (so you don't look down the iron sights as intuitively as in real life, not to mention it makes your 2nd hand unusable beyond digital inputs so you can't do things like pick up a grenade from your chest to remove its pin and throw it, or throw one back to enemies). I'd compare it to how you had to conform to and compensate for the tracking deficiencies in Wii Sports Resort or Red Steel 2 and what they expected rather than what was natural, perhaps to a lesser extent but equally important if not more so given they try to mimic things more closely while Resort was still simple good fun in the end.
