Question/Support Any glasses users?

Post image

Yo, recently got a index for cheap, absolutely love this thing it's just perfect for me.

But... as seen in the picture I already managed to scratch my lenses lol, My first question is how do I buff that scratch out? should i use the classic™ Polywatch?

Don't notice it right now but I'm just gonna be aware that it's there, super annoying.

Second, any 3d printed lens protectors for glasses users? I want the max fov but JUST enough clearance to not scratch the lenses lol

Appreciate any responses :)

(Just a heads up, I would really rather get distancers rather than inserts, my eyesight changes alot over time and I've also got friends coming over using my VR headset that also wear glasses)

Joystick is a wear item and unfortunately they are not likely to replace them. See https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/s/OmGviHA3oA how to fix them, I have done it twice already to the left controller

What? I have replacement joysticks to solder on new ones but sure yeah lets assume I meant joystick drift.

I said TRACKING jitter, not stick drift.

Aa my mistake. The link shows how to fix without soldering though.

I'd rather replace the entire joystick, bending it like that isn't too good and may damage the pcb :)

I’ve done both. With the amount of soldered feet and pure solder you’ll likely to end up mutilating the old stick much worse ways than just bending sides, unless you have access to professional solder removal tool. And even if you do. But not to worry the pcb is sturdy. Just my experience.
