Finally got to try out hand/finger tracking with a few things in VR now that SteamVR and Steam Link support wired USB connectivity! :D ...I think for MOST things, I'm gonna prefer using the controllers, especially since they provide haptic feedback, but hands DO work better for some things! :B

One thing that's tricky is that hand tracking is noticeably lagged because of all the effort it takes to map and report hand tracking data. It's also surprisingly bad at figuring out which of my fingers is touching my thumbs so actions like movement, turning, jumping, it misses them a lot. :P

But, you can switch between controllers and hand tracking in an instant just by setting the controllers down or picking them back up, so for the few instances where hand tracking is better, like gesturing to friends or poking in-game buttons, you can easily switch for a moment, then switch back! :B
