I did realize this after I uploaded the video. Should have made it very clear, #notsponsored by VRCover. I just really enjoy their products and used them even before I started TH-cam. I don't know what it is, I think it's where I find the quality is very good on them.

This might be an urgent bug for oculus quest one, I've already reported it. If you use the screenshot shortcut on the oculus quest one after a recent update, not only will it not work, it will vanish your menus. if this isn't just a bug on my quest, you might need to add a warning over your screenshot comment that it may be bugged. I have had this happen on 2 accounts now. it happened on my login, then I added shared accounts, then tried to take a screenshot and it happened on the second account too. that's how I worked out the cause. no idea if it happens in the quest 2. the menus disappear when the universal menu does, the only way to use the browser on my account now it with the universal menu up at all times. It's great for looking around your home, but I haven't yet found a way to reverse it.
If your Quest 2 works in near total darkness, remember, its using IR not the entire visual spectrum of light. So you probably have something lighting up your room with IR. Its a known trick to buy a IR lamp or bulb so you can play in the dark.
@@jiinkC Don't worry, I got this Xiaomi ones that also have pure white light with "temperature" so I just put my lights on the coldest setting with lowest bright so it doesn't annoy the eyes
Quick tip for the link folks, GET A CHIP CLIP. A chip clip is a much cheaper way of keeping the cable out of your way compared to a pulley system. You can clip the cable to your back and it will stay out of your way. I use this trick every time I play steamVR. Please do this if you're new and don't want to deal with the difficulty of a pulley system.
If you get motion sick on a headset DON'T get rid of it or sell it...you will build a immunity to motion sickness over time but if you hate motion sickness put a weak or strong breeze (from like a fan) in a direction you want to face but keep it out of your guardian and it helps tremendously with the motion sickness or the bootleg version play on a different terrain than the floor of the room eg; play on a rug if your floor is laminated This helps also with keeping you from moving without noticing, something even veterans can't help so save your self from repairing a wall (Yes your wall will break and the controllers will be fine if they hit one another).
Get some lens polish like polywatch! If you scratch your lenses, this will enable you to polish that scratch away. Just use a Q-Tip and a tiny amount of the polishing paste. Get a carrying case. It's the easiest way to keep your headset out of the sun.
@@clearish seriously 😐? You've asked whether it comes with the controllers and now asking if it comes with the charger.. No It doesn't come with either of those so when you get you new headset you can just sit there with it on your head with no power and no means of controlling it
one tip that i always use is that when you set your boundary, try to draw it 2-3 inches away from your walls and objects so that if you punch you don't hit the wall and set off your boundary
Stock headstrap is fine. Just needs an 8-10oz counterweight, like a 10k mah powerbank velcro strapped the rear of it. An AMVR rearheadpad in addition makes this go from ok to super comfy. Play with this setup along with the VRcover for 7 hours with no discomfort.
@Pitt i just leave it on there. Only time i've had to remove it so far was when i took it somewhere over airplane and then i just replaced it. It's not like a reusable water bottle or anything, just a bottled water.
One tip for extended playtime is to get yourself a 10000mAh battery pack & a lengthy right-angle Type C to A cable. Pocket the battery & run the cord, and you get several hours of playtime. Very handy with extended meetups in VRChat.
pro tip: i use a sock folded in half as a lens cover when I'm not using the headset because why would I spend 5-10€ on a piece of fabric to cover my lenses
@@atombell991 that's smart, my microfiber cloth isn't big enough to use as a lens cover though. i just keep it on my desk always in reach in case I need it
since you re uploaded it here was my comment "10:15 the answer to this is because android (the underlying os of the quest) automatically connects to the strongest wifi network saved. since the 5g band has less range than the 2.4g band, when you are somewhat far away from the router, it automatically switches to the 2.4g band."
Which can be disabled on the router side as well (some routers do that on their side) by disabling the 2.4 band and the auto switch option (which has a different name for almost every brand of router...)
