- Today I decided to sit down and take the time to talk to you guys about what gave me any type of TH-cam clout in the first place, my Valve Index. I figure most of you guys found this channel because of this headset, and more than likely you've just been waiting for the next update about it to come out, so here it is. After a year of owning my headset, how does it hold up against the somewhat stale competition?

nope refuse to give fb money, they earn enough from selling my details from my fb profile, would much rather spend much more money to also have the peace of mind it's not going to turn into an expensive paper weight if fb deems you to have broken tos and ban your fb account
My mistake was getting a "Window Mixed Reality" headset... and then wanting to switch to linux.
Saving for an index now since it has Linux drivers, unlike WMR
@@UNSCPILOT lmao that is exactly my situation

Literally happened to me because I stopped using fb.
Very nice video, thank you for sharing your experience with it!
this man deserves way more subscribers, the information you give is very helpful and keeps you entertained, never stop making vids bro
he wont stop till he is too old or dead
When it comes to gaming the index and quest 2 are the best hands down. Quest with pc connection is king in therms of bang for your buck and index is the overall best. Because every other headset that has better specs has some sort of major flaw or is simply complicated to use in terms of games.
So id say the index is the way to go because its in that sweet spot where it delivers a high quality experience in every area.....there are better headsets out but they start at double the price and the experience certainly isnt twice as good and/or they are better than the index in one area but fall short in others.
And dont forget that you will most likely need a better pc to run something better than an index....mines worth 3,5k and if i want to get my moneys worth out of a high end headset id have to upgrade it to a 5k rig.
I’ve had my index since release now and it still works fantastically. I love it and will only trade it for an index 2 or a full-set by any company whenever that becomes reality. If I had to give it one major criticism, the cable is a massive issue especially in the quality of the material. The perfect Index 2 imo would be wireless, lighter, smaller, and higher resolution. But thats quite an idealistic wishlist ^^’
With how old the index actually is, I can see it becoming everything you want and more. I’m sure if they continued to work on the tech they probably already have something that fits your needs, they just haven’t hit a big enough upgrade point to justify selling a new model yet. Then again they could have completely ended work on the project and focused entirely on the deck, but I’m hopeful.
Why, after a year of good performance, do Valve Index Controllers stop working and "pulse" in Steam VR. Valve Index cannot answer this question.

