For more information on the new Oculus Touch controllers jump over to the official Oculus website for details and full specifications by following the link below.

It looks like the long-awaited Oculus Touch controllers will cost £190 in the United Kingdom, which means, after all that price posturing, the full Oculus Rift virtual reality experience will be expensive as HTC Vive’s. Also included is VR platform game Lucky’s Tale, various 3D 360 degree videos and VR movies, and access to the Oculus Store.

UK: Amazon.co.uk, John Lewis, Curry’s PCWorld, GAME Digital Plc, and the London department store Harrods.

Just as I’ve predicted, Oculus have seemingly priced their Touch controller at over $200 – with leaks coming from United Kingdom game retailer GAME.

The tweet comes from Engadget reporter Nick Summers where a promotional poster reveals that the Oculus Touch Controllers will carry a £190 price tag; the figure rounds out to be around $250 Dollars.