Yes, the range for the 2.4g band is farther than the 5g band, but the router combines them into one name which will show up in the android settings as one network, yet with 2 different Mac addresses. The device will show up as connected to one network, when in reality it is connected to the strongest (and in most cases the most powerful) network. This feature does come with different names like you said.
@@Akab Generally I wouldn't recommend this though, there are a lot of IoT and more basic or legacy devices that can only connect to 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi that you might unknowingly have
@@planefan082 yeah you wouldnt need to deactivate the 2.4 vabs though, you could also keep it as a seperate network with its own ssid and stuff to keep those particula devices working f. e. i use my 5ghz band soley for high speed and the 2.4 for everything else
Advice number one: If you prefer playing in the dark like me, get an infrared illuminator. The headset will be able to track it just like normal lights, but it's not visible to the human eye. Advice number two: Don't worry, Mysticle isn't listing any pharmaceutical side effects at the end of his videos. Pozdro!
Very small tip, run your link cable through the small loop on the back of the default strap, it keeps the whole thing out of the way and in check. I recommend doing this with any wired accessory
A fan can cool you off and help with motion sickness, I personally only had to use the headset for a day or two to overcome motion sickness, but the fan still helped in that time
4:53 If you want to use the original Quest 2 straps as knuckle straps (and you don't want to cut off the blood flow to your fingers), take one side of the strap and pull it as taut as possible, which will loosen the other side. If you have larger hands, this will give you much more room to work with.
Finally received funding at my job to order 8 new quest 2 headsets to have VR for the community. Can't wait to I troduce so many people to the world of VR. Also we bought a Valve Index as well to show off the pinnacle of VR. I've been using that at home for the past year.... Perks of the job ;)
I agree on the strap, some people find it comfortable some people don't. Though I've been using the original strap for more than 8 months and it's really comfortable imo.
The top head strap gives you pretty good support and avoid smashing the headset against your face giving you hot spots very soon before you even start the game, the issue is that it gives you an inverted mowhawk if you have an extended session. I use a beanie, im not sure about thin ones but the one I have is a little thick and sits right above my eye brows which allows me to sit most of that headset on my forehead, reliving most of that pressure from my face. I do have a pro strap with battery, it isn't working for comfort or counterbalance even if I have a comfort kit and I might switch over to the regular strap with vrpower battery which has move power and the perfect weight balance. I really makes it feel like it just sits on top of my head
I only tried VR once at a demo in a store. It was Playstation VR, and the most amazing thing about it is that I had to take off my glasses bc they didn't have a spacer, but I could see things better and clearer in VR than I did IRL with my glasses on sometimes. And that shit blew my mind
I bought AirServer as was recommended by a few VR videos. Zero regrets! It fills the screen and you don’t need your destination to have your Facebook connected! (Say, the living room laptop is on a projector)
I bought my 128GB version last week, the IPD tip and the android game tip were new to me and finally something else than the tips on every other VR channel. thx.
mine snapped, I ended up getting the battery one next. I would say that they did offer to replace it and have fixed the snapping issue... supposebly. I also have the Vive Deluxe but no addapters for the Quest 2. That's still my favorite head strap. I've used others as well but it's still my favorite. I would also say that they come with a silicone adapter now. That's actually one thing I do praise Quest about is that they do listen to users and fix problems.
I highly recommend trying to get a high end or mid tier pc before diving into VR. just so your first look at VR is as watered down. I decided to get a quest without a pc able to run games and I don't quite regret it but it's not the same as how all the youtubers content show it out to be.
