The Valve Index is Something Special

- The Valve Index is a very impressive VR Headset with a few problems that make it very hard to recommend to anyone getting into virtual reality; especially when things like the Quest 2 exist. But that doesn't mean it's not for anyone. Given the right person, the Index is everything a virtual reality enthusiast would need and more.

Probably my favorite vr moment of all time was when on pavlov, on Hageru, I was hiding inside a house with my group mates, sniping germans, physically wracking the bolt back, yelling at my teammates telling them where the enemies were, watching my comrades get slowly murdered all around me. There were tears, there were laughs, and there were dead headsets. And like you said, when I think about this, I dont think "I saw everyone around me die and then shot everyone" I think "I physically dodges bullets, hid behind bullets, made connections with people, and pulled back bolts."
My favorite moment was standing over a particularly obnoxious teammate and debating out loud the pros and cons of letting him get back up.

Man, this is high quality content. I love seeing new channels pop up that are as excited about VR as I am. And not only that, put a lot of work and love into said content. It's nice.
Literally summed up exactly what I was gonna say
No need to be rude

I love your point about how memories in VR feel like you’re actually there.
I think when you’re playing VR, obviously you’re always somewhat aware that you’re in VR. You can feel the headset on your head, your field of view is lower, you can feel controllers in your hands, etc. But when you revisit the memory, your mind kinda filters out the minute senses and focuses on the more straightforward things: sight and sound. So when you look back, it really just feels like you actually experienced it
I love VR. It’s just a beyond amazing experience and just feels more in depth than 2D can ever do. I really hope it takes off and we get more impressive games, like a survival game and a stealth game similar to splinter cell and metal gear solid. I’d kill for that man
The best part is the steamvr compatibility. The amount of wrestling you have to do with other headsets like the quest to work with steam vr is crazy. Also 100000 steam points
I honestly love video essays, even when it's about stuff I already know about. It was nice to see what kind of thought process and the little things I hadn't picked up on that someone else did. Thanks for making suck a wonderful video about vr (I don't own a headset but I will soon since I got a good setup now), and I hope everything goes well for you.
Vrchat is one of those games that i play in bursts, I simply dont have as much time as i used to for it. But man, social vr is really on a different level. I'm glad my index helped me meet lots of cool people and create good memories. But after years of vr, it really still leaves me longing for more.

@@myrukun What?
yes
@@myrukun yes indeed
I have an Index, I got it like week 2(?) of it on sale. I only recently have to replace one of the base stations which actually was really easy. Just contacted valve support and they did a free RMA for it even though i was out of warranty. Other than that it's been great to me
Just bought an index two weeks ago and I have absolutely loved using it.
Nice! My birthday is in 16 days and I hope that I'll get one, and I hope my experience is as good as yours is!
how long did it take to deliver i just ordered mine?
@@RR_jacobshave u gotten yours?
Not gonna lie, I saw a recommendation for this video and an blown away by the quality of your script, pacing, and editing... This feels like a big TH-cam channel vid
honestly I was kinda shocked seeing your sub count after finishing the video.... you deserve wayyyyy much more for that kind of content youre making
my favorite part of that new years in VRChat... was the servers crashing at exactly midnight, i was with a group of recently made friends, and we were all counting down, i was absolutely trashed drunk, and when i counted down to ONE, i closed my eyes and yelled HAPPY NEW YEAR... i opened my eyes... and got greeted to the steam VR VOID... i had never felt so alone... almost made my feel schizo
Damnnnnn, that's fucked
Love the video bri. I completely agree with every point you made especially with you remembering vr as you were there and not playing a game or how like vr now is very much the 360 late 2000s/early 2010s vibe. I love it and I don't think many people realize how emersive vr really is. I'm glad I caught this vibe while it's Still in its early stages
Amazing video. Well-edited. Beautiful voice. Easy to follow. You deserve 100k subs. Please make more like these.
God you need more subs this channel is CRITICALLY underrated
Dayum. Top quality video. Good luck on your YT journey!
This is great! Just subscribed.
i just found this vid and its amazing! i really look forward to any more uploads in the future!
loved the vid
Quality content right here, keep it up! We need more vr content. More vr content creates the means for a more expansive and hopefully increasingly great vr community
bro from such a small channel i was supprised from the super high quality content. your editing is top notch and feels like something from 10mil + channels. you really deserve more subs for content this good. Should be proud of your content, its amazing.
