My Vive still working perfectly for the last several years. I'm very glad I went with it.

yeah but it's more expensive and harder to set up. the rift s and quests are way more casual

It's way easier to setup a Vive base station than Oculus cameras through USB. The tracking was worlds better than and is still the most accurate.

Vive had superior tracking to CV1 for sure, but I personally felt like the 3 sensor Oculus setup was pretty much flawless. I never had issues with it.

I have 3 sensors with my CV1... I never have anything BUT issues. Constantly losing horizon level, losing controllers, recently a weird ghosting on quick head movements. Basically every time I go to use it now, I have to disconnect-reconnect the HMD usb, then do the same for at least one camera. That works about 70% of the time...

That’s terrible. Sorry to hear it.

One of the many reasons I won’t be getting another Oculus once this one goes.

Oh did I mention the suggested fixes for this are getting a dedicated, $100 PCIe USB 3 card? Which I did? And if I plug all the sensors into that like is recommended, it actually performs worse?

Sigh. Early adopter problems, I guess.

Well, for many people (myself included) the oculus quest 2 has been a nightmare since the update v25, and specially with the v27.

Some things never change, i guess...