Been trying VR ever since the Google Cardboard; I've tried the Samsung headset with the 1 remote & cheap plastic ones too. Oculus has obviously much much better head tracking than a phone strapped to your face, but the graphics still look like graphics. Even the TH-cam 360 videos are lacking in quality/resolution. I don't think we're at the point that one can say "wow, it looks so real"
@@josemtz4517 makes me wonder with the youtube 360 videos, is it the quest itself? or is it the videos? 1080p browser screen looks much better than any of the 360 videos i tried watching... youtube or non ;)
My IPD is around 71 so at first it was really uncomfortable to play for long periods of time. Eventually I found out that I could push slightly on the inside of the lenses and adjust the settings to roughly match my eyes. It wouldn’t stay like that though so what I did is take a pink Paper Mate eraser and cut the ends off of it well it was just a little bit wider than the space in between the lenses. I have it stuffed in between the lenses and it holds them at the perfect distance apart for my eyes. Be sure not to let it cover up the proximity sensors on the inside of the headset though.
I have a headset with an audio jack, so I would reccommend a small male to male audio cable. this stops repeated audio in apps like VRChat, which I have had people complain about. great video, very usefull, thanks.
ok so, ive had the Quest 2 since launch and i got some tips. The whole tracking in the dark occurs when the room is lit in IR. so if you have any kind of IR source like perhaps an Xbox Kinect you will be able to track properly in the dark. second tip if you are using a pully system for link and the standard strap, Thread the wire through the bottom and up the top of the back of the strap, it will greatly prevent a lot of tear of the wire and also keep the port of the headset safe.
You did mention it in regards to the pro strap. However I just want to say a battery pack, some Velcro and string to the back of the original strap is a literal game changer. Has to be the best add on I have used for the quest 2!!!!
if you dont wanna get rid of your boundary, but you still wanna watch youtube or browser or something you want to sit down for, you can set a boundary for your chair, its in experimental settings and theres an option for a table as well
Getting the VRcover faceplate helped so much with the quest to. Not because of the skin thing, never had that issue, but because of the way it sat on my face was impossible to make comfortable.
One thing i would recommend if you wear glasses is Vr Wave lenses. You just snap the adapters onto the Quest 2 lenses and the prescription lenses hold on with magnets, so they are easy to take off and clean, or to share the headset. They also make non prescription lenses which protect your quest lenses and you can get anti glare and blue light filtering as well. For me, they were a life saver, as my new glasses were a snug fit and I already had to get one replacement cus they broke, and I feel the headset might of been part of the cause. It also causes the frames to bend cus it presses so hard against my glasses, and caused pain and discomfort. After like 10 mins the pain would be so bad I had to take a break. So overall I highly recommend VR wave for anyone who needs lenses. Their customer service is also fantastic. Chinese people always seem so kind when they talk to you, least the ones I talked to, so that's a plus. 4 days after ordered, they were installed on my headset. 5/5 must buy.
tip: the frankenquest is 100% worth it. The Vive Deluxe Audio Strap just sounds amazing and the parts to install it are cheap and extremely easy to install.
the das definitely is overhyped I have one and it is impossible to play over an hour before it starts weighing down on my face. even attaching a powerbank to the back didn't outweigh it. thinking about getting the bobovr m2 cause the rift s is the comfiest headset I've ever used.
I have tested this several times. and i can say that, although Virtual Desktop and Air Link say is not good practice, we can use a dedicated Wi-Fi6 for both the computer and quest 2. It actually works better because your quest will be using 1200Mbps connection speed and the computer can use 1400Mbps instead of the 1Gbps that the cable provides. They both need to be Wi-Fi 6 (802.11AX), you must have a computer with a 160Mhz wifi card, disable 2.4Ghz network, and only have the computer and quest 2. you can have a phone or 2 but they have to be idle. I have played many games and didn't have any issues and i had less network latency.
If you don't have a lot of space to move in, get REAL familiar with your surroundings before you go in VR. For Wired Sessions, you don't necessarily need a full pully system, but at least one strap keeping the cable up and away from your feet will help so much. A big one, amazingly enough, try out air link before you go running out to buy a new router specifically for wireless VR. I was pleasantly surprised to find the relatively crap AC router my ISP gave me 3 years ago actually just works flawlessly, and no real discernable lag or quality drop, even with the bitrate cranked. Sometimes things just work.
