When we heard about the Valve Index, we just thought it would be some kind of HTC Vive successor. It was rather surprising that it would be such a strong successor. A strong starting price of around € 1000 is of course a bit considerable. But the high viewing angle of 130 ° and the controllers that track individual fingers are only a small glimpse into the strengths of the Valve Index.
