[Official] Oculus Quest 2

I didn’t like the foam, ordered the free upgrade, HATE PV so found theses covers on Amazon. I was expecting terry but they are jersey but very comfortable. I do like the memory foam on the upgrade but these covers just won’t fit right

Edit @W1zzard uploading images via FF on iOS results in sideways images sometimes…

in 6 months when you still haven't opened it, I'll but it off you for a very good previous business friend discount.

Things should start to settle this coming week. The plan is to open it up next weekend. So, that is very unlikely. However, if it were to happen you would be on that short list of preferred traders.

Nothing like a nice, pricy shelf decoration.

But, I know the feeling. When I got my 3060Ti, I went almost 2 full weeks before I had time to get it installed. Busy at work and outside of work. Life happens.

I'm determined to open it this weekend. Just wondering, are there any good "quick start" guides out there? I have literally NO experience with anything VR.

They have a bunch of stuff you can try to show you what you can do but it’s all pretty simple to set up. I was totally new to it too. Getting the games you want to play up and running I found to be more of a challenge. SteamVR makes their stuff pretty easy, Oculus sometimes involves some effort depending on the game. I play a lot of Elite Dangerous that one took some fiddling initially, FS2020 even more fiddling but once you get it going then it’s no different than firing up any other game.

WOW! With version did you get the 64gb or the 256gb? If it's the 64gb and not open then take it back and get the new 128gb version which is the same price as the 64gb version at 299 est.

When you first start it the standard getting started tutorial starts and steps you through it. Also, don't forget about this post. I need to update the OP with this as well.

I bought the 256gb version. If the 128gb was available at the time, that's probably what I would have bought. I also bought that HTC Vive headset thingy and a battery pack holder. I have no idea what to do with any of it. I did the research then got into a licensing class at work and now I can't remember anything I researched. Sucks getting old. :laugh:

I believe so. I'll open things up this weekend and take some pics before I try to get it all up and running.

Nice! I can't wait to hear what you think about it. I'm very interested in hearing how well your rx 6700 xt does with pcvr. Watch some how to videos on youtube for AirLink. Also, think about getting Virtual Desktop. AirLink was working really good when they announced it but right now it's hit or miss.. I've been using Virtual Desktop. I bought a usb cable too for 16 bucks. I want to try it as well too. My desktop is wireless and vd and airlink scream at me to have my desktop on Cat.

What happened to your airlink?

Since v31 it's been hit or miss.. Sometimes it works flawless and then other times it won't connect. I usually requires a restart before I can get it to connect. Also since Guy Godin updated Virtual Desktop to use the headset to help with lag it's been pretty flawless. I still prefer AirLink when it works. It might have something to do with my rig being wireless.

EDIT: I haven't tried it with v32. I just got v32 the other day. I need to give it a try.

I definitely got a nice uplift from my 5700XT to 6700XT most noticeably in Elite Dangerous which is my go to VR game it also supports 120hz so basically on the 6700XT using the same settings as before it's hitting 120 most of the time except in stations where it hits 60. That is one thing I don't really like about it it's either "all or nothing" back when I was running ED at 90hz it was the same deal either 90 or 45 and well 45 is NOT a great VR experience despite what I'm doing doesn't require high FPS you can still "feel it"
I play ED with the Link Cable but as far as Airlink I haven't had any issue playing Alyx or Walking Dead with it. That said I got in late enough I haven't had the need for Virtual Desktop and do it all via the Oculus Dashboard be it wired or Airlink

Yeah I caught that earlier while we were out. I'll have to go back and watch it with audio.. I just read subtitles.. lol I'll be ready to update and pass this one down to my daughters.

Octavean · Sep 25, 2021

Yeah, I thought the rumors of the new controllers without tracking rings was nonsense but now not so much. Improved controllers that overcome typical occlusion Issues would be fantastic. That was really my major gripe with the Quest and Quest 2.

Even if this new Quest option (Plus / Pro) cost a little more the the current ~$299 entry level it would IMO be worth it.

The possibilities are quite exciting.

Oh yeah for sure. I'll upgrade and pass my Quest 2 down to my daughters. lol Only thing I'm worried about is that the pro will be 600+ and if that's the case then I hope the Plus model is not more than 400 or 450. I've spent to much money on VR HMD's.. lol I'll probably get one anyway but I'll wait to see what Valves has up there sleeve. Someone has already made a video of the Index working on the Dev Steam Deck. I bet Valve is going to do what they did the last time and announce their new HMD like 10 minutes before F8... lol

It would really be awesome if the Oculus Quest (2) Plus / Pro could allow for a modular upgrade. For example, current Quest owners could upgrade the HMD only at a lower price and continue to use the old controllers. Or The other way around, upgrade just the controllers to the newer version and use the current Quest 2 HMD.

This would seem technically impossible but it would be easier on the wallet.

Valve Index on Steam Deck, yeah I’ve seen that video too. Interesting proof of concept but the Steam Deck is almost certainly going to be a bit on the low-end when it comes to PC VR. Unless Valves next HMD is considerably cheaper then the current Index I’m not likely to buy into it.

I really like the idea of the Steam Deck but you just know it will be difficult to acquire and will be scalped to hell and back.
