me reading the comments of people arguing if a pro is better than a quest 3 or if index is better than both of them, while im chilling watching this video on a quest 2 lmao
Be careful not to sweat in your Quest Pro. Just a small bit of moisture can destroy the circuitry that powers the IR LEDs for the face tracking, causing them to go dim or out completely. This will brick the face tracking which also takes out the eye tracking too even if the eye tracking LEDs are working fine.
I have watched a lot of your videos on VR, you are becoming my favorite VR content creator 😭😭😭 Content is so good and underrated!!!! btw I'm still using the original Oculus Quest from 2019. Would be nice to see what the best upgrade path for it would be.
@@hiddeneye9723 I've been using it for a month now. I try to switch back to my index. and it's completely different. I love my quest pro way more Only thing I like about the index is the. hand tracking. Other than that it's pretty great
Index is inferior to the Quest 3 as well, and that’s way cheaper than the pro. Any headset with fresnel lenses is going to be inferior to a headset with pancake lenses. The lenses mark a new generation of VR devices.
While I will still be in favor of a tethered headset for a lot of reasons the Quest Pro does have a lot of things going for it. Even if I don't use my Pro too much, I will still cherish it for many of its benefits that I will be glad to use whenever I want to use it
I'd still prefer a tethered headset, I just wish there were more options. The Bigscreen Beyond looks cool, but it makes a lot of compromises to be as small as it is. The other main option is to gamble with a Pimax headset and pray they eventually work out all the kinks lol. Maybe the Somnium VR1 will end up being decent, but I haven't got my hopes up for that one.
@@Jacobfov I can agree with that, I wish we had more options or at least have another simple native Steam VR headset like the OG Vive and the Vive Pro again. It’s very hard to replicate what the Index is superior at without having to go though a lot of hoops like consoles and streaming software. The Pimax while delivering what it wants to do is not worth the hassles and processes that eventually some people are gonna have to deal with. The two closest headsets that can be a viable option to switch/upgrade is the Vive Pro 2, the DPVR E4, and of course Bigscreen. I believe that Valve can make a better headset in todays world and since they operate on Valve time I’m more then happy to be hopeful
I use a headband and a durag when using my quest pro. No sweat issues there. EDIT: on the note of Quest pro controller tracking. I just cover up the cameras, and then uncover them and they snap back to where they should be.
Either way u spend way too much money on a device that does half the things u want... I still use my Rift CV1 and i'm really looking forward to upgrading it, but every option out there has a some terrible downsides to me... Every year i keep waiting for a new headset thinking "they're gonna get it right the next time". Well i'm still waiting for THE device...
Yes so the virtual desktop on quest pro doesn't work it's cause there is an antenna issue with the encoding that it's different but better but it's a known bug with the quest pro
@dustercrew well yeah, the bigscreen beyond doesn't come with controllers, but it does work with the Valve Index's controllers; which are the Valve Knuckles; and since Jacob here already has a Valve Index, and hence the Valve knuckles, controllers aren't an issue. taking to account their opinions on why only recently they starteh using the Quest Pro, the Quest 3 is still inferior to the Index.
@@dustercrew Eye tracking can help mitigate some of the issues with compression via foveated encoding. It can also be used to increase performance in games with dynamic foveated rendering. Games like Pavlov and DCS have used Quad-View foveated rendering to see massive performance gains, and this feature was just added to OpenXR1.1 meaning it will soon be useable in more games. Also, a PCVR headset being sold without controllers is normal. It just doesn't make sense for a company like Bigscreen to put R&D money into controllers and drive up the cost of their headset when there are plenty of options already.
@@Jacobfovimagine spending twice the price just for eye tracking lol It’s a good feature to have, but hardly a must have requirement. Literally the only people that would pay that premium for it are the terminally online VRchatters, regardless of the performance benefits it could provide.
What do you need to make the quest pro work with index controllers and vive trackers 3 for the body one for the headset? Do you need anything more than those?
The Meta Quest Pro uses its integrated cameras to locate itself in space. This principle is called 'inside-out tracking'. The Valve Index controllers and the HTC Vive trackers rely on external base stations. This method is called 'outside-in tracking'. You will need at least one Valve or HTC Base Station and USB-dongles for the controllers (the trackers have them included). Additionally, a play-space combiner software is required to allign the positions between the headset and other devices. There are video guides available on youtube.
i swear it’s some sort of lottery for which streaming software works good 😭😭😭 my quest 2 works fine with airlink but my quest pro only works well with VD (even at the exact same streaming resolution), and steam link is unusable on both even with hours of setup and testing.
Why would I get something that doesn't meet my standards of what I want in a headset? If I wanted something without eye tracking I would have just gone with a bigscreen beyond.
Hi does your quest pro have any micro stutter in games or bad stutter in Home Screen like this th-cam.com/video/r5JLFgEga9o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u6R1W9guEwvhE6FR
I think it's really funny when people try to be transphobic towards me when I'm not trans. Like you dumbasses can't even come up with good enough insults that I could make a TikTok about to farm money. Thanks for the free engagement I guess bbg 😘😘😘💋💋💋
valve index sucks and definitely dont replace it with a quest pro the quest 3 craps on the quest pro also unless the only thing you priorities is face tracking other then that everything is better on quest 3 at a cheaper price
@@savedbybravado4382 yeah duno why I have it on my pimax crystal but never really use it. maybe it's so people in vrchat can see what he's staring and with those creepy eyes 😜

I have a quest pro with a tundra tracker on the front and a Bobo vr battery on the back. I also use index controllers which is a big game changer
how hard was it to connect your controllers to the pro? would i need a separate dongle to connect?
@@arabella3870 i use my old vive pro as a set of dongles, its not hard but if u use a old headset u gotta unplug the display cable
@@arabella3870 and yes you gotta use dongles

wait untill he finds out about the quest 3 lol
Yeah what about it? If I thought a headset without eye tracking was worth my time I would have bought a bigscreen beyond
@@Jacobfov so a headset without controllers. Big indeed. If eyetracking is a must feature for you you ONLY play vr chat indeed.

i am selling that hot garbage cause it is such a stress to set up and get going every time were as the index is turn on steam vr and your in.
should have just gotten a quest 3

@@Jacobfov idk what jarhead was talkin bout but i think its funny that a dragon taught me vr stuff :)
So basically Index is still #1, got it.
Not at all, the only edge it has over other headsets is the best on-board audio.
2nd most popular headset on steamvr means its good?? shoot i guess 1060s are great cards still by that logic. jk jk ill shut up and continue watching
valve index sucks and definitely dont replace it with a quest pro the quest 3 craps on the quest pro also unless the only thing you priorities is face tracking other then that everything is better on quest 3 at a cheaper price
Loud incorrect buzz noise
it's known the q3 is better then pro in like every way unless you want face tracking other then that no point
