Get the Rift S if you're planning on using it for PCVR a lot IMHO.

They're not my design so couldn't really sell them, credit to this guy for the awesome design though: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3678066

I wouldn't mind printing some more for the cost of postage and consumables though.

Sent you a msg via trust re this

First couple hours on Half Life Alyx and wow, what a true masterpiece, I haven't used VR since the early days and when I had a CV1 however Valve have really broken the mould with that, incredible experience, I'd even go as far to say worth the outlay of the rift even if it was the only game released!

Awesome times.

Played Beat Saber briefly tonight for the first time, wife and I both really enjoyed it! That one is going to get some use I think.

Can anyone recommend a good set of hand grips for this? I can see me lobbing a controller across the room whilst trying to stab a zombie in the head before long. Find the smooth surface of the controller lacks in that respect.

I've got the AMVR grips, but I don't use them that often as they stop the controllers fitting in my case. I find though with grips attached the ergonomics of the controller suffer a bit as the grip moves your hand slightly away from a position that's comfortable to use the thumbstick and buttons (a bit like the Index controllers funnily enough). But you might find it ok. Everyone's hands are different.

Ultimately, most of the content on these forums is help, with a large slice of silly.

I wonder if I am little dyslexic myself. The flow of your posts seems natural to me and I find them very easy to read.

In fact I didn't even notice that your posts were "weirdly spaced" until somebody in a GD thread asked you about it. I had to scroll back up to see what strange posting style he was talking about!!
