Sixense has gone live with their Kickstarter. There are multiple pledge packages depending on if you'd want two controllers, two controllers and a STEM tracker, or 5 STEM trackers. There's even an a la carte way of building what you want.
Please take note that they aren't actually shipping to Kickstarter backers until July of next year, which leaves plenty of time for Oculus or another company to develop a better/less expensive solution. For now I'm not taking the bait, but it'll be interesting to follow just to see how viable their tracking solution has become when compared to the Hydra.

Hopefully they stick with the modular design. It would be great to be able to 3D print a variety of controllers, and just pop in a module.
