The fact that the grossly outdated (spec wise) valve index is still $1k, 4 years after release, is fucking outrageous. That thing should be like at least half the price by now. Valve is out of their minds...

It's still one of the, if not the, best headsets available. PSVR 2 is the only headset I know of that is better in a lot of areas than the Index but the Index definitely still has the best controllers by far.

Huh? As much as i don't like standalone headsets, all of the current standalone headsets easily vastly outspec the index.....you should look at the specs....

I.e. index is missing:

oled screen
pancake lenses
eye tracking

Most of the newer headsets have this and are cheaper than the index..

              Inside-out tracking so you don't need expensive lighthouses
Wireless connection

Inside out tracking sucks and is the main reason I still use my index. While I see the advantages of wireless, personally find it much more important to not have to charge it.

Oh it works great for me. In fact a lot better than the Rift did with its dedicated trackers.

It's also handy to just pop it on and not have to set it up. I often bring it to the office and I've given a demo for friends, it's much harder with lighthouses.

And the cost of them is just insane. If they were 100 bucks for a couple it's fine.

I have FBT using an old phone connected as a camera and some cardboard with QR tags printed on them. Works damn near flawlessly vs the built-in inside-out-tracking on the Q3. Now if I can just get a small little pen camera inside the headset to use eye tracking software I'd be set... 😅
