Just ordered myself an index 🎊🎉🎊 I've been using a Quest 2 with some 2.0 Vive trackers for a while and thought "why not get the index? I already have the base stations." I think I've made the right decision.

@@ohkoldexx2120 It feels like going from a toy to a truly enterprise experience. I can't truly express how much of an upgrade it is, but the display (though a lower resolution) is so much clearer and feels completely worth it to actually put on play vr over something like the quest 2. If you have the money, definitely go for the index.

Hi Am wondering as I already have an og htc vive but wanted to upgrade to an index due to the increased headset comfort , better resolution and screen door and mainly though due to the increase field of view. Apparently is it’s supposed to be 130 degrees vs the 110 compared to the vive, However I have modded my vive so I don’t have a front face pad and I put my eyes very close to the lenses and wow the fov is better like by 10-20 degrees - it’s basically a full fov vertically and horizontally is good compared to any other headset I’ve tried but I haven’t tried the index yet but am wondering have you ever tried the original vive without or with a reduced face pad and how do you compare it to the index’s fov ? A few people have mentioned the fov with the modded vive is almost the same as the index with the facepad on but am wondering if you by any chance have tried removing the facepad and looking through the lenses of the index to increase the fov and is it quite a lot bigger ? Would really appreciate your reply . Cheers

@@greaterthanpie okay thanks for your reply and I’ll definitely look into that . In the meantime have you ever tried removing the face cover of the index and puting your eyes very close to the lenses and how did you find the horizontal fov ? I want to upgrade from a vive to a higher fov headset but the pimax headsets are too troublesome and require powerful pc to run so thinking the index but not sure if the increase in fov will be enough ?

