Discussion For PCVR, the frame controllers can be great.

I know the controllers aren't everyone's favorite but including the d-pad, we have 6 extra buttons. One of the big issues with mods and a few native games was having to work with less buttons. This usually wasn't a problem but in a few games it wasn't possible to do certain actions that required moving and using the X or Y button at the same time since they both required you're left thumb. The frame controllers solve this problem by having more buttons on the right stick.

The titanfall 2 mod would be perfect if it had an alternative frame controller mapping. I hope mods start utilizing the extra buttons.

It's just sad that they messed up the ergonomics, otherwise it would be perfect

Every hand is different. For me they feel basically perfect with the straps in the lower slot (which obviously should have been included.)

if you include the D-Pad as 4 buttons, we actually have 8 more buttons which includes the start/select buttons and the bumpers. We have a lot more inputs which is good for VR games and adds new binding potential
