I honestly don't care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that's split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven't had any luck getting third-party joy-cons to connect. Can anyone recommend me a controller? I've been looking at the HTC Vive controller, does that do what I want? My most played games are PlateUp, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft.

Since the Wii was announced everyone was joking about how the stereotypical fat gamer would never want to flail about to play their games. But honestly, playing Twilight Princess with one hand resting lazily on my thigh and the other behind my head I was wishing for the industry to go in the direction of independent controllers for every hand. But apparently only motion controls went that way.

So, good luck finding what you're looking for!
