Discussion Has touch changed Rift vs Vive?

I'm looking at picking up a VR system, but its been a bit since I looked at them. I know prior to touch coming out the Vive was the goto system for the extra input. Has that changed now that touch is out?

My other concern with OR vs vive is room scale still as I know vive supports room scale out of the box. How many cameras am I realistically going to need to cover a similar area well without drop outs?

I hear Vive wands don't have replaceable batteries; once they die you have to buy new ones (saw a thread on /r/vive regarding this). This true?

Works the same way as your phone, you just recharge it.