I don't even wear glasses but I use the glasses spacer in my quest 2 cause it was the only way I could get a proper ipd where it looked really clear all the time downside is I hada start kinda looking slightly to side on certain things on beat saber I'm guessing because of the extra Lil bit its pushed out make it not see sides as good but I can deal with that compared to me feeling sick a lot more from an improper ipd without it o also when you start use a wash rag on floor and keep one foot always on that will help keep you oriented when first starting out.
I love the original strap paired with AMVR Head Back Padding. Holds great! and is so comfortable for laying back in a chair or bed to relax and watch a movie.
Quick tip when using wired headphones be careful or make sure the cable is small, I learned that the hard way and broke not only the headphones but also the area around my quest2’s audio jack
Some games have physical mod adapters available for your controllers to mimic the feel of whatever device you are wielding in VR. Find out out if there is one for your favourite game through a discord channel associated with your game. So for instance, I play Eleven Table Tennis. There are mods that turn your controller into the feel of a paddle and is configurable in the game options. Or there are rifle and gun mods for shooting/war games. Many such adapters are on Etsy or similar. Make sure to purchase for Quest 2 and not the first Quest because the controllers are different. If playing a very physical game, have a fan blowing at you to reduce fogging on lens. Brilliant beginners video btw!
vive deluxe audio strap with 3d printed adapters has been my go to option for a head strap replacement. not only is it comfy but has awesome audio the doesnt cause feedback issues with the quest2 mic
for people with wall paper engine, for some reason when it is on and i use the quest 2 with the wall paper engine it causes the quest 2 lag and spike alot. Try turning it off when using vr
A pretty cool tip I don't see much people talk about is if you have a long headphone cable on (1) side you can rap it around the headphone side and it shortens it
So I have a small ish Play space and a lot of times just reaching my arms out will make the gardian appear, despite my head not moving or getting close to the boundary. I have found a setting that allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the gardian for the controllers and the headset individually. I recommend turning the controller sensitivity all the way down so your hands don't trigger the gardian as much. I just kidda wish you could disable the gardian apearing when you hand gets close completely. That would be truly amazing
With a usbc to standard adapter, it is possible to use a cheap 10 dollars hdmi to usb adapter to "see" your console games inside quest in a 2d window, much less latency than using it through pc via a capture card there.
14:49 extra tip. Don't play rythm games such as beat saber or synth riders etc, with a Bluetooth headset wirelessly connected. From my experience there is a massive delay and makes beat saber practically unplayable
I use a link cable. The only reason i dont use a pulley system is cuz i cant. The roof of my room isnt flat at all. I legit have a gable roof cutout in my roof. Any tips?
If you use your quest 2 for exercise or get foggy lenses a lot the bobovr headset fan is amazing. Last I saw it was sold out on amazon but keep an eye out. My best purchase so far.
So far i've had no issues with my elite headstrap with batt. What I don't like is that you can't connect the oculus link cable directly to that and pass through data. I wind up not using the battery because I use my oculus with the anker dock, lol...
About that supernatural quest model, I think I also have one. We had a power outage and I could play it using small candles to light up the room and nothing else
the right angled cable with link always disconnects me and i flipped it around and used the normal side and it doesn’t disconnect me (using party link)
When you put on the included headstrap it might help to first put the arms up, then you just put it on and move the arms downwards again. I don't know where I saw it but it can sometimes help if the strap is cutting into your ears or uncomfortable in another way.
If you want more wireless playtime, get a powerbank. Bonus points if you get a good size one (not too heavy or light) to strap to the back of your head to counterbalance. Also make sure it's at least 2.4amp.
Just a tip, just because you have the boundary set up doesn't mean you won't hit anything. Make sure to leave a gap in between the boundary and the wall/furniture. Additionally, MAKE SURE TO SET UP THE BOUNDRY AN ARMS LENGTH FROM ANY TV/COMPUTER MONITOR PERIOD. You do not want to be the guy/girl who smashes his or her fist through the family room tv or your own computer monitor.
