1:08:33 The Verdict

Having had the Valve Index for nearly six months now, we've upgraded from first impressions review, to straight up review. We're going to take a look at everything from the hardware, the headset's specs, the knuckles controllers and their capabilities, how to clean and maintain the kit, how to set it up, and what we can do with it in virtual reality on the long run.

Fallout 4 VR Valve Index DLL controller mapping fix:
1) Download the replacement DLL from this link:
github.com/fholger/openvr/releases/download/fo4vr_v1.1/openvr_api.dll
2) Go to the Fallout 4 VR root
Typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4 VR
3) Backup the original openvr_api.dll file (optional)
4) Copy and paste the replacement openvr_api.dll file in the Fallout 4 VR root
5) Open SteamVR's settings and go to Controllers
6) Click on Manager Controller Bindings
7) Select Fallout 4 VR from the app list and set Active Controller Binding to Custom
8) Click "Choose Another"
9) From the community bindings list click View on "Index as touch with custom openvr dll"
10) Click on "Select this Binding"
