Theoretically, if they could have pulled off the world-scale meme and made it work for everyone somehow, having the whole face be a touch pad would be better, as it both gives us better thumb control in-game to make gestures as well as lets us do the pinch grab in a much more natural way. Whereas we sometimes have to grip our whole hand or only press the trigger to grab things like arrows, with a touch pad, you'd have to press down on your thumb and index fingers at the same time to initiate it, and it would actually feel like a pinch grab. One of the coolest things about Touch initially versus the Vive wands was how natural it was to just use your hands almost like your real hands. If you wanted to grab an object, you just sort of reach your hand out and put it into a grip and it would work. You almost didn't have to think about it. But it was still flawed. If we could come up with another way to do locomotion and eliminate the need for a stick, a Touch without thumbstick, with Knuckles strap, and with truly reliable tracking of all fingers would be the best VR controller for quite a while.
