If I was going to buy a new headset just for PCVR without caring about standalone stuff, and didn't already have a Quest 2, I would wait till 18th October and get the Pico 4 when it launches in the UK. Virtual desktop looks good and has less haloing from the fresnel lens. You do get compression but NVENC with virtual desktop looks good. Relatively cheap until Valve gets their next gen headset out.Does anyone use the quest for just PC steam games?
I am looking at buying new VR setup after my Rift CV1 died.
But I only want it to play steam games on from my PC like H3VR, Blood trails, dead effect 2 and other shooters.
so I don't know if the best options is use the quest 2 with link cable or try over wireless?
My router next to my PC if that helps much.
I read compression and lag can be an issue?
Thank you.

There is a lot of really cool standalone stuff that only works on Quest 2 though, and the ecosystem gets better support from devs in general so I'll wait for a Quest 3. Sideloading Quake2, Quake3, Doom3, PSP emulators and cool mod projects the Quest 2 is worth it for me. The comfort improvement and lens upgrade on Pico 4 is nice, shame it doesn't have a display port connection like Pico Neo Link 3 but you do get the trade off of the better fit. No 120 FPS support on the Pico 4, but the Quest 2 didn't have that at launch as well. Quest Pro will be good but likely to cost more than 1k.
