We also owna VR development studio iNFINITE Production (www.infinite.cz), would be happy to test the Pimax Sword controllers. Also have backed Sword controllers during original Kickstarter.
We have now received sufficient requests - great thanks to everyone in this thread for participating! Those that are chosen can expect to receive a message in the next couple of days.
I understand that you’ve received sufficient requests now but I only just saw this thread as the Kickstarter project update email was sent out at around 3:30am EST (around 8 hours ago). I hadn’t even had a chance to read that update yet prior to sufficient requests being received.
As such I’m going to throw my name in the hat as well, just in case.

`Jiihaa now I see a light at the end of a tunnel. Maybe getting my controllers already next year_?
I have no idea of any VR games thanks for missing controllers. Keyboard and mouse is no option anywhere. I don’t have any kind of a game controller so I focus in porn while waiting mine. Is it possible to wank with swords in your hand???
You need to do better research. There are plenty of games that you can use a gamepad for a seated experiences.
Here are some to get you Started:
SkyrimVR
Alien Isolation with VR Mod
Distance
SublevelZero
Detached
InMindVR
Elite Dangerous
Obduction VR mode
Asseto Corsa(sp?)
Project Cars 1+2
Dirt Rally games
Starfighter CDF
Everspace
Gunjack
Vox Machinae
WarRobots VR Demo
Telefrag
Ethan Carter VR Dlc
That is an extremely small list. The maker of Alien Isolation Mod iirc has also made one for One of the Halo Games. There is also one for Grand theft Auto 5. Let’s also add VorpX to the mix.
A simple controller is quite cheap. Hard to believe you don’t have even one.
I have half life alyx. What should I use for that? Also Gizmo VR player and Skybox VR player are useless with keyboard and mouse. Uh I never had any console. I tested some gamepad but could not figure out how it works…
Hello, I am an avid VR user who like to test your controller. As a consumer, I would mostly use these controllers in various mainstream games such as Pavlov, Beat Saber, Half-Life Alyx and Blade and Sorcery to name a few. I have experience with various motion controllers and virtual reality headsets, one of which being a 5K business edition whose FOV and OLED panels I enjoyed very much.
I am not an Backer per se, I am but a humble but curious enthusiast who would like to test your product.
My Computer Specifications:
Motherboard: MSI B450
CPU: Ryzen 3600
GPU: AMD 5700
RAM: 32GB 3600MHZ
Storage: 2 480GB SSD’s and 1 500GB HDD
Virtual Reality HMD’s: Quest 2 and Vive Pro
I would love to test these controllers because I’ve currently only been using a leapmotion strapped to my headset. Most games are unplayable even though the hand tracking is perfect, because it has to emulate physical controllers like the index.
I have Superhot VR, VorpX (PS2/N64 emulators, WoW, TF2, RE Village, Cyberpunk 2077, Oddworld Soulstorm etc.), Half Life Alyx, Unity, VRChat, Robo Recall, MS Flight Simulator 2020, PaintLab, GimzoVR, BeanVR, Epic Roller Coasters, etc.
