After my whole experience with the 8kx, I kinda just want to swap to something else. At first I thought it was going to be an amazing experience but it having horrible support, horrible headstrap, bad service and feels super heavy with incomplete software.
Everyones talking about the g2 and I know you can get diy stuff to get it working with knuckles controllers and basestations, but would the imdex full kit be better off, than a g2? I mean, a g2 apparently looks amazing, but when switching from a rift s to 8kx i was just like, wow it looks better but now what? I just want an easy transition so I can finally play vr. Plus the 2 rmas 8kx I have tried, I don’t feel like I am really there in the game and I always feel like im gonna go crosseye even with the best possible ipd unlike with my old rift s. I think lenses matter more to me than resolution and a complete package too
From what you can read it should be e Reverb G2 rather than the Index, as it apparently boasts superior picture quality to a degree you wouldn’t want to miss out on. Tracking is the achilles heel of the G2, but here comes the suggestion you brought up yourself - apply the fix to use Index controllers & lighthouse boxes, and you probably have pretty much the ideal setup for the moment. The 8KX may be a competitor for those willing to deal with all the extra efforts required, but you pointed out that you were rather tired of it, so there you go…

The Reverb G2 includes a slider for linear lens spacing adjustment. The Reverb G2 supports an IPD range of 60mm to 68mm
knobs on the slider doesn’t mean it has only 3 fixed positions & the same source as you mentioned mentions this ^. Im not sure that Im right, but I never heard anything about 3 fixed positions for IPD on G2, nobody never mentioned it, so I believe slider is working in full range with 2 separate displays
The Reverb G2 includes a slider for linear lens spacing adjustment. The Reverb G2 supports an IPD range of 60mm to 68mm, which is surprisingly narrow compared to other VR headsets.
I would definitely not recommend getting a reverb g2 in the hope of constantly using it with index controllers & basestations.
I’ve done a fair bit of reading on this as I have 8kx, index & g2 coming soon.
I have concluded its most likely not worth it.
You want a nice easy experience?
You won’t get that having to mess about calibrating playspaces which will keep unsyncing themselves requiring you to regularly redo the setup.
From what I’ve read from others experiences, the playspaces need resyncing practically every play session & although can work well, just becomes an extra cumbersome task which most don’t want to keep doing
That may have been true in the past but not anymore. I use openvrspace calibrator along with openvr advanced settings and it really only takes 1 minute to do the initial calibration and I haven’t had to recalibrate in months.
That sounds more promising than things I’ve read & heard from others using wmr & index controllers.
I will try it when I get mine although to me it would be very important to have the headset steam tracked also.
It seems attaching a steam tracker to the headset & have it reliably work in games is very problematic.
As someone who started vr on a psvr, personally I think I would be ok with the standard tracking solution.
But like that, its a bad headset to use on my yawvr
