IR lamp is a must have especially if you game in a dark room. I purchased mine on Amazon for 15 bucks and no more tracking issue. On GT7 for reasons unknown the head unit would loose tracking due to poor lighting (even when proper lighting) and in the middle of a race it’s a bit of a downer. So IR lamp is def a VR thing
A storage case is great to keep dust away if you don't use the VR2 everyday. If you have large hand, some version of silicon pads setup that attach to the controller gives you a better grip and easier access to R/L 1&2. Lens dust cover makes your need to clean the lens a lot less.
It's funny how you're the only reviewer that found and mentioned the psvr specific replay mode...so thank you for that, makes watching them entertaining again
I'd add water or something to keep you hydrated. It gets hot inside the headset, if you're sweating and continuing to play through it and not having something to drink nearby then you'll start to feel sick. I recommend pausing the game every once in a while and having something to drink.
My wife picked me up a PSVR2 for my birthday. Absolutely love it, GT7 is absolutely amazing, and I’m looking forward to getting stuck into Resident Evil 8
I agree 1m %. I’ve been using my PSVR 2 since launch and it’s an amazing experience, my original PSVR I still use for rush of blood, but most likely when switchback VR drops next month ? I’d probably be on it full time. I can’t wait to see what other AAA/1st party titles might pop up on this gem sony have created
I legit bought a fan today from a local store today and it a necessity when it comes to playing vr, not only do I sweat alot but it also has helped with motion sickness
@@boitmecklyn4995 I use a Stanley blower fan cause I don't do anything with a mic and it has plenty of power and breeze to let me know which way I'm facing and keeps me cool for longer sessions
The last tip he gave is a huge part of it. PSVR2 was my first ever experience with VR and I didn’t know that the image quality was going to be a little less sharp in general. I thought something was wrong with my headset. Once I had a better understanding of how VR works, I had a much better experience. Also good tip about the fan.
For those with nausea. It will go away. I suffered for only 1 day then followed some online tips and by day 2 was no longer a problem. I also recommend calibrating the eyes before you play. My unit was tilted and I didn't realize it until after calibration.
Also, I just ordered a DD+, Mclaren wheel, F1 wheel, 320mm round BMW wheel,, Sim dashboard bracket, Clubsport V3 pedal upgrade kit, and a new. I have been in constant email contact with Fanatec and they have been responding almost within hours to each question. At least for new customers, their problems might be coming to a close
The fan thing is true. Because of my space and before psvr2 a month back j was racing with quest link and the fan was so close to me and i realised I did not felt motion sickness in acc. I thought how could it be be but your video proved the point
Wow, did not know psvr2 doesn't have a volume control button. I adjust my volume on the fly all the time and to me that's just a basic function on any device these days. Don't get me wrong, the psvr2 looks fantastic and I'll be using my own headphones when mine arrives so yes, it's a moot point for me personally but that's still a poor design choice. That has to have been a conscious decision because there's no way a company like sony just forgot about it. I feel audio is overlooked in vr a lot by many headset developers when to me it's just as important as the display and haptics for immersion. Took me a couple years before I finally settled on earphones I was truly happy with for the quest 2, which has pretty subpar built in audio. Personally I use Soundcore P10 earbuds for my quest2 which I'll be testing them with my psvr2 when it arrives. I can certainly recommend them for quest 2 as it stands. They are little in-ear buds though as per my preference but for full over-ear headphones, I hear steel series have a newer model of the headphones shown in this video that are meant to be better than the official ones for psvr2 so if anyone's interested they are worth looking into! Side note - a fan is a great idea, as mentioned in the video it does help with motion sickness if anyone is struggling getting used to vr. In addition, I always have my fan to my left and a small matt I stand on. This helps me know where I am in my playspace and becomes second nature eventually. If I feel my matt under my feet and the breeze on the left I know I'm in the center facing forward without having to check.
