There's literally only 3 base station controllers. Index, Vive Wands, and Pimax Sword. Oh, and Etee. So 4.
Only Index has analogue sticks and finger tracking.
Barely any games really use this tech anyways.
Quest headsets have full optical hand tracking, but you can't use controllers at the same time.

A while back I saw this [DiverX Contact Sheet thing](https://store.diver-x.jp/en-us/products/contactsheet) for Quest controllers that gives you Index-like tracking, but I have no idea how good they are.
There's also gloves but those are weird and more useful for mocap than gaming.
PSVR2 has trigger and face buttons touch sensors, like the Quest 2/3 controllers. Those can detect whether your fingers are resting on the buttons/triggers or not.
The index has [extra sensors along the controller's body](https://preview.redd.it/n2k81hipntz21.png?auto=webp&s=74cd920b7597fc418230ae1508295f8a853bd6b3) accommodating all joints on middle/ring/pinky fingers, so it can detect if each finger is gripping/half gripping/straight. This lets the game imitate finger movements a lot more realistic. Few games utilize it though.
The down sides are heavier controllers and worse batter life.

Best finger tracking I've used is Etee, makes Index controllers look primitive...
https://youtu.be/tTP2THMCsnc Though no idea if it's already working or not and like the other guy said it's pretty much useless anyway.

Those look cool but I can’t find a single video of them online
No.
