Does anyone notice massive glare and blue skewing on white text? My Quest 1 never had this issue.

Another nice thing about it is you can make fine adjustments to how the foam is positioned on the headset whereas it's fixed on the stock one. It uses velcro to attach on. I wear glasses and I can position the foam to allow more room to fit my glasses.fujiapplelover wrote: ↑ I just received my VR Cover today. There's a thicker and thinner foam pad that comes in the set. I like the thinner one better because I can get closer to the lenses and it feels a lot more comfortable than the stock pad. The thicker one feels very soft and cushioned and I think it provides even more comfort. And it's so much easier to clean after sweaty game sessions. Great for sharing the headset in a house party, you can just use a lysol wipe after each person.

I have bulk paper-based lens cleaners that are individually packed from Costco that I've been trying. I know that everyone online says to not use liquids, but if you get grime in there, you just smudge it around. It's super easy to get the lenses dirty trying to wrangle the default strap on.

The Quest 2 only has a single display...So not likely for this to happen.facebook259 wrote: ↑ Btw. If anyone has a broken set where only the right eye works, I would be willing to make an offer. I just cannot bring myself to pay full price, when I only need half the display.

I'm very happy with mine. The screen is very crisp, I can't see the screen door effect and it's a huge improvement compared to other headsets I've tried in the past. Huge upgrade from a PSVR where graphics were blurry, shoddy tracking, and no analog sticks. It's very fast and snappy with the Snapdragon XR, boot times are quick. Hand tracking is pretty cool. I tried wireless connection to PC with virtual desktop and latency is low enough for games to be playable. Being wireless is my favorite feature of the Quest, wires are so annoying. For the price it's amazing what you get. The only complaint is the stock strap and I've ordered an Elite strap to make it more comfortable.

Are you using an AC Router with 5Ghz WiFi or higher (6Ghz)?

The G2 is $600 USD plus the gaming PC to run it. This is half the cost of the headset alone. I have no doubt the G2 will be better. For me, the value in standalone and price was worth the compromises. I don't think everyone will feel the same way and I think if you have the PC and the money (and portability etc. aren't important) there are far better systems for sure.waven101 wrote: ↑ god i feel dumb for cancelling the g2 for this thing, it is so bad. i didnt run into facebook trouble but the regular strap and the vr cover together plus the fov all together gave me a few headaches already and i eye strain.
it doesnt hold on your head properly forcing the front to be heavy and the face cover to push even more and its a terrible material i dont see how they could have botched this one like this. when i hold it to see if it works then the ipd is the worst, its like looking through a tunnel.
this and the fact that the thing isnt even updated to look better than the quest 1 is making me want to return it.

true but most of these games can run on 1050ti or close to anyways, the cost of this headset is going to be close to that when you consider how it needs add ondpvu wrote: ↑ The G2 is $600 USD plus the gaming PC to run it.

Yes that's the one and I think it's worth it. No tax and free shipping too. I wouldn't want to share my headset with others using the stock pad that soaks up sweat.pca1987 wrote: ↑ https://www.oculus.com/accessories/vr-c ... ement-set/
are you talking about this? so overall would you say it's worth it?

If you've never experienced VR before I would keep it. If you have a quest already I would return it. I don't know if it is the IPD changes but something is kind of off. White text has glare, feels like I'm looking into a tunnel. I definitely didn't experience this with the Quest 1. If this is your first VR experience I think you'll enjoy it and not even notice what I'm talking about.

I'd go for it then. It is a definite upgrade over the PSVR! I'm keeping mine as well because I already sold the quest, but in hindsight I would have just kept the original. At the end of the day once you get into a game you forget about all the negatives anyways. Go with Superhot it is by far my favorite experience on the Quest. Even the first steps tutorial blew me away when I first experienced it.

I left a pretty detailed comparison with PSVR a few pages back. In a nutshell, comfort might be lacking without the elite strap (but I've got mine to play nice and I actually may not spring for the strap until much later) and the IPD adjustment is not ideal but image quality, portability and ease of use and access blows PSVR out of the water. You are getting a good VR experience overall and there are better ones if you spend more but I don't think there is better standalone, untethered and free from a PC experience. The "screen door" is much better than PSVR but I do tend to agree that it is slightly more "tunnel"-y.

Thats exactly how I smudged mine. With my forehead against the lens trying to get it on!Loomy wrote: ↑ I have bulk paper-based lens cleaners that are individually packed from Costco that I've been trying.