1:30 That must be a you problem, I may clean my lenses once a week. But I do have a silicone cover that goes over the lenses when im not using it. There's also a very nice stand on Amazon that I already own. The link wont stay but its called a HAPAW PS VR2 Sense Controller Charging Station, Playstation VR2 Headset Headphones Holder. Its a stand that has two cooling fans,2 magnetic pieces for charging both the PS5 and PSVR2 controllers as well as a stand to hold the PSVR2 headset. Its a all in one base station that charges everything for around $49.99. Best accessory I have bought for the PS5. PSVR2 Silicon Lens covers. That way your not cleaning the lenses everyday and only once a week. Unless you have a sweating problem. Then thats just a personal issue. Mine never get dirty or foggy. Amazon $8.99 I got the Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel for my PSVR2. I disagree about the headphones. The ones that come with the PSVR2 work great. Better than a lot of $200+ headphones.
Really appreciate your videos, you have a great way of engaging your audience... Was thinking about sending my PSVR2 back due to motion sickness. Will buy that fan and man up again.
If you keep having a break when you get motion sickness then jump back in once it's gone and keep doing it,you will end up getting used to VR and the motion sickness will go. I used to get motion sickness loads when I first got PSVR1 but now I can play for hours on PSVR2. Just keep at it and your brain will get used to it. 👍
Highly recommend a thin skull cap/helmet liner everytime helps with head itching from my hair and keeps it from getting in my eyes or on forehead. And sweat as well.
Definitely agree with the microfiber cloths. It's not even about dust or whatever. The screens sit so close to your face, your eyelashes will brush them, smearing whatever oils or sweat that may be coating them all over the screens. Clean the screens, clean your face, get the settings right, since you'll probably nudge the IPM dial while putting it on, and you should be good to go.
I've bought the following from Logitech G: 1) Pro Racing Wheel - $1000 2) Pro Racing Pedals - $350 3) Logitech G Racing Adapter - $40 4) Playseat Trophy Sim Racing Seat - $600 Received the Wheel already, but now waiting for rest before I give Gran Turismo 7 a try on the PSVR2.
@@Kireth Seems I don't need the Logitech G Racing Adapter which cost $40 unless I want to additionally buy and use the Driving Force Shifter for G923, G29 or G920 wheel & pedals (supposedly the adapter makes shifter compatible with the Pro Racing Wheel / Pedals I got). The rest are hooked up and in active use. Very happy with it.
hi i like your videos especially the one where you kinda called out all these reviewers who were not telling the truth about the 4k crystal clear visuals, as i purchased psvr2 after watching these types of reviews and when i first tried my headset i was totally disappointed and somewhat angry !! however after watching your videos on how to set it up etc and accepting that you arnt goin to be seeing clear 4k visuals ive now got the headset and the visuals to a point where im going to stick with this and not return it to the store ive used it about 8 to 10 times now playing about 1.5 hrs each time no motion sickness and i now seem to be getting much better visuals than i did when i first used it !! so i would say to anyone who has just purchased one and like myself are disappointed make sure you take your time to set up clean lenses each time before use and after getting use to placing it correctley on your head remember the strap at the back has to sit literally at the bottom of your skull and you will see far better visuals hope this helps anyone who is having trouble ??
Hey kireth. I just got one today I’m about to load up gt7 in an hour or so on my next level sim with my t300rs & load cell pedals. And it will be the first time on gt7 since being semi blind. This will be funny lol
I'd recommend a square rug or a yoga mat type thing so you can feel the boundary with your feet. Many times while playing RE Village I ended up face the back wall or walking into a table. This is game is better standing up too because dual wielding a revolver and shotgun is a blast.
Great vid as usual. I definitely recommend some kind of lense cleaner.. I got a box of 250 disposable lense wipes for like $10.. I basically end up smudging up the lenses every time I play because I inevitably touch some part of my face to the lenses while putting the vr on, taking it off, trying to dial it in..
