Valve's innovative new virtual reality controllers, called Knuckles, are still a ways away from hitting the public.

Fortunately, YouTube channel Tested got their hands on them early and they look like they deliver on everything they promise to.

Will Smith of Foo VR -- not the Hollywood actor -- brought the Knuckle controllers on the show to demonstrate how well they work. The controllers look kind of like a standard HTC Vive controller, but with more buttons and a hand strap so players can use them without needing to grip them.

The Knuckles controllers were revealed in June and Smith said that he is working on a game that utilizes them, so they can't be too far from release.
