Oculus Rift

Quest Pro looks amazing on older Rift games that were designed for OLED. Arktika.1 in particular is a very dark game that looks incredible on the Pro, far sharper than the Rift but with nice dark blacks.
 
Just in case Rift owners were feeling a little left out after V66

 
Some people still use the CV1, and to be honest, if you have a 3 sensor setup its tracking is probably the best out there and the CV1 touch controllers are perfectly balanced. It's also a very lightweight and comfy headset. The only reason I wanted to upgrade from mine (which I still have) is the very low resolution.

I somehow have acquired four CV1's???? Yes, it has a low resolution, but with the power of modern GPUs and super-sampling cranked up to eleven, the initial shock of the barn door effect quickly disappears when you get into a game or experience.

Mines packed up, as well as my Index. I mainly use my Quest Pro now as that's just got the nicest all-round display and best form factor. (Q3 gets a look-in for stuff that uses its extra power or better MR).
 
One of the best things about having a CV1 is a large Oculus PC library of games I picked up back in the day which now work at hugely better resolutions and wirelessy on Quest Headsets. Lone Echo 1 & 2, Asgards Wrath even some more obscure games like Arktika.1, Wilson's Heart, and From Other Suns play really nicely on modern Meta headsets and often look as good if not better than the recent PCVR games.
 
I've had a boxed up DK2 sat behind my desk at work for... a very long time. Fond memories of those early days, but also some memory nausea from playing janky games.

It was such a faff to setup with all those wires as we didn't have a PC it could stay set up on but I'd like to give it a go before I try any of the current headsets. I'm close to getting a Q3.
 
Just bought one of these bad boys, brand new in box..... Wireless PCVR yeah baby!

I wanted one of those back in the day, but the cost was more than the headset.

Picked this one up for £66. Cheaper than CEX. Surprisingly, the battery had 50% charge left. Time to test it out with the default software. The lack of microphone functionality isn't an issue but we'll see how bad the frame drops are before I put openTPCast on it.

Post up some results when you get it up and running. Would be interested to see what the performance is like. There was supposed to be some heat off them. Which is good news for you coming into these colder months of the year :p
