Razer Hydra

Sorry if this is better suited in Peripherals, but as it pertains to VR I put it here.

I can get a Razer Hydra for £145, is it worth it?

I've seen the recent update that allows Steam VR/HTC Vive games to be played using these and the DK2. Which opens up a lot of games.

Just thinking should I go ahead?

Just wanted something to add to the immersion and have a lot of fun with, as Leap Motion looks good for £30 I wasn't TOO impressed.

That was worth it. Thanks for the replies!

Ordered anyway..

Ha. I'd never heard of it. Looks pretty good though.

Sorry, if I had seen this I would have replied.

It's not worth it, well, not for that money.

Latency is a pain, worse than the leap. I'd have given you mine, but knowing they're going for that price I might just have to flog it on the old "bay of e".

What games do you use it for with vr? If you fancy creating a thread in the MM let me know, if I can use it with a fair bit of stuff I'd take it off your hands.

Bit late now, it's coming with DHL

I know it's not the vive and all fancy but for £125 how bad can it be? I've seen videos of the steamvr and new drivers and whatnot that allow vive games to be played and it looks good.