Thing I struggle with in GT7 is having very little idea when my ABS is working overtime, because the front wheels are locking/"under-rotating." Thinking of, for example, the 3 big stops from 180+mph on the Mulsanne Straight... In a real car, would know from the vibration, tyre chirping and G-Forces; in bumper-cam view, would know from the height of the red, braking trace. In PSVR2, not a scooby!
@aaronf4201 I do have the CSL Elite hub and Playstation wheel with the Fanatec pedals ..im not understanding how to get the pedals to work with the wheel ? I plug in from the wheel where its supposed to be on the CSl Elite hub, no response in the pedals not sure what's going on to get this to work ?
You should provide an affiliate link to USA store, your links are to the UK. I purchased the charger, infrared light (game changer )and the fan. I use the fan with the VR, will be using it in the car when parked in the summer to keep the air circulating. Do you know how to set an alarm in the PSVR 2? It would save my mirage, I tell the wife I'm going to play for 45 minutes, I will take you shopping later. Then I end up coming downstairs 2 hours later. With headset and headphones, lose track of time
I was getting disconnects often saying not enough light that would last one second, I turned off my tv screen so the tv was still on but the screen is off u can do this on lg, n I never got that issue again.
I can't get the lenses completely free of oil/grease. I use optical quality microfiber cleaning cloths and the only way to remove all the oil, is to use a brand new cloth every time. The cloths say to use only warm water and air dry to clean them. This doesn't get all the oil off the cloths.
It can be frustrating when your lenses keep getting dirty, especially if you're using VR headsets for sim racing. While microfiber cloths are great for cleaning lenses, they can indeed struggle with oil and grease. Here's a method that you can try to clean both your lenses and the microfiber cloths: First, mix a small amount of dish soap with water in a bowl. Dish soap is designed to cut through grease and oil, making it an excellent choice for cleaning lenses and microfiber cloths. Dip a corner of a clean microfiber cloth into the soapy water, making sure it's not soaking wet but just damp enough to pick up the soap. Gently clean the lenses with the damp, soapy section of the cloth, using circular motions. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as you don't want to scratch the lenses. Once you've removed the oil and grease, take a dry section of the cloth or a separate clean, dry cloth and gently buff the lenses until they are dry and free of streaks. As for cleaning the microfiber cloths, you can hand-wash them with dish soap and warm water. Gently rub the soapy water into the cloth, then rinse thoroughly under running water. Make sure you remove all the soap, as any residue can cause streaking on the lenses. After rinsing, air-dry the cloths completely before using them again. Remember, it's always a good idea to consult your headset manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning your specific device, as some may have specific instructions or warnings. And finally, to prevent oil and grease from getting onto your lenses in the first place, make sure your hands are clean before handling your VR headset. It's also a good idea to avoid touching the lenses directly, as the oil from your skin can transfer to them.
@Kireth I couldn't finish my question bc yt stopped responding, had to restart phone. I've never touched the lenses, and my hands are always washed before handling. This oil I'm talking about is only visible with a flashlight looking closely at lenses. I have washed microfiber lens cloth with a little baby shampoo. Instructions for the cloth say only water but I think it's so the dye doesn't wash out, which it did when I used shampoo. So just unsure what reason there is not to use a mild soap on cloths. Probably won't hurt anything I just want to keep lenses in best possible condition.
Brilliant review mate. Explained thoroughly and completely agree on the VR2 controller charging dock. It’s fiddly and terrible. The Globular Cluster comfort mod is also a must have imo. Absolute game changer comfort wise.
I fully understand the pleasure you can get by playing in VR, but as a viewer, I hope that all your future content (and same for other GT youtubers I watch here and there) will not be in VR. Yes the passthrough image quality is good so we are not penalized by the lower res inside the headset, but the shaky image is not as pleasant as regular footage, even when the player is not moving his head too much. Plus it is always nice to alternate the cam view. With VR nowadays it seems we are limited to shaky cockpit videos only. I hope it will fade. I have PSVR1 (bought it years after release), and I will wait a bit before jumping on PSVR2. I want to try it first, and wait for the price to go down too, it'll take years but I don't mind. I also have a Quest 2 bought at a time it was heavily downpriced. Really cool on Flight Simulator for example, with the same issue of lower res rendering (might be bigger than on PSVR2 as there is no FVR nor eye tracking to optimize the image quality where it is needed).