Awesome video! I love the humour and you mention solid points, keep going man!
You deserve so much more subscribers this video was sooo good
I was watching this video, and went to sub, thinking you already had like 20k, and saw 277, and I was blown away by the quality of the video!
You got a subscriber. You got great content and it should be illegal for you to have this low amount of subscribers. Top notch. Humor and fun.
Keep on making content this is really good
sudden high quality vr related small youtuber jumpscare. subscribing instantly
Great video, was watching it then couldn't believe it wasn't over 10k views yet, keep up the quality content man.
awesome video bud. Really good music choices btw
Underrated video, you deserve much more recognition for a content like this
Very good informative video I think you've pushed me over the edge to get one
subbed, really a great video with plenty of information for people that are looking to get into vr but also people that just got it, imo
This was super helpful, thank you. I got a valve after having the quest 2 for some time and was wondering if I made the right decision. I feel much better after watching this! Thanks!
incredible video! thanks for sharing
great comparison and very entertaining too 👍
Your fake falling asleep made me laugh and I kept watching till the end 😂
Just got an index as my first VR. Got it used for $400 for full kit so it was a steal, I think. Having a lot of fun with it.
Yeah that's a steal and a half. Happy VRing man
my index is coming in the mail rn so thanks for making this so i can obsess over it and hype myself up while i wait 🙏🙏🙏🙏
ghod daym this man be producing some QUALITY CONTENT. Keep up the great work!
You earned a sub today brother. I ordered my kit last weekend after giving up a kidney! In actuality, I have a quest pro.. But, I want to properly experience full body without a bunch of issues. So, the index was a full send for me. Keep up the good work!
Switching from a reverb g2 to index now, I realize that everyone has such a different experience that some people hate a headset and some people love the headset. I’m always nervous picking up a new piece of technology especially seeing all the complaints around the index, but this has been my dream since getting the original reverb g1 in 2018, I’m ready to see what the best of VR has to offer
Update? Did it meet your expectations?
Dude, what a great video. Informative, nicely edited, funny bits thrown in.
And you were absolutely right about BoneWork and Alyx, every video talks about them, so nice skip.
Keep making vids!
thanks for the recommendation on that headset, I was looking for something like that also amazing video.
Well done video. I enjoyed :)
First video i saw, and.. im in love.
The Quality, jokes, comedic timing, the flow of the script is all so good, that I would expected you to have like 500k subscribers at least.
I subscribed, kissed that bell good night, and im here to stay. Keep the good stuff coming, I will be watching all of it.
My god. Kiss his ass enough in this comment or what? I always wonder what kind of personality is behind comments like this? You're an extreme extrovert right? Thats why all the gushing?
@@c.h.7580 I'm actually an introvert. And I don't know why you are so aggressiv and negativ... I like the video, think its a hidden gem and put my excitement and happiness into a comment, so the creator can see that and maybe be happy because of it.
If you are angry at something, please solve the issue instead of letting your anger out on some positiv comment that doesn't hurt anyone.
Great video, I am excited to get started with VR. My quest 2 arrives this week and I think I made the right choice at-least for value for money. But now I think I will watch the valve index for sales in the future when it comes time to upgrade.
I have a quest and man the update glitches are so annoying , I haven't played vrchat for a week no , ever since I updated it , I didn't even wanna update , so I would ignore it, until quest forced me to update , and that's when I got the wifi glitch error , and it won't let me connect to the wifi, I'm updating to htc , total waste of money , due to all the glitches
okay. HOW TF DO YOU ONLY HAVE 72 SUBS? make it 73
I bought an exhaust fan for my Valve Index and it’s literally a game-changer! My initial thought was that it would be a cheap and low-quality product made by companies that wanted to make a quick buck. However, the huge amount of heat it actually manages to deflect is amazing. I can play high-intensity games like Lightsaber, Ragnarock, and Pavlov for so much longer without having to take a break and ruin the immersion because of sweating.
Also my joystick got worn out and started drifting on my left controller after 15 months..I contacted support and they sent me a new one even though the insurance was no longer valid! . I love their customer support!
Really High tier content my man! you deserve more subscribers!
Subscribed :)
Pretty uh cool video, excited to see more videos.
