I just got it in tonight, my immediate impressions are:
1. Not nearly as comfortable as my Vive with the Deluxe audio strap
2. Good screen
3. Controllers are super weird at first
4. Kinda glitchy software sometimes, may just be me getting used to it
5. After I got used to the controllers...surprisingly awesome! I like the touch sensors on some of the buttons. So lightweight too!
6. Chaperone is SUPER easy to setup!
7. The controllers are FAR more accurate than I was expecting. Haven't experienced any camera drift like I did with my brother's PSVR.
8. The casting feature to your phone is super nice, especially with kids, so you can help them out with menus & parts of the games. Although it dumps off sometimes & won't pop up on the screen sometimes, so it's not perfect
9. Being wireless is amazingly NICE! Yay for no cable to worry about! I am curious to see what the actual battery life is like tho...
It came with Vader Immortal, super excited to try that! Already played some BeatSaber. Excited to try BigScreen & Virtual Desktop! Also got Netflix, Hulu, etc. I don't like watching Netflix on my Oculus Go because it's a little too pixely for my eyeballs, so I'll see how this compares. I pretty much just use my Go for my VirZoom setup these days (they have an adapter that works on any stationary bike now).
At some point, I'd like to build a house - just a simple one-story design. I didn't want a basement before, because they always leak, but I found a good basement system (Quad-Lock ICF), so it would be pretty cool to put in an unfinished basement with multiple large rooms just for VR for multi-player. With some padded walls made of exercise mats, hahaha! My Link cable should show up in the next day or two, so I'll give it a go on the computer once it arrives.
I know it's a pricey toy at $500 a pop, but taking a step back from when I started this thread 4 years ago (!!!), I think it's absolutely incredible the quality & features you get with a Quest. If the Link cable works well, and if my extended usage goes well, I think the Quest will be my go-to VR recommendation for people...you don't need a gaming computer if you just want to use it stand-alone, but you can also access the full SteamVR library with. Very excited to try out multi-player games like QuiVR!
