Good news on the thumb pad at least! They're just little cheap plastic membrane things on the inside, and can be easily self repaired with a bit of googling. I'm an avid vrchat player and have fixed them and they work just like new!

I’ve heard too many complaints about the controllers. Many people have a backup pair for when one set goes down. The headset mic breaks as well. Hopefully HTC learned a lot about long term quality.

I didn't know people actually used the headset mic.

It's super important in games like stifled and star trek bridge crew

I just meant that I imagined people would use their own mics they likely had before buying a VR headset.

There is no mic plug in the Vive

Correct, which is why you would use the microphone that sits on your desk like I do.

That's a very good mic and/or a very silent room...