I have a quest 2 and i am straight up done with it. Tracking issues + SUPER uncomfortable. I cant play more than 30mins-1 hour without pain. And I have the pro strap. Im hoping on getting an index and ditching my quest
idk why but the valve index durability is way better (I THINK) compared to quest 2 its just i wore a quest 2 once and it was uncomfortable af...So im saving up for valve index! I Hope i wont have to replace base stations or something the first week it arrives...that would suck'
I've been wanting to get myself a new vr set to upgrade from my Quest 1 and I've been considering an index since most of the people I hang out with in VRChat play on an index and they tell me nothing but good things. Unless the Pico Neo 4 is better and cheaper than an Index, I'll likely just stick with my plan of getting an Index within the next few months.
A buddy of mine recently bought one used for $500~ I think, but it hasn’t been delivered yet. Depending on how it turns out it might be becoming viable to purchase a used index soon.
I’ve owned a quest and a quest 2 and a vive pro and I can say so far my quest 2 I run it with full body and I use a vive pro deluxe audio strap with it using a 3d printed adapter and it’s very comfortable but I just ordered a index and just collecting information before it arrives thanks for the information 😂👍
the thing is, idk if it‘s worth it, if they would at least up the resolution and fix the godrays
I just went from my quest 2 to my index and I honestly prefer the index, I lose the screen door after 5 minutes playing a game, I just enjoy the experience
Is there a valve index 2 coming out? I just built a new PC and now want to get the valve index but was wondering if I should wait incase a new version comes out.
rumors i think, no concrete evidence though. i wouldnt count on it soon though because steam deck came out not to long ago
wouldn't count on a new valve index being released soon, I would think at least a year or two because of the steam deck launch and valve index still being the best all-rounder in the market
@@azure9554 most-rounder if anything, durability isn’t something it does
Only wireless for index. No 2nd real soon but pimax is making a dream headset if its coming out what was promised
@@azure9554 The only gripe I have against the index is its resolution.
Do you think I can run the Valve index well with an RX 570 8GB + 16RAM, I want to buy them but I don't know if that's a problem
It will work, but definitely not smoothly
Your cpu is important too. But with rx 580 you probably won't be having the best experience or high graphics.
There’s one bad thing about the valve index the bad thing is that you need a cable to connect to your PC but what if you don’t have a PC so I don’t know if you need a cable or not?
Not 100% sure what you're saying but Valve index isn't a standalone vr headset like both Quest 1/2 is. You need a PC for a valve index and a graphics card with a display port (similar to a hdmi) and make sure your pc is strong enough to handle vr also
you need a pc
fantastic job 👍
I ordered mine 2 days ago it says shipping soon so I’m super hyped
Excited for you man, hope it's everything you wanted!
@@Kylesstuff thx and now my index shipped its coming this Wednesday
@@DerekOnTopp Im thinking about upgrading from the Quest 2 to an Index, would you say its worth it?? I just built a pc too and it handles VR Super well
@@Driftszz hell yeah if it doesn’t make you go bankrupt it’s 100 percent worth it it’s hella clear so clear that before on my quest 2 things jumping at me didn’t scare me and on the index I’m jumping almost every time something jumps at me and the speakers are stupidly amazing
@@DerekOnTopp hey question, Im moving from quest 2 to the index how would you say the fov difference is?
I’ve heard issues about the glue around the lenses, and how it sometimes melts if you get into super intensive play sessions, have you had any issues with that?
I personally have never even heard of that issue happening or experienced it myself, so I’m hoping it’s a semi rare issue that’s probably covered by the warranty.
0:28 Uh, isn't that the Quest 2? More people use it for SteamVR than the Index itself if I recall correctly.
Yes, the quest 2 is still the most used VR headset on SteamVR. I said that the index was one of the most used VR headsets, not the most. I show the chart in the video as well, not sure if you can see the quest just above the index or not, though I’m also not sure how accurate those stats are today
If you have any problems with valve I recommend to search up fix’s and if that doesn’t fix it then just ask valve for a new one or any tips
Quest 2 is good but i do wish the field of view was better. That's okay I'm gonna buy a bad ass vr in the nest year or so when something good comes out.
"what was in that box? I'll show you." Bruh we can read.
tip:why your base station broke is because u were turning it on and off. if u know ur gonna play vr in a houe leave it on. an hour and 15 minutes? keep them off
after using a quest 2 for a year i'm getting mine in about 2 weeks
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it
Same here I’m ready to move on
Lemme know which one is better I'm not sure which one to get this one or the quest 2
@@Gunsmoke_956 you have a powerful pc and good money, go for the index, no pc and not a lot of money then quest 2
@@kake52 I have a MSI Katana GF76 with RTX 3050Ti I spent $1000+ on it, idk much about PC gaming as I just started last week but would you say that's good enough for the Index
Ive had the Index since its release, I upgraded to Varjo Aero a few weeks ago, GREAT UPGRADE!! :) Crystal clear!
we get it ur rich
long story short: take care of your things
yes
Cool controllers and speakers are swell, but the display redolution on the index is completely obsolete -- you shouldn't be using any headset that still has that annoying screen-door effect!
Wow yes very nice
Yes or no?
ordering mine tomorrow lol
Index to fragile for me I use quest 3 quest pro controllers and link cable
there still no pack like this. i mean, in 2019, you got a good headset for the time, best controllers around and lighthouse tracking for around 1000 bucks. now, 4 years later, theres nothing like this around. its eighter enthusiast level hardware, or standalone with inside out tracking. so theres no 2023 index 2 neighter from valve, nor any other company. the price never really dropped for the pack and the headsets resolution is subpar nowadays
You get subpar resolution in trade for best in class for literally everything else besides the lenses. Resolution isn’t everything.
@@Paiskii important to me is the visual Impression i get 3D alone doesnt carry everything for me.i have good Headphones i dont need Build in ones. Comfort is different for everyone and can bei fixed with Aftermarket parts. you cant fix resolution with aftermarket parts. mic might be good, but again i have a wireless modmic.
Don’t buy a quest 2. Don’t support a scummy company. I just ordered an index. Even if the thing has major issues, I’ll still support valve over Facebook.

If it is flashing red, the batteries are dead. Put them on the charger or double check your charger wattage. It needs to be a powerful charger in orfer to reliably charge the controllers.
400th like les go
VALVE WILL FAIL! NOBODY CAN FIX IT!! YOU LOSE!!!
Bro, calm down. Valve is not going to pull a Facebook. Please just sit back down and go back to scrolling through Facebook for endless hours and not caring about your privacy.
