Another 8KX first impression for people who wants to know what to expect

As I understand it this was due to some internal miscommunication

  • CN was only shipping the thick foams
  • PimaxUSA told the CN guys to include both foams
  • CN switched to only shipping thin foams

You can send a ticket to get the thick foam (which has a cutout for eyeglasses) shipped to you.

They released Pitool 1.0.1.264 Beta

AFAIK the issue is due to how wide the pimax headsets are and the placement of the sensors on the headset, as I previously mentioned here.

I would be hesitant to use glue if you have any plans of changing the speaker modules at some point. It might be better to use some sort of silicon sealant but I don’t know enough about glues/sealants to give a proper recommendation.

I have yet to find a headset with better god rays than the Pimax headsets. They are so small that you generally only see some minor rings (god rings?) as opposed to the in-your-face blinding spotlights of the Index. I saw something that looked like some serious god rays at one point but it turned out to be lens glare from light outside the headset that had gotten in through the massive eyeglass cutouts.

For reference, I have owned the following headsets: Rift CV1, Vive, Odyssey+, 8K, Index
