Gah, my MVH headset arrived today but the top of the battery clip snapped off as soon as I put the battery inLooking at where it's broke, it's very flimsy so I'm not surprised. Dunno if I just got unlucky or they're weak at that point. Gonna have to try and superglue it in place, I think.
Contact him and let him know with a photo.
One of the clips which holds the strap to the headset arms had snapped on mine. The packaging is amazingly shoddy, especially considering 3D printed plastic isn't the most robust of materials. Fortunately, one missing clip doesn't appear to make much difference.

Excellent
Yeah, he seems to be on the ball. Was always polite and helpful whenever I emailed him.
You need to buy VD from the Quest store - they're different products.

I got a Quest 2 yesterday and the (official!) link cable keeps disconnecting from the PC if it moves about at all when connected to the headset. The cable doesn't fall out, I need to wiggle it a bit to get it to re-connect. It disconnects playing L.A. Noir, and doing the fight scenes. It's not exactly a hyperactive game! Is this normal?

Try turning it around to see if it's a problem with cable or the port in the headset.

I've tried another cable and it still does it (but worse). The cable is properly "clicked" into place and it does it in either orientation. I had a session that time that it didn't disconnect but I didn't do anything different so it's not every 5 minutes or anything.
Potentially the motherboard/chipset/drivers etc?
Ta, but I'd argue they are the different versions of the same product - they do look identical
They may look the same, but they're fundamentally different. The Quest version is a complete rewrite from the ground up, and includes the Steam and Oculus wireless streaming features which the desktop version can't support. The PC version is really just a way to bring your desktop into VR and use it to play 2D games and watch movies.
The developer has said that in retrospect he should have changed the name when bringing it to Quest, as it has caused confusion.
But anyway, the cost is tiny compared to the official hardware based wireless solutions for Vive and Oculus Rift headsets which cost hundreds, and were really tricky to setup.
Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing, the naming certainly lead me to be confused

How does the resolution scaling / settings work with this? I can set the resolution in the oculus desktop app (and refresh rate), I can set a resolution for Steam VR and on a game-per-game basis, and change the resolution in game for some games. And how come the desktop app lists a resolution of "1.0" as 4128*2096 and not the native resolution of the Quest 2?

Only available on Quest
VR has to render at a higher resolution from native to process for barrel distortion. A significant part of the image is discarded after rendering and warping to account for the lens distortion.