Glad to see someone actually mentioning the blurriness, all reviews I've watched & read to date make absolutely no reference to this ?!!?? It's definitely low quality visually when compared to my dual Samsung G7 setup which I run my PC & PS5 through, but regardless of the mucky resolution the VR2 is a cracking bit of kit & ridiculously immersive especially playing GT7, which is all I've tried thus far since delivery on Friday. Will be checking out some of the demo's in the PS store when I get the chance. Is it worth £540.00 (including 2 day delivery).........probably not IMHO, but give it a try if you can afford it 👍 8/10
Nice one Kireth, I have begun a very slow kitty, which should enable a purchase within six months. I was not going to bother but I have become more than curious and I am now rather looking forward to trying it whilst remaining realistic about my expectations. Like deployed 👍
Loving your channel. I have idea for a video. Having the PSVR 2, I get everyone from ex girl friends, potential new girl friends, mother in law, mailman all wanted to see what all the noise is about. How do I go about setting a minimalist guest account on the PS5/PSVR 2, so they can try some games out and I can wipe the data for the next person. I don't want my games or progress being affected by people just want to be wowed.
lighting for tracking seems very important compared to other headsets I've owned / own rift 1, rift s and quest. I had some tracking issues too but it was mostly on my hand facing where my room was darker. got better lighting and it is making a huge difference. the only real tracking issue I get is in Horizon call of the mountain sometimes when climbing the hands will go a bit crazy when holding a hold.
@@Kireth no problem , I found your channel when you where streaming the Ukraine war, today I bring sad news, the U.S. is giving up it sovereignty this Tuesday, to the U.N., this is very bad people.
I hate the charging dock too. Why couldn't they just make them 2 pin connection point vs having to install the little 2 pin thing in the port. They hardly ever want to sit right. Takes me far too long to get them sitting just right to charge. So annoying. You def hit it on the head.
I feel the same way about the official charger. You’ll get better at it. I’m getting a stand/charger combo. I also plan on getting two additional controllers. Good video!
You have to be careful with that 100w usb charger. You really need to charge things with whatever charger they came with or you risk damaging your devices and housefires. My dad's had it happen twice now. He used a charging kit like the one in your video to charge his phone and they ended up popping and catching fire. He should have used the charger that came with his phone.
I'm afraid your dad has had some defective equipment twice, buy good quality if you can (like the ones I use), or stick with the original ones. Do NOT buy cheap aftermarket chargers. The one I've recommended is extremely high quality.
@@Kireth An electrician told us is not a good thing to do regardless of quality. If something is a set amount of amps then it needs to match. Always use whatever charger came with the product.
Just to save people money. PSVR2 controllers do not charge at 100 watts. You can have a 1million watt charger and it won't matter if the device doesn't accept it..
Other reviewer also mention that the PS OEM charging dock is not that intuitive to use. Sometimes it failed to charge the controller even it look likes its in place. But somehow other 3rd party dock works better than the OEM one.
It's not a good idea to use any USB charger. I can imagine it has the same issue as the PS controllers. There are many reports they lessened the battery time fast as well as damaging the electric controllers itself.
What are your top tips and accessories for PSVR2? 👇👇
Not to buy one.🤣
Do you think a gun style controller similar to the Aim Controller would be good or unnecessary with the new style controllers?
@@bunalotpsn Unfortunately I never used that with Farpoint, definitely less needed this time around though
IR lamp is a must have especially if you game in a dark room. I purchased mine on Amazon for 15 bucks and no more tracking issue.

@@bunalotpsn Kobra Vader One Gunstock for PSVR2 is dope, amazing stuff for Pavlow and potentially other shooters
Sunday walk in the gym with Kireth, and after that GT7 and PSVR2. Good day to everyone!