Some great intro music. That's all I got for talking about the video. Uh thanks for giving me excitement to own one of these. In 2 years or something like that.
Looking at getting an Index used, this convinced me, thanks!
I was recently just thinking about upgrading from a Rift S. I had no idea that the index had quality issues that you mentioned. Definitely something to take into consideration. I also didn't know about the HP Reverb G2. That looks pretty solid.
Yeah the Index can definitely be a bit of a pain, but when it does work it's a great all around package. If you can spare the cash and don't mind things occasionally being janky, Index. Otherwise, Quest 2 or Reverb G2 are the way to go
@@MacrolithI just got the reverb 2 for 300$ I hope it’s great tbh
@@B3VR I got one, best display for the price. 4k babbbyyyy!!!!!!
@@Speedbolt74 hell yeah
@@B3VR Hope you love it!
I can't overlook Fresnel lenses or low native resolution 4 years in. It WAS a good headset. It WAS worth $1000 when it launched.
Emphasis on WAS.
Valve needs to get their asses off their laurels.
And hell, in my 30s, and the whine those base stations makes permeates EVERY FECKING ROOM it's so annoying.
I wouldn't touch the index in 2022-23 for more than $500.
Great video, helped me feel more confident in my purchase
Had index since summer of 2020. Never had any issues that people talk about and only 2 weeks ago I got one of my controller to rarely give me "thumbstick drift". Absolute blast of a headset and always gets the job done to immerse me into any game
Really great video sir! Keep it up. Im a vr user almost everyday - games and mainly art but, I always wanted Index (Im quest 2 owner) bcs of the budget I couldnt afford it. So anyone who really wants to get some vr Oculus is so far after a year a great choice but index superior mainly in that audio quality and finger tracking as u said. Also I tried Index so I'm not just blindly typing this.
Thanks for this video mate
Nice video!
I'm personally doing wireless PCVR over airlink with the refurbished Quest 2 I bought before they bumped up the price, alongside third party add-ons and stuff to use with it. I likely won't get an Index (despite some of the really nice features), but eventually I hope to somehow acquire a Deckard (you know, whenever that may possibly come out). Plz gimmie that valve-made wireless PCVR Index successor, Valve!
Excellent video. My brother got us a quest 2 recently and I'm gonna take it slow for my next step in VR and thats with the vive cosmos elite kit then get the index controllers as a test to make sure for when I eventually get the index that it arrives etc. :)
The index was a great headset at release. But now it is over 3 years old and pretty outdated. Now It's just the kind of "If you find it at a good price second hand then sure" type of headset.
The Index is still king despite its advanced age. That says a lot more about stagnation of the VR industry than anything else. Several VR headsets have released since the Index, but most of them aren't even intended to be in its class. They're cheaper, more accessible, mobile, whatever. But there's been very little focus on making VR headsets which actually provide a better VR experience.
The advantages of the Index become even more substantial if you're big into VRChat where you can get into full body tracking.
@@SargonDragon Pimax?
@@SargonDragon Pimax?
@@beanieteamie7435 pimax has a lot of issues and compromises, at least on all of their headsets that you can buy right now.
They overpromise and underdeliver.
@@weepgamer I know lmao, I own one and my friend owns 3.
The thing is, if you just disregard all their marketing bs and buy the hmd based on what it actually is or isn't, then the whole "overpromis underdeliver" thing is irrelevant.
Do your research before buying stuff.
As for all of the issues? The constant issues? I have them :)
But despite that, I literally can't bring myself to use any other VR headset.
If someone else made headsets with similar specs with better customer support, better quality control, better software etc. I would buy that instead in a heartbeat :)
But no one is.
How do you only have 470 subscribers?? This channel is amazing!
this came up on my youtube home page... i love it.
Holy crap. Your the first person I can relate to that 2021 new years was the best one. I didn't spend it in vr, but I was just at my pc.
I was hyped about vr since 2017. Vids like this one always make me both excited and extremely sad. Good content 👍
The battle block theatre music gives me alot of nostalgia.
Good content! Keep it up :)
Great review. love my Index, I’ve had it 3 years now, and use it regularly. Still not convinced anything objectively better has come along.
Also..I actually had to check if my base stations were on for that moment of this video…
Oh, and I have a quest 2, that sits on the shelf until I’m traveling somewhere I want to introduce VR.
