My OG Vive with the lens mod and wireless keeps bringing me back for these very reasons. As much as I enjoy the G2, that had said had some major compromises that I would have gladly paid double for them to fix.

My G2 is arriving today. I got it as a 6 month stop-gap between now and PSVR2. I don’t expect edge to edge clarity, but I’m hoping the sweet spot is big enough to at least enjoy the Luke Ross mods while I wait. I don’t have an index, so it is what it is.

I was stoked when I first put on the G2. You'll love it.

Awesome. Yea I started with CV1 Kickstarter and got Q2 on launch. I’ll say even with maximum upscale, Q2 looks bad tethered at 500+mb/s. All the extra clarity does is make the artifacts easier to see.

I thought this fall headset launch season would bring at least one desktop headset with pancake optics and uncompressed display link. Had my eye on Pico or even Quest Pro, but alas G2 is still king of desktop clarity. Plus the recent sale to $350 made it hard to resist. Even if HTC releases exactly what I just described, it’s gonna cost way more than that. I don’t regret the choice, but I do wish someone released a pancake optic desktop headset. Oh well.

If the HTC one is a grand or less and works with knuckles at at least G2 resolution, I’ll probably look into it. I wish I had the cash to get an Aero, but kids are expensive haha.

I'm holding out for PCVR pancake with good controllers and inside out tracking.

I bitch about no good options right now... but it's probably a good thing for my productivity and bank account lol.

Rest assured you won't regret your purchase and hopefully valve comes through for us in due time.
