I just posted this question on the Pimax Official reddit channel, but posting here. I am hoping for a quick response and resolution…
I purchased an 8Xk back at the end of March from Amazon, I did not actually try to setup the headset until today (long story, but I rebuilt my pc …new mb, cpu, ram, gpu, etc… and haven’t been playing games). I just tried downloading the PiTools today and immediately noticed the resolution was not what I expected (I had an 8XK but had problems and returned it, so I know what to expect). I just took a look at the PiTools and it identifies the headset as a 5K Super. Seriously! I just took a look at the outside of the box that the headset came in and there are 3 stickers on it - One Shows 5K Super and the other shows Pimax Vision 8 K X VR Heaset and the last sticker shows Pimax VR Model#2, Pimax 5KS. I have gotten sent a mislabeled headset! Please help me get this rectified, I can’t believe this could occur.
This why you never wait several months before testing out a headset you just bought. Could have been stuck with it once Amazon’s return policy window expired.

I had this issue 3 times when trying to buy lighthouse 2.0s on amazon…each time they sent me a 1.0 lighthouse instead! Each time it was in a 2.0 box as well, someone was deliberately doing it.
Yep! I mean, I did open up the box and it looked like an 8KX headset…I definitely didn’t plan to not plug it in for 2 months, I just had too many other obligations that kept on getting in the way of fun time!
