Shiftall Inc. announces the “GripVR”, a Base Station compatible(SteamVR™ Tracking) controller, and the “AddCon”, an expansion attachment for Meta Quest 3. Shiftall will also exhibit these two products at CES 2025, the world’s largest technology event, held in Las Vegas, USA, from January 7 to 10, 2025 (PST).

The GripVR is an ORDINARY controller for SteamVR™ Tracking (for Base Station). It does not have unique features, but users can utilize it for general purposes. Shiftall has designed the button layout to follow the mainstream layout seen in recent years. The controller includes touch sensors on the trigger, AB/XY buttons, and a stick, enabling it to support all hand signs in VRChat. It also incorporates the sensor on the thumb rest, a recent addition in VRChat.

Users can use the GripVR in combination with the MeganeX superlight 8K, as well as various SteamVR™ Tracking-compatible VR headsets from other manufacturers.

‍Input: 4 buttons (AB / XY, system, joystick press) + 1 joystick Analog operation is possible for the joystick, trigger, and grip.

Touch sensor locations: AB / XY buttons, joystick, trigger, thumb rest

Battery Life: Approx. 8 hours

Charging method: USB Type-C

Supported VR Headsets: Valve Index / HTC VIVE / VIVE pro / MeganeX / MeganeX superlight 8K To use it with the Meta Quest series, users will need to install OpenVR Space Calibrator software and set up Base Station.

AddCon is an expansion controller that users can attach to the Meta Quest 3/3S/Pro controllers, allowing them to add a wheel and buttons. By combining it with the shift function using the touch sensor, users can assign more than 14 functions. Shiftall developed it so that people who enjoy VR photos and avatar gimmicks in virtual spaces can express themselves more conveniently and diversely.

Suppose you have embedded an extended camera app like VirtualLens2 into a VRChat avatar or incorporated many gimmicks using OSC. You may think, “I want an analog operation wheel and buttons that can instantly output OSC commands!” Opening the Expressions Menu and operating it is not fast enough to adjust the camera’s aperture and zoom or perform avatar gimmick operations at a speed unnoticeable to friends. AddCon allows you to send out 14 types (12 on/off, two analog) of OSC commands for camera operation, avatar gimmick control, etc., without opening the Expressions Menu.

Shiftall plans to release the dedicated application for AddCon first for the PC version, with a smartphone version to follow. The PC application will run on low-powered laptops that are not VR-compatible and can also send OSC commands to Quest standalone versions of VRChat as an OSC command transmission device. The application will also include a function to assign specific keyboard operations.

AddCon features a touch sensor built into the part where the little finger rests. Whether the little finger is touching the sensor or not can switch the operation of all buttons and wheels, similar to the shift key on a PC. This function doubles the number of OSC commands that the user can send.

‍Charging method: USB Type-C
