    My account still isn’t migrated. Having sold my CV1 for an Index, and even having switched to Linux since, I don’t think I’ll bother.

    But man… Really, really good times were had on that headset, Echo VR, Robo Recall, From Other Suns…

      I’m still rocking the HTC Vive I bought after I found out Oculus had been bought out, but one of these days I’d like to upgrade. Vive still works pretty great though. How are you liking the Index?

        Heavy, the blacks aren’t black, the audio was twice better on the CV1, but the framerate and tracking quality is unbeatable. Resolution and FOV bump is nice, too.

        My hands are way too large for the Index Controllers, I desperately want something to replace them.

        I need to do this to reach the system button, and I can’t always just hold the controller further down due to how the strap works.

        Most of the time I hold it with just my fingers so my thumb actually lands where the buttons are, but it’s meant to be strapped to the palm of the hand. I’ve yet to figure out a way to hold them that makes the joystick comfortable to use, it’s too far to the side from where you’d want to put your thumb.

        Big huge bonus is that it works on Linux. I’m happy with the headset, oled would be nice, and audio was much better on the CV1. But it’s not bad.

        But I would kill for a lighthouse tracked version of the original oculus touch controllers.
