Rus Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi. I've purchased Vive back in May this year and used it collectively for about 30-40 hours since then (so not that much). I've always had trouble clicking on trackpad but it hasn't been that big of a deal, since I never needed that functionality fully. I've got Fallout 4 VR today and realized that I cannot play that game with both of my controllers not being able to click to the right of the trackpad. I am pretty sure it is all under warranty, if not please suggest further course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupOfTea Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 MeToo.... Got my vive little over a month ago Looking back the problem was there before but I just thought it was the apps that were shonky. Now that with Fallout I've realised my controllers are er.... shonky. Common problem from a quick google. I recently warranteed a table saw from Bunnings... Walked into store demonstrated problem... No Problem sir have a brand new product Having seen whats on the google I am now interested in htc's response now that Fallout's release will highlight what appears to be a design problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 It is so annoying. I am so frustrated to find out that I can't play the game I've preordered with the Vive set that is by itself was more expensive than Oculus. I mean I would understand if this issue was one in a few millions, but I have both of my controllers having exactly the same issue and I see people reporting the same. And still no reply from Vive people. I am deeply dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rus Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi John. Thank you for you reply. I haven't tried contacting anyone through the Live Chat, since I was not aware such feature is available. I will PM you shortly. Thank you, Rus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 I just got through to the live chat. Posted the broken controllers to the repair centre. I guess its a wait game from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupOfTea Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hmmmm https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=vive+trackpad&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=7kYwWu2LJPHc8wev8ITwDg Thanks... but having had a good read it would appear HTC are unable to provide a perminant fix for this problem, or even upgrade their design to eliminate it from new units.

Synthesis Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm not sure what you mean "unable to provide a permanent fix" we are able to repair them at our service centers permanently.Are you having issues with your controllers? We'd be happy to help.Thanks, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thank you for all your help. For those who are struggling with the same issue - Vive does fix controllers as long as they are under warranty and were not deliberately damaged. I had to send the controllers to the repair centre, but they fixed those pretty quick and returned those back to me within a week. This does not forgive the issue though. I am not the first and not the last person getting the same issue. It did cost me personal time and even money to get it fixed. I would understand if it was only one controller broken, but both? - for such an expensive toy they sure did use cheap parts. The support has been wonderful though. I would mark this issue as closed.

Drabus Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I was unfortunately unable to PM you. Couldn't find link! This same issue started yesterday with one of my controllers, being unable to press up/left/right on the thumb pad. Are there any certified repair locations so that I could go in person to a location so I'm not without a controller for an entire week, as that would be rather inconvenient, especially during Christmas/New Year's when multiple people are looking forward to trying it out for the first time! Don't want to say "Yeah sorry we can't play Space Pirate, since weapons selection is broken!" or whatnot. Not a great image =( If there are locations to fix, I'm in Ottawa ON if that helps. I was unable to reach live chat, as it was offline when I tried (just a few minutes ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
