A necessary controller modification before release; to hold stuff while in VR

Would be neat if they introduced a hardware update that makes it possible to flip it off the inner palm of the hand while the sheath is still attached to the hand, so I can grab a wheel or joystick. Simulation games are huge in VR and I think VR controllers should accommodate them.

It’s quite easy. There would be a hinge along the lateral part of the controller, between the index and thumb. The controller would be clipped onto the sheath that the hand goes through. You would be able to unclip it and flip it over using that hinge, while it’s still attached to the hand as the sheath would be in place. This frees the inside of the hand to grab a joystick, wheel, arcade stick, or even a drink if you’re reading something in VR (with a high res HMD like Pimax),

As the sheath would still be on the inside of the palm, better make it from a soft material so it wouldn’t be too rigid when holding stuff…
