The best toys for VR game haptics
VR games drive a toy through Game Link. Here is which kind of toy to pick for VRChat, Captain Hardcore, and vamX.
VR games like VRChat, Captain Hardcore, and vamX can drive a toy through ToyControl's Game Link. Which toy to pick depends on the kind of haptics the game sends.
How game haptics work
A VR game does not send a precise stroke script. It sends intensity signals based on what is happening in the game. ToyControl's Game Link receives those and drives your toy. Because most game integrations are built around the Lovense vibration model, a vibrating toy is the safe default. See Game Link.
The picks
- A Lovense vibrator (Lush, Domi, or similar). The safe default. Most game haptic integrations expect a vibrating toy, and Lovense is what they are built around.
- A stroker (Tremblr FM-T or Kiiroo KEON). For games and scenes that are stroker-aware, a stroker turns game motion into stroke motion. Best for the adult VR games designed with strokers in mind.
- Kiiroo toys. A reasonable middle ground if you want a brand that spans both vibration and stroker hardware.
What to consider
- Which games? Social VR like VRChat leans on vibration. Adult VR games vary; some are stroker-aware.
- The helper app. Game Link needs the ToyControl helper app. See Do I actually need the ToyControl helper app.
Bottom line
For broad VR game haptics, a Lovense vibrator is the dependable pick. Add a stroker if the specific games you play are built for one. See Every game that works with your toy.