What a Sunday!!
IR lamp is a must have to those who game in dark rooms or low lighting. Only the VR cameras pick up the IR light and they are affordable.

You should provide an affiliate link to USA store, your links are to the UK. I purchased the charger, infrared light (game changer )and the fan. I use the fan with the VR, will be using it in the car when parked in the summer to keep the air circulating. Do you know how to set an alarm in the PSVR 2? It would save my mirage, I tell the wife I'm going to play for 45 minutes, I will take you shopping later. Then I end up coming downstairs 2 hours later. With headset and headphones, lose track of time
Huh nice idea, will do - just set an alarm on your phone!
Hey man, do you mind checking a link and seeing if it redirects to the USA store now?
@@Kireth yes, that now takes me to the USA Amazon store.
@@harrypottar1000 awesome 🙌🙌
Excellent tip video Kireth! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Jim!
the trick with the sense controller charger is to hold the controller from above and press down, it slots into place
Thanks Kireth for the tips!👍
No problem Kate and thanks for the support!
Iv discovered eating a carrot helps me if I start feeling motion sick or dizzy for some reason😂
I was getting disconnects often saying not enough light that would last one second, I turned off my tv screen so the tv was still on but the screen is off u can do this on lg, n I never got that issue again.
Uploading a PSVR2 video while wearing an XBOX shirt, someone is feeling cheeky lol
Get your popcorn for the comments, salty not sugar 😅😅
I can't get the lenses completely free of oil/grease. I use optical quality microfiber cleaning cloths and the only way to remove all the oil, is to use a brand new cloth every time.
The cloths say to use only warm water and air dry to clean them. This doesn't get all the oil off the cloths.
It can be frustrating when your lenses keep getting dirty, especially if you're using VR headsets for sim racing. While microfiber cloths are great for cleaning lenses, they can indeed struggle with oil and grease.
Here's a method that you can try to clean both your lenses and the microfiber cloths:
First, mix a small amount of dish soap with water in a bowl. Dish soap is designed to cut through grease and oil, making it an excellent choice for cleaning lenses and microfiber cloths.
Dip a corner of a clean microfiber cloth into the soapy water, making sure it's not soaking wet but just damp enough to pick up the soap.
Gently clean the lenses with the damp, soapy section of the cloth, using circular motions. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as you don't want to scratch the lenses.
Once you've removed the oil and grease, take a dry section of the cloth or a separate clean, dry cloth and gently buff the lenses until they are dry and free of streaks.
As for cleaning the microfiber cloths, you can hand-wash them with dish soap and warm water. Gently rub the soapy water into the cloth, then rinse thoroughly under running water. Make sure you remove all the soap, as any residue can cause streaking on the lenses. After rinsing, air-dry the cloths completely before using them again.
Remember, it's always a good idea to consult your headset manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning your specific device, as some may have specific instructions or warnings.
And finally, to prevent oil and grease from getting onto your lenses in the first place, make sure your hands are clean before handling your VR headset. It's also a good idea to avoid touching the lenses directly, as the oil from your skin can transfer to them.
@Kireth I couldn't finish my question bc yt stopped responding, had to restart phone.
I've never touched the lenses, and my hands are always washed before handling. This oil I'm talking about is only visible with a flashlight looking closely at lenses.
I have washed microfiber lens cloth with a little baby shampoo. Instructions for the cloth say only water but I think it's so the dye doesn't wash out, which it did when I used shampoo.
So just unsure what reason there is not to use a mild soap on cloths. Probably won't hurt anything I just want to keep lenses in best possible condition.
Honestly I just do circular motions to move it from the center!
Thanks. I'll try the fan.
Still getting a little bit queezy.
Definitely try a gentle breeze then!