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The following is a copy pasta of some tips for general VR and some specific for the Index , I've copied from someone (I forgot their username) on Reddit: **Longevity and Damage Prevention:** There's a little cable clip above the left ear. Dislodge this clip by lifting it upwards so it can move freely. The problem with this clip is that it creates a pinch point on the cable when you tilt the visor up and down. Next, consider securing the cable to the back of your headset, you can use the velcro straps that come with the cable as a free temporary solution. If you're prone to getting turned around in VR. Just remember to peek under your nose and reset your rotation regularly until you get used to it. I've seen some really painful pictures of users who twist their cables beyond repair. There are many free tools such as Turn Signal and FPSVR which can place cable twist indicators on the floor to remind you to reset. This might sound obvious, but make sure you cannot hit or smack your controllers on anything around you. When you start a VR session, stand in the center of your play space and stretch out your arms in every direction, lean if you must. THIS INCLUDES POCKETS ON YOUR PANTS. Over zealous Beatsaber players have lost many joysticks this way. Don't let it be you. If you have a smaller rectangular play space, lock your feet in a forward facing direction and give your arms as much space to work with. Just get used to not turning around (use snap turning which most games have these days) There's a lot of debate on whether or not you should keep your base stations powered on all the time. Some users complain of a high pitch whine the base stations produce and want to turn it off. Others are concerned about wear and tear with repeated power cycles. There's no right answer. I personally manually turn them off when not in use, and it's been fine. As for methods, some like to use the POWER MANAGEMENT setting within SteamVR to automatically turn them on and off i when you power on SteamVR. However, I and many others have experienced problems where the software fails to wake up or shut down the base stations remotely. Others have provided mobile phone app solutions to toggle the base stations via Bluetooth Alternatively, a quick and simple solution would be to connect the base station power bricks to a power strip with an included power switch on it. Simply flip the power on and off as needed. The Index is intended to remain connected at all times just like a monitor. If for some reason you want to regularly disconnect your Index, do so AT THE BACK OF YOUR COMPUTER (USBC, POWER, DP) NOT THE BREAKAWAY CABLE. Remember to store your index in a place that sunlight cannot reach. Sunlight that hit the lenses can damage the screens. Either remember to cover the lenses when not in use or store them in a box, like the one the Index comes in! Ideally, make sure your playspace has no sunlight and you'll be fine. The index controllers use USBC to charge them. You can use a typical phone charger for this and for quick charging. I recommend you get some nice magnetic USBC charging cables so you can easily charge between sessions without wearing out the USBC socket. They're cheap, convenient and can be found on Amazon. Your playspace must NOT contain any reflective surfaces, as they can confuse the base stations tracking. There is a FOV knob on the front right of the index. This knob is intended to be PUSHED INWARDS THEN TWIST not just twist as there are snapping points for adjustment. If you have poor eyesight, DO NOT WEAR GLASSES INSIDE THE HEADSET as it risks scratching up both the index and glasses lenses during play. Instead, consider getting prescription lenses from vendors like VROPTICIAN or Widmovr. These are but a 10th the cost of the index and are highly recommend. The face gasket can get a bit gross over time especially if you sweat a lot. Consider getting a VR cover to layer over the cushion, make a cover yourself or buy a spare gasket to quick swap out. Surface wash them with warm water and a damp cloth, but don't soak them or use soap, as it is said that may dissolve the adhesive. The cushion is said to be made with antimicrobial threads to keep them hygienic. **Comfort and convenience:** If you're prone to sweating, take frequent breaks and dry yourself off, and use adequate ventilation because sweat can damage the lenses. Consider getting a nice pad to stand on in the center of your play space like an anti fatigue mat, small blanket, rug or a yoga mat. Standing for hours can really kill the feet. This has the added benefit of giving you a way to know if you've stepped too far from the center of your play space. The Index headset is a bit front heavy. You can reduce the pressure on your cheeks if you get a counter weight strapped to the back of the index. You can either buy one online or if you prefer a cheaper DIY approach, get about 200 grams of coins or weights, throw them into a cloth sack, and affix it to the back handles of the index. This can also double as a way to secure the cable to the back. Please note that you will likely experience VR sickness if you're new to VR. Don't be alarmed as it will take time to overcome VR sickness. But there are a few things you can do immediately to help ease into it. Externally, First make sure you take plenty of breaks and DO NOT PUSH THROUGH THE SICKNESS, doing so will just take longer to recover and make you regret getting into VR. Second, have good ventilation in your room and a cool fan blowing at your face and play area, this provides you with some spatial orientation and sweat reduction. Third, be sure to have a refreshing drink nearby. Cold water is great, but if you can drink something with ginger in it, like a cold Ginger Ale Soda or Hot Ginger Tea, the active ingredient is known to help with motion sickness. I wouldn't recommend taking motion sickness medicine as this discomfort is purely psychological and besides, having a reliance on drugs isn't cost effective. As for In-game, first insure your not getting too many dropped frames or dropped tracking as that can cause disorientation. There's a free handy tool called "fpsvr" on steam to monitor performance. Second, check your IPD (Inner Pupil Distance). It can be adjusted with the small knob located below the visor. Set it until comfortable. Start, out with games that are stationary (room scale) and don't require joystick turning, simply turning your head to navigate will be good. Then for games that have locomotion, start with teleportation or comfort modes (also known as vingette mode), and optionally use snap turning. Now you can work your way up to smooth locomotion and optionally smooth turning. Hold off from vehicles or flight simulators as you'll need strong VR legs.

The Pico looks cool. I was looking for a PC VR headset tough and wile the Pico has some features that would work well. The index has a refresh rate of 144 hz, controllers with finger tracking and native steam VR support. I still might take a look at a Pico 4 but I do not consider them the same. Something like the Vive Pro 2 might be an upgrade though.

@@greaterthanpie We might just have different applications. I would really love the full-body in social games, but can't see holding 144hz in a hi-fi PC game. I'm mostly in flight sims and mil sims, so being able to read instruments by turning my eyeball instead of my head, or register an object's orientation 2 miles away are critical. After Rift-S, Reverb G2 was a leap for distance detail, and PICO is a leap for *usable* FOV in the price range, having ditched Fresnel lenses. If you live near CT I'll let you try mine.

There is no best headset...quest pro isn't the best . The problem with headsets are each and everyone has good points and bad points . Quest pro has great lenses, great controllers but battery life is not great , resolution is not great , fov not great, comfort is subjective, productivity apparently isn't that great. Valve index has good fov, 144hz , extremely comfortable, great audio, controllers are are ok , lots of wires so not good, lenses are outdated, resolution is too low, suffers from glare. I could go on about the other headsets but I'm sure you get the drift of where I'm going.
