Got mine today. Loved the picture once I worked out the best way of fitting it, bigger sweet spot than CV1 but a bit smaller than Index. Lost tracking on one controller twice for no apparent reason, very irritating seeing it locked in place and rotating a little no matter where I waved my arm around as the other one worked perfectly fine. Turning that controller off and on restored functionality but I shouldn't have to do that. Granted, I've never used inside-out tracking before and am spoiled. Turned off the vibration because it felt awful. Haven't gotten the 1.6 batteries yet, maybe those will help.
Most of the decent reviews seem about right: this thing needs a WMR tracking update (there's one in beta if you opt in to the insider thing) and a new set of controllers to really sing. The more hysterical posts on reddit are over-egged. I'm not sure if I'll keep the Index in the other room and the G2 with the HOTAS/wheel setup or use the Knuckles controllers with this rig and sell the HMD. It feels kinda decadent having both. But surely 2020 calls for some decadence.
SDE isn't gone despite all the raving, it's hard to detect if motionless, but the second you move your head around you see that fine mesh pretty clearly. Still, a nice advance and a reasonable price point if you have a good CPU/GPU. We're getting there. Next I want a non-Pimax 4k x 4k and 20-30 degrees more FOV! And a real monster of a GPU to drive it, so it should be more than a few years for that. Hopefully we'll have sorted out cheaper varifocal by then, that's a real stumbling block for comfort in these things.
Anyone try the Windows Insider build with the tracking update yet? I'm scared that'll break everything else and I won't be able to do that work stuff that pays for all these toys.
Out of curiosity, what’s your IPD, and how deep-set would you say your eyes are? I personally found the sweet spot in the CV1 bigger and easier to find than on the G2. My IPD is around 72 and my eyes are quite deep-set.