I dunno if you can adjust your IPD on this vr but if you can you need to
Brilliant review mate. Explained thoroughly and completely agree on the VR2 controller charging dock. It’s fiddly and terrible. The Globular Cluster comfort mod is also a must have imo. Absolute game changer comfort wise.
The Xbox shirt w the psvr video 😂😂
Already scratched mine on the right glass, does Sony offer free or cheap repair or is this like a camera lens where it’s hardcore fix
Not sure I'm afraid
I fully understand the pleasure you can get by playing in VR, but as a viewer, I hope that all your future content (and same for other GT youtubers I watch here and there) will not be in VR. Yes the passthrough image quality is good so we are not penalized by the lower res inside the headset, but the shaky image is not as pleasant as regular footage, even when the player is not moving his head too much. Plus it is always nice to alternate the cam view. With VR nowadays it seems we are limited to shaky cockpit videos only. I hope it will fade.
I have PSVR1 (bought it years after release), and I will wait a bit before jumping on PSVR2. I want to try it first, and wait for the price to go down too, it'll take years but I don't mind. I also have a Quest 2 bought at a time it was heavily downpriced. Really cool on Flight Simulator for example, with the same issue of lower res rendering (might be bigger than on PSVR2 as there is no FVR nor eye tracking to optimize the image quality where it is needed).
Tbh I don't think any other GT7 youtubers will use VR going forward for various reasons!
My razor headset has haptic feedback in the headset. I’m surprised nobody on TH-cam has tried this combo yet. Should add lots of immersion
After watching gt7 in VR. I AND SO WISHING CALL OF DUTY DMZ were compatible with psvr2 I’d be throwing my money 💴
Shut up and take my money 😅😅
Glad to see someone actually mentioning the blurriness, all reviews I've watched & read to date make absolutely no reference to this ?!!??
It's definitely low quality visually when compared to my dual Samsung G7 setup which I run my PC & PS5 through, but regardless of the mucky resolution the VR2 is a cracking bit of kit & ridiculously immersive especially playing GT7, which is all I've tried thus far since delivery on Friday. Will be checking out some of the demo's in the PS store when I get the chance.
Is it worth £540.00 (including 2 day delivery).........probably not IMHO, but give it a try if you can afford it 👍
8/10
Tech reviewers did NOT do a good job
Nice one Kireth, I have begun a very slow kitty, which should enable a purchase within six months. I was not going to bother but I have become more than curious and I am now rather looking forward to trying it whilst remaining realistic about my expectations.
Like deployed 👍
Can we use glasses with it?
Yes 🙃
Loving your channel. I have idea for a video. Having the PSVR 2, I get everyone from ex girl friends, potential new girl friends, mother in law, mailman all wanted to see what all the noise is about. How do I go about setting a minimalist guest account on the PS5/PSVR 2, so they can try some games out and I can wipe the data for the next person. I don't want my games or progress being affected by people just want to be wowed.
Super useful video. 👌😊
Thanks Susie!
Didn't find the link to buy the attitude lol
lighting for tracking seems very important compared to other headsets I've owned / own rift 1, rift s and quest. I had some tracking issues too but it was mostly on my hand facing where my room was darker. got better lighting and it is making a huge difference. the only real tracking issue I get is in Horizon call of the mountain sometimes when climbing the hands will go a bit crazy when holding a hold.
Turn on tracking support in the settings if you play with the TV on... I felt a significant improvement with that on
@@Q-Limited i deff do! thanks for the tip! that did help some but i still get the occasional tracking hicups but really nothing that bad!
@@dankzvr glad it was useful 👍
Great vid bro👍
Thanks Rubber and thanks for your incredible support of the channel!
@@Kireth no problem , I found your channel when you where streaming the Ukraine war, today I bring sad news, the U.S. is giving up it sovereignty this Tuesday, to the U.N., this is very bad people.
Try the nova pros if you looking for a great headset to play with psvr2
I hate the charging dock too. Why couldn't they just make them 2 pin connection point vs having to install the little 2 pin thing in the port. They hardly ever want to sit right. Takes me far too long to get them sitting just right to charge. So annoying. You def hit it on the head.
