Great idea with the velcro ties.
Quick to fit + you can easily test lots of different pads.
I had a roll of double sided velcro & attached a kiwi design 6mm pad on top of my 11.5mm pimax one.
It’s just about right for me now.
Oddly The 11.5mm + 6mm on top, feels better than a kiwi design 18mm on it’s own & just about keeps the lens off my nose as long as I dont tighten too much.
11.5mm pimax + 18mm was too much & affected outer distortion.
I was fighting with the cushion height for weeks so as to let my glasses fit in without hurting my nose…ending with contact lenses as the only solition.
Has anyone tried the VRCover Odyssey 24mm foam replacement ?
I used one of their product for the Vive (the slim 6mm foam replacement) and was happy about it, but unfortunately, they don’t have anything specially made for the Pimax, so I was wondering if it would fit.
As a matter of fact I am near sighted. My 4K is sharp without glasses but my 5K+ I need to wear my glasses for, or lenses.
Is there a reason why they didn’t do it the same way as the 4K?
I am considering selling my 5K+ again just for that.
I posted why they didn’t make the 5k & 8k like tge 4k.
The 4k being designed to accommodate Near sighted did cause strain for some with 20/20 vision. Anyone farsighted the headset was unusable by most even with trying to use their glasses.
Some farsighted users like @lukeb initially had a double up mod using reading glasses to normalize the focus. Later Luke added washers to correct the lens to screen distsnce (1.0mm)
Another user created a 3d printed spacer of 1.5mm to eliminate the myopia support.
Now if pimax had they could have had a simple knob to move lenses closer or far away like the vive pro has. However could introduce more difficulties in their distortion profile.due to canted display distance to lens vs gen parallell headset with standard lenses.
“Instead of a mount perpendicular to the user’s eyes, the headset’s displays cant outward by 5 degrees. This improves outer FOV while balancing the inner FOV.”