Can someone help me, I've had the Quest 2 for a bit now and I've done all the updates but the 120Hz still doesn't show up, the calories option doesn't show either and the V31 new update on the look of universal menu doesn't show either. Is there a fix to this?
I am fairly new to Oculus Quest 2 but overall not new to VR itself. I have been using Valve Index since launch but have to say the quest 2, for my purpose, is better. Why? Because Wireless gaming. Now to the recommendation. For everyone who is comfortable with the standard strap, as I am, but need a bit more of position secure for the back of your head I can easily recommend you a head back padding. I am using one from AMVR but there are surely more out there. It's a flimsy circular shaped strap which is mounted on the back of the standard strap. It's comfortable even if you want to sleep in VR since it's soft and flimsy. Another recommendation: Buy a VR Headset stand and/or a Quest 2 suitcase. I for myself bought a suitcase just to protect it and put it away while I'm not playing VR. A recommendation related to the controller: The batteries will last long enough but I recommend buying rechargeable once with a battery recharge station. Software wise I recommend Virtual Desktop if you also want to play PCVR wirelessly. I tried the Oculus Airlink but couldn't get better or even the same performance and quality of it. Maybe it's just for my case. Oh and another thing to say. Get a power bank. I was happy that I had one. I didn't noticed how the time passed until I got the warning of low battery. With this I am done with recommending stuff. I am really happy with the Quest 2 and prefer it over the Index. Have a good day/night and stay safe !
You can often clean paint from hitting walls off the controllers by getting a melamine sponge (often called a magic sponge). Wet the sponge a tiny bit before scrubbing lightly and then with more pressure until the paint releases.
Vr cover or kiwi design, the only thing that worries me about the vr cover is that it goes over the ring on the controll so it might mess up my thumb due to me fully lifting my thumb for some reason
The free VR cover from Oculus is nice, def worth the wait even if you haven't had irritation. My young nephew had a horrrrrrrible rash so I picked it up incase he drops by. Easier to sanatize.
Got the original Quest, you're really making me want a Quest 2, so many features, and finding a good headstrap for the Quest has been a nightmare of a chore. (Still looking) I am very tempted to get a Quest 2, even if I have to sell my soul to Facebook. I meant privacy, not soul.. I have played a few times in my garden, at night time, around 11pm.. My quest also works in the dark, weirdly enough.. I am impressed of the durability of the controllers though, I've had it since 2019, bashed them against walls, the headset (don't ask) and eachother, and there's no damage, maybe a scratch or two. I can agree, use wipes to clean the lenses, and if you have a way to keep your glasses away from the lenses, do it. My Quest's lenses are covered in scratches, curse my bad eyes.. :(
The thing about the headstrap is it cant be tight with out putting a very painful presure on your head because it doesnt have padding, its like putting a fat rubber band around your head, think of the rubber band and watermelon challenge just less extreme but thats what it feels like.
Use a mat in the middle of your play space, this one i huge for me, it keeps you in the middle of your play space to you don’t end up drifting and hiring a wall or having your guardian pop up
silicone is better than pleather for a facial interface. this one of course is subjective but I have both and the pleather one slips down my face while the silicone one doesn't.
I use glasses in my vr but i have never scratched it nor my glasses, but i have used vr for like a year now so either i just cant find the scratches or overly protective.
Another quick tip! If your playing in your bed lean forward a little when your setting up your stationary boundary so you won’t get annoyed with the lines popping up whenever you go to move your hands
Quest 2 supports OTG? I bought a flash drive with USB C. Smartphone can see it. Quest 2 does not. It beeps something when I insert it but it does not see the drive, the same on the TotalCommander app.
Tip. If you're playing vr for the first time and the only area you have for a playspace has hard non-carpeted floors. Wear shoes. When you're in vr standing still, you may not notice how much pain your feet will be in until you move your foot for the first time in 20 minutes.
Crap! Thank you I wondered about this and it was on my list to find an answer. Do you know appx how long (on average) it takes to go from 0 (dead) to 100%? I left mine plugged in over night last night and it occurred to me that was stupid as hell. Wouldn’t it be nice if an upgrade included a kind of “charging kill switch” so no matter how long you left the charger on it would kill once you hit 100%?
