Cheers

Have you guys been given any steer as to when you'll receive stock? I've seen the 24th September mentioned elsewhere.

deuse · 6 Sep 2018 at 08:26

Waiting for reviews to see if it's better than the TPcast.

Just for a clip :confused:

is it solid gold?

NikTheSHNIK · 14 Sep 2018 at 08:31

Just had the info the first shipment in to the UK should be with us the week commencing 8th October.

LordFeste · 25 Sep 2018 at 14:25

Pre-order placed. Good times.

As for the OP's gif of Mel Gibson shouting in his terrible Scottish accent in a holywood portrayal of the Scots' struggle against a neighbouring country .... enough said.

Cool, hope you enjoy it!

If I remember rightly stock should be arriving soon. Will double check on Monday and get back on this thread with an updated ETA.

Apologies on the gif choice. It was "FREEEEEEEEDOM" or an American freedom bird/meme... To be honest I didn't expend a lot of thought on it, I wanted to get the post up!

Ravenger · 29 Sep 2018 at 22:47

Reviews of this are looking pretty good! Wish there was an official Rift equivalent (I know, TP Cast, but that's far from perfect and V1 requires using their special router).

redrevis · 1 Oct 2018 at 11:24

Interested to see if anyone gets this working on a VR laptop with a PCI-e expansion.

The-Plethora · 1 Oct 2018 at 15:21

I do like the idea of this, having a PCI express card to get rid of the external box and the cabling is a neat solution. The one thing I don't like is that the power pack seems to be on a lead and belt clip? Just seems a bit of an afterthought to me. Personally I wish they offered a solution to mount it to the headset itself, sure it would add a little weight but cuts out more cables. I'm sure I could cobble something together but at that price I don't think we should have to.

ThePainBarrier · 1 Oct 2018 at 19:26

Ordered! Looking forward to this. No more tripping over the wires and having to unwind yourself.

jibbas · 8 Oct 2018 at 11:11

Any news on when you'll be able to begin shipping these?

Edit: As soon as I ask, I get my shipping email hah!

Awesome, mine has been on pre order but no shipping email yet

let us know how it is!

ThePainBarrier · 8 Oct 2018 at 12:26

Got my shipping notification.
Also treated myself to some perscription lenses for it too!

bimbleuk · 8 Oct 2018 at 12:28

I had a TP Cast for a while and it was much better without the cable but messy with separate boxes so I was waiting on this release to get another wireless solution.

bimbleuk · 9 Oct 2018 at 07:12

6 left in stock. Will these go out of stock for a while?

lego · 9 Oct 2018 at 19:08

So been using mine most of the afternoon with no issues. Easy to set up, and games like gorn / Evansion / Arizona sunrise are now a joy to play. Anyone else loving the freedom?

bimbleuk · 10 Oct 2018 at 07:24

Yep I've been missing the TP Cast setup (apart from the complexity!) but was more interested in the simple setup of the Vive with just the coax to the PCIE card. Only played Arizona so far but it's much easier to move around the dark spaces with no tether coiling around you.

funky_llama · 10 Oct 2018 at 21:15

Have been playing some Beat Saber, Superhot and Conductor this evening. Massive improvement over the tether, which has been a bit of a bug bear since day one. Set up was straight forwards and had no issues with lag or de-sync yet. Honestly haven't noticed any difference in performance from using the tether. Immersion is improved and I was able to forget it was there rather than stopping to kick the cable out of the way or unwind every few minutes.

The battery came with very little charge so it went on as soon as I got home. I got a good hour and a half out of a couple hours charge and I didn't run it flat yet. Going to give it a full charge tonight and see how far I can take it tomorrow
