Store pages for the mysterious Valve Index appeared last week on Steam before being taken down, pointing to a SteamVR headset coming directly from Valve. Since that time Valve's Doug Lombardi told The Verge that "The tech info on that page, while not comprehensive, is accurate."

With pre-orders and a potential reveal happening May 1 with a release date of June 15 - and will ship with Valve Index Controllers that are based on the previous "Knuckles" controllers seen in the past.

Specs as per the pages which have since been removed are:

It's expected that each item will be sold separately in addition to being bundled. Now, there are rumours that Valve Index will launch alongside a Half Life prequel of sorts - which would be very cool. With SteamVR being one of a few platform on PC for VR it makes sense for Valve to launch its own headset now as hardware prices drop.