It's epic that the index is still up there with the best headset even though it's 3 years old.
I love this video, and the channel. WHEN YOU'RE FAMOUS I GET TO SAY I WAS THE 670TH SUBSCRIBER!!!
Just got an index at a crazy steal 2 weeks ago without knowing anything since the vive 1.0, this video was amazing to watch. Super high quality
And a destiny player?? Earned a sub bro 👊
Great video my friend!
This was a very well made video
I think I have one of those preorder index headsets. had to rma right controller when it started to drift. good service. After 3 years daily usage it start to show wearing. I hope Valve will come new headset pretty soon because I want to reason for upgrade.
Hit few time so hard that my hand didn't work but controller was fine. Only time it needed little superglue was when I dropped it to floor with nice angle and trigger broke it's clips.
This channel deserves
Subscribed!
Great essay! Subbed for more :>
I love Valve's products, can't wait for their next leaked/rumored Valve Deckard VR headset.
I upgraded from spending 1000 hours in a quest 2, to having an index, four base stations, and full body tracking. I love this headset. It may not be a Paimax 4k, but its easily the best investment ive made in terms of enjoying VR a whole lot more. This headset is going to be main way I experience VR for the coming years and I don't see that changing any time soon.
Great video. I'm glad TH-cam finally recommended me something I was actually interested in watching.
so more base stations actually does something?
Being a heavy VR user with a valve index with 2000 hours in steam VR and 1600+ in VRchat, I have gone through 4 controllers, a base station, and one headset cable. Would I trade my Index for anything else? Not a chance in hell.
That high pitch whine around 0:50 though… as it slowly ramped up I initially thought it was my ear (happens sometimes for a few sec) until it became so loud it was obviously external of nature.
Great video
Bruh I thought you would have had 1000’s of subscribers before looked for more videos. I guess just good quality.
Amazing content.
Oooo small channel yay
4:14 Hey the steam controller was cool. Steam machines on the other hand...
0:40 That post-explosion tinnitus sound effect to simulate getting bored/falling asleep was pretty damned unique. Not seen that before in a YT video.
yo nice video!
YESSIR NEW MACROLITH UPLOAD
The ability to switch refreshrate, in combination with SteamVR's framerate limiter is such a useful feature to hit stable framerates for all kinds of scenarios.
Its the only headset that can be locked to 30 40 45 48 60 72 80 90 120 144 framerates!
Well put and enjoyed it too.
this video is something special
I've got my first VR headset (the original Vive) in 2018 and since then I've always wanted to upgrade to the Index, but now I'm on a fence if I should wait for the next Valve headset that might or might not be coming this year. I'll probably just buy the Index headset alone as I already have the Vive tracking stations and the Index controllers.
Love the BattleBlock Theater music
Very nice
Index is still my main headset to this day. Got it a few months before this video released and I haven't used anything else since. Yeah these new headsets like the Q3 are apparently better, but I don't want to buy from Meta anymore. They are a bad corporation that couldn't care less about innovation if it doesn't make them the money. The thing I LOVE about the index is it's modability. This is THE developer's HMD with it's seamless support for Full Body Tracking, Open Source Tools, etc. With all the Meta shilling on yt nowadays you've earned a like and a sub. Amazing video that still holds up.
I loved this! Great Job! Subbed. Do more of these please :3 oh and how about making a group for subscribers on vrchat ;)

yo man just found your channel and already love it. to the joe biden oracle method in D2 to the beat saber something is special, you got some good editing and video ideas dude so please keep it up and I cant wait for another something is special ep! :D
That Pavz story reminded me of when I was playing on Blood gulch and I was sneaking to red base through the caves on the side when I ran into an enemy who shot at me with his shotgun... and then realized that gun doesn't really work. I just stopped and talked about "yeah that gun is kinda glitchy right now, you have to basically break your arm to pump it." And a couple more guys from each of out teams just kinda wandered in and just joined the conversation. Then we eventually decided to take the party to the rest of the lobby. One of them started playing music through OVRtoolkit or something and we just ran into the middle of the map and started dancing and shooting into the air to the rhythm untill everyone joined in. We eventually had a mongoose race around the map which I barely won and as a prize got a free cap of the enemy flag. Still have a couple clips from that experience saved. Good times.
