Oculus Touch, Rift Controllers Are Now Officially Available For $199

Oculus Touch, Rift controllers now can be purchased separately for a price of $199. Now you can improve your VR experience with these.

While the Oculus Rift is a great VR headset it was set back by the lack of in-game immersion due to the fact that you had to use an Xbox controller with the device. The HTC Vive, on the other hand, came with dedicated controllers, making it an overall better experience. Now however, Oculus Touch has been officially released and you can buy one of these now.

With the Oculus Touch the Rift will be able to come on par to the HTC Vive and games will be even more immersive than before. The company did take its time but we are glad that this is finally out. The Oculus Rift costs $599 and the Oculus Touch comes at $199, so the combined total comes to $798, that is what the HTC Vive costs. You can also buy an additional sensor for another $79.

If you are a VR enthusiast that owns a Rift headset and want to get most out of your VR experience then you should buy the touch controller. As these have just come out there is not much that we can say about them. We will tell you more about them after they have been tested.
