Are these worth getting for Steam VR?
Does anyone have one that they use for Steam VR and can talk to how well they work?
I used to own a quest 2 and would use it exclusivly for PCVR. The big thing that made me sell it was all the problems that come with streaming games from another computer:
For these reasons, as well as all the bullshit that comes with a Meta product, I got an og HTC vive instead. I do miss how convenient the quest was though.
Even with Wifi6? Thats disappointing.
I'll just keep waiting for the next Steam VR. Hopefully thats just a direct, dedicated wireless HDMI.
Although even a USB 4 cable would be fine. I just dont have the space for all the room cameras.
I cant relate to the above poster at all. Streaming has been flawless to me. I dont notice the delay at all and the image looks great. I am using a Wifi 6 router.
I would never want a cabled headset or one with base stations. No need whatsoever after you get a headrest with extra battery.
I guess I'll just have to get one from somewhere with a good returns policy.
I would prefer it without any cables, but I'd take it over a bad picture, or from a platform like Oculus.
Im usually quite picky when it comes to image quality and response times and i was impressed. My pc is a floor above me and i was thinking the same thing as you.
Maybe its because i use virtual desktop instead of oculus link
I used the cheapest wifi AP recommended by Virtual Desktop, the SFT1200, so your wireless setup is probably better than mine. I'm also using a low end GPU, so frametimes are not always the best. The biggest thing was honestly the Meta bullshit:
