--rant start-- Bought a Rift S a couple of days back and after spending many hours trying to get it to connect and set up I've given up and I'm sending it back. Seems to be the ongoing firmware issue that's essentially bricked many headsets bought over December/January. Also not pleased with the whole Facebook thing- feels intrusive and the support forum is mostly corporate spam replies, also way too much cookie and skewed google search stuff going on- seems that's where Facebook/Oculus' priorities lie. All in all, possibly the worst consumer experience I've had; surpasses Windows XP PC era woes by a mile. --end rant--
Anyway I'm looking for a Rift S alternative for ED use, must work with Steam VR as I bought ED through Steam. I don't mind paying extra for it as long as it works though not sure I can muster a grand for the Valve index when it finally goes back on sale. My PC spec is i5 6600K/16GB/GTX 980Ti so can't drive the HP.
If anyone's switched from a Oculus to something else then I'd like to hear your experience. It's a shame as the Rift S headset felt really good, also liked the simplicity. How do alternative headsets compare?
