If you've yet to buy these, and you have a CV1, then you really do owe it to yourself to get them. They really do change the experience you get within VR. If, like me, you only had the headset, you would have been very impressed with driving games, for example. Assuming you have a gaming wheel, the FEEL of turning a real wheel to steer a virtual car was one of the more eye-opening moments for me.



With Touch controllers, you absolutely get into the VR world. Eleven tabletennis (while unfinished) is easily one of the most realistic things you can experience, as someone else mentioned earlier, you try to put the controller on the non-existent table. When a game allows you to completely suspend reality for a bit, you now it works.



However.



You NEED 3 sensors. It DOES work with two, but this only gives you a 180­° playing area. While your headset will still be tracked if you turn around, your touch controllers inevitably will not. You can buy a 3rd sensor from the Oculus site (£59) and it will work on a standard USB2.0 connection (3.0 is still preferred).



You also NEED A fairly large play area. It doesn't need to be an entire room, but it should be big enough to allow you to stand in all directions with your arms out, and then a large step in each direction as well. The Guardian barrier system works well, and certainly stops you from walking into things.



Still, it's highly recommended. I only gave 4 stars due to the occasional tracking issue.
