Jim Silly-Balls posted:Whyyyyyyyy are there no aftermarket Rift CV1 cables? Because of a manufacturing misunderstanding causing the production equipment for the specialized connectors to be unavailable and very, very expensive to ramp back up, right as the S was replacing it. California has some sort of law for equipment replacement that means every last unsold or salvaged cable needs to be held in reserve for legitimate support replacements. This is the sort of snafu that only happens once when hardware companies deliver their first big device; future headsets will not have this issue.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Whyyyyyyyy are there no aftermarket Rift CV1 cables? Related to this, I'm thinking of selling my CV1 with four sensors setup. Cable is good, though it does have a minor nick in the casing i've electrical taped over. Wouldn't refuse a reasonable offer. If anyone's interested you can toss me a pm.

If you’re planning on selling the headset I probably wouldn’t split the cable from it

So from the OP, is the Oculus Quest highly recommended over the Rift S? I owned (and sold, because I made a big life change and thought I needed money at the time) a Rift S last year and liked it, but I might decide to get a Quest if the tethered performance is comparable to a Rift S. Like I don't mind some very slight lag since it's streaming off my computer, I just don't want a huge performance hit if that's a factor. I imagine untethered is fine for like watching movies or whatever, which is the main reason I was considering getting a Quest over the Rift S. It'd be cool to have a portable headset I can take to any room of the house and load up a movie or play some sitting/controller games in bed or whatever. But I also want to be able to play all the Steam VR games I already own at decent framerates.

I could maybe sell two cameras separately (since it comes headset+2 by default) but i wouldn't want to sell the headset/cable separately unless i had two buyers lined up out of the gate

I don't like that the OP heavily implies the Rift S has a very niche place which I think is not true. Rift S is the lower-cost option when PC-gaming is your use case, and you fit in the IPD range. I have a CV1, but the games I mostly play I'd need to be tethered anyway. I know two people with Quests and 1 never unplugs it from it's tether and the other rarely does. HOWEVER Being able to make it portable is a helluva good deal and the 1 guy who does take his portal has basically decided he's always going to have a portable VR even though that only accounts for like 10% of his playtime. So if you think there's times when you'd really like a portable VR, Quest is your device. However, understand you are going to take a bit of a drop in quality for more money, so balance that against portability.

Its specific to my noggin, but I don't find the two headsets remotely equal on user comfort. I can wear a rift s for an hour or more ok but my face is /dying/ after 4-5 minutes in a quest. It is uncomfortable and hurts like no other HMD I've tried, and I've donned quite a few. Neither portable nor tethering use cases sound really appealing to me versus just having a rift s. I also am willing to trade LCD black levels and other negative performance for the higher pixel fill ratio too, but that's pretty subjective.

I've got both a Quest and a Rift S, and the S gets used way more often. I find the Rift S to be more comfortable, especially for longer sessions, and while link works pretty great it's still a little finicky.

I have a killer space to play in w/o a desktop computer (or a 25' tether for that matter) that I would really love to get more use out of and the Quest would be perfect if I could get it to fit me comfortably. Comfort on these things is highly dependent on headshape and a bunch of other factors that are hard to judge from reviews or discussions in dead gay online forums. Every user gets a customized fit, FOV, etc, based on head shape, eye position, and other details and it will always be trash for some folks under a one-size fits all model unfortunately. I think they'd have to sell Quests in a couple of different sizes to really account for population variation, not to mention obvious quality-of-life improvements like putting compute and battery on the back of the HMD strap or even off-head.

My Index controllers finally became unusable, so I'm back to Vive wands until Valve gets back to me with RMA info. When I first got the Index controllers I thought they were nice, but not that big a step up, but it's one of those steps up that you really feel when you have to step back down, like going from 1440p back to 1080p, or Windows 10 to Windows 7. These things are huge and heavy and bulky and it sucks having to hold on to them the whole time.

Some Oculus news -Oculus Go is now $150 -Facebook has made a patent for what it seems a VR force feedback glove (not that patents are indications of future commercial products) -Until you Fall is free this weekened -Path of the Warrior coop mode released (and featuring Cross-Play) -Rec Room Quest version has released the Laser Tag rooms, before that mode was missing -Fail Factory! released.

I would stick with the Rift S if you’re primarily going to be playing SteamVR. It’s a solid, comfortable headset, and the Link stuff has some mixed reviews.

You might not know what you're missing with an untethered headset like the Quest - certainly, we don't know everything coming down the pipeline for it, in terms of hand tracking stuff or new games. But if your PC is up to it, your IPD is within an acceptable range, and you're confident that PCVR is the way for you the Rift S exceeds the Quest in comfort and display quality. Link might be good enough for you, and the performance hit shouldn't be stark, but everyone's line is different. I have both and even though Rift S is more comfortable, I personally favor the Quest because it's easier to pick up and take off anytime, as long as I keep it charged.

Death stranding might actually be entertaining if you had to use your body to balance your packages and if you got to load them on your backpack in VR

Both of them have hosed joysticks, but what actually triggered the RMA was that the right controller stopped charging. When I plug it in, the light flashes orange for a fraction of a second and then goes dark and stays dark.

There's no real useful definition of "generation" but right now a bunch of headsets came out in the past year so it'll be a while before we get anymore. Right now, the headsets are also all still essentially cell phones in front of your face, and the only new thing there is the tracking technology. I wouldn't expect to see stuff like eye tracking and foveated rendering, varifocal, or anything fundamentally new in a consumer headset for several years probably.
