I play with an Index. I’m looking for an alternative though, and the one game I play regularly is Beat Saber. I’d like to know what the experience is like with other hardware.

    I should have mentioned: I have tried playing with a Quest 2. I missed the higher refresh rate of the index and the controllers were painful to hold. But it was playable!

      I’m on a Vive Pro with Eye tracking. I seem to have problems with the vibrator being intermittent in the controllers after a couple years, I’ve gotten 2 new controllers after not being able to fix it myself. I’ve had some tracking issues in the past, but that was probably SteamVR software related as it gets better or worse when it patches. Sometimes, I feel like VR developers cater to Quest players and ignore Vive players by not even quality checking their patches, I’ve had to disable Quest-specifc options in SteamVR and OpenVR to get a better Vive experience. In all, I’ve had a pretty alright experience with some tenable issues. On days it works, it works well, but with some stuttering on more modded maps like Noodle Extensions enabled maps. Stuttering improves if I don’t stream to my friends in Discord, or if I use OBS instead and stream on Twitch, probably something with my PC being older having been built in 2015. I’ve upgraded to a Nvidia GTX 3090 though. I’ve been able to climb ranked leaderboards in Beat Saber using my configuration. I use Windows 10 but I’m going to look into Fedora Linux for gaming when W10 goes EOL.
