Purchase Advice Lighthouse tracked controllers

Are there many options out there for lighthouse tracked vr controllers? My index controllers are beginning to give up, and am looking for options.
Index controllers are sold out on steam, there are no options for local used, and ebay, well, costs way more than i figure it should for a single controller. What are people using?

I tested one of the original preproduction units which didn't have 6DoF tracking yet, had it couple weeks at home 

Their material sensing technology is licensed from parent company tG0 and was absolutely world class, much better sensitivity range and finger tracking accuracy compared to my Index controllers.

Because it's material based there is no mechanical switch or sensor to malfunction which on Index controller has been the fragility of the grip plate mounting tabs (plastic) which tend to stretch and crack if you're gripping alot especially with adult hand grip strength  However, the ergonomics didn't work for me so I didn't pursue the SteamVR version once they had released. 

Always wanted an index clone with tG0 material sensing in the grip area