Yuuuup!
Hi kireth my epos h6 pro fit with the vr2 👍
Did you try this charger ? they say quick charge dont charge them :/
Do the Dual Sense controllers pulse while recharging and shut off when fully charged when using the USB charger? Thanks
They don't shut off when they sit in the charger I believe
Are Nintendo switch usbc cables as good?
I feel the same way about the official charger. You’ll get better at it. I’m getting a stand/charger combo. I also plan on getting two additional controllers. Good video!
Thanks man!
You have to be careful with that 100w usb charger. You really need to charge things with whatever charger they came with or you risk damaging your devices and housefires. My dad's had it happen twice now. He used a charging kit like the one in your video to charge his phone and they ended up popping and catching fire. He should have used the charger that came with his phone.
I'm afraid your dad has had some defective equipment twice, buy good quality if you can (like the ones I use), or stick with the original ones.
Do NOT buy cheap aftermarket chargers.
The one I've recommended is extremely high quality.
@@Kireth An electrician told us is not a good thing to do regardless of quality. If something is a set amount of amps then it needs to match. Always use whatever charger came with the product.
We need cloth headset pads. The vinyl is too sweaty.
Just to save people money. PSVR2 controllers do not charge at 100 watts. You can have a 1million watt charger and it won't matter if the device doesn't accept it..
Am I the only person who likes the Sony controller dock? Lol
What game was shown in the beginning in rocky terrain shooting the aliens?
Star wars tales from the galaxy edge (demo available)
Is there an IPD adjustment?
Yes!
You know ive asked like 10 youtubers these questions & youre the only one to reply.
Youve earned my sub.
Only takes a second to reply!
Kireth, can i wear a glasses and PSVR 2 together ? i have dry eyes issues watching screen without Blue BLock Glasses is a bit too much.
You can wear glasses with it :)
You can but I would not recommend metal frames, because of the risk of scratching
Thanks!
@@renorzeta They don't scratch easily at all. Just be careful. Outer lenses can always be replaced too. No different than a mobile phone screen.
It's am absolute nightmare getting them controllers to line up 😂
Other reviewer also mention that the PS OEM charging dock is not that intuitive to use. Sometimes it failed to charge the controller even it look likes its in place. But somehow other 3rd party dock works better than the OEM one.
Yeah it's frustrating 😅😅
Can I charger my ps5 controller dual sense on psvr2 controller charger?
no
Mr.Kireth give me your honest word does the PSVR worth to buy it or no?
Depends how much money you have!
@@Kireth I have money no issue but I like to pay on things that deserve that money.
@@Kireth BTW I didn’t try VR before this will be my first time.
I was putting away some cash every week to buy a DD wheel but I'm goin to get a psvr2 instead.
If you already have a wheel, I'd say PSVR2 is the better upgrade
@Kireth
Yeah I have a TGT at the moment .
Already a solid wheel so agreed PSVR2 is the upgrade!
It's not a good idea to use any USB charger. I can imagine it has the same issue as the PS controllers. There are many reports they lessened the battery time fast as well as damaging the electric controllers itself.
Digging the Xbox shirt
Play in front of a window best experience
Kind sir, can you please tell me if you can race against people in GT7 on PSVR2?
Or just against AI still...
Yes have a look at my latest videos 🙃
@@Kireth thank you for the reply.
Np JP!
How many psvr2s does everyone think will sell from pre order date until March 1st?
I think they had 1.5m ready for pre order/launch so I'd say close to that, maybe a tad under👍
@AARONS REFRIGERATION I hope they sell well. I just can't order mine until Thursday, and I don't want them to sell out, lol 😅
I am only interested in racing games it's a pity they do not sell the headset on its own I think the price is to high for what it is.
#1 buy a PlayStation T-shirt
I love how he's wherein a Xbox shirt on a ps review
I bought it, I love it, and I don't get people that just bitch about it not being "perfect".