I might be in the minority, but I immediately returned my Elite Head Strap (I had pre-ordered it at launch). The base head strap is so much more comfortable to me than the Elite Strap. (For the Quest 1, I use a DAS, because it is more comfortable, but for Quest 2, stock head strap is great.)
If u plug in the quest to a battery pack it will stop charging at 100 as the pack will stop sending power. At least mine does. You can use an ir blaster to play at night
I swear I've seen the small white clip used on the side of the headset in this video. I want to find one and use it with my link cable. Where does it come from?

I got one on Aliexpress and it's not very comfortable. I kept the original one from Oculus.

Where your controller got a scuff from the wall, use a pencil eraser on the scuff. Should remove it nicely.

If you get motion sick on a headset DON'T get rid of it or sell it...you will build a immunity to motion sickness over time but if you hate motion sickness put a weak or strong breeze (from like a fan) in a direction you want to face but keep it out of your guardian and it helps tremendously with the motion sickness or the bootleg version play on a different terrain than the floor of the room
eg; play on a rug if your floor is laminated
This helps also with keeping you from moving without noticing, something even veterans can't help so save your self from repairing a wall (Yes your wall will break and the controllers will be fine if they hit one another).

@@planefan082 yeah you wouldnt need to deactivate the 2.4 vabs though, you could also keep it as a seperate network with its own ssid and stuff to keep those particula devices working f. e. i use my 5ghz band soley for high speed and the 2.4 for everything else
Advice number one: If you prefer playing in the dark like me, get an infrared illuminator. The headset will be able to track it just like normal lights, but it's not visible to the human eye. Advice number two: Don't worry, Mysticle isn't listing any pharmaceutical side effects at the end of his videos. Pozdro!
Very small tip, run your link cable through the small loop on the back of the default strap, it keeps the whole thing out of the way and in check. I recommend doing this with any wired accessory
6:53 I use the lens protector that came in the box, it's free and it's doing the job!
There is a protector in the box?
Lol the plastic
@@vincentlool7946 It is a small cardboard which explains how to move the lenses and which serves to protect the lenses during delivery.
GUYS, Never do that. It can easily scratch your lenses.
@@des__ The facial interface is blocking it before it can scratch the lenses. You can't push it too far.
(the reason this video was re uploaded is because youtube rendered the video in 360p and it looked horrible, just for anyone wondering)
A fan can cool you off and help with motion sickness, I personally only had to use the headset for a day or two to overcome motion sickness, but the fan still helped in that time
4:53 If you want to use the original Quest 2 straps as knuckle straps (and you don't want to cut off the blood flow to your fingers), take one side of the strap and pull it as taut as possible, which will loosen the other side. If you have larger hands, this will give you much more room to work with.
no need for covers, I just use my microfiber cloth, doesn't fall off if done propperly and covers the whole lens
just ordered mine the other day and i'm watching videos while waiting for it to arrive, thank you so much for this video!
Finally received funding at my job to order 8 new quest 2 headsets to have VR for the community. Can't wait to I troduce so many people to the world of VR. Also we bought a Valve Index as well to show off the pinnacle of VR. I've been using that at home for the past year.... Perks of the job ;)
tip, change the warmth of the colors in your headset, it helps alot and can iradicate eye strain
I agree on the strap, some people find it comfortable some people don't. Though I've been using the original strap for more than 8 months and it's really comfortable imo.
The top head strap gives you pretty good support and avoid smashing the headset against your face giving you hot spots very soon before you even start the game, the issue is that it gives you an inverted mowhawk if you have an extended session.
I use a beanie, im not sure about thin ones but the one I have is a little thick and sits right above my eye brows which allows me to sit most of that headset on my forehead, reliving most of that pressure from my face.
I do have a pro strap with battery, it isn't working for comfort or counterbalance even if I have a comfort kit and I might switch over to the regular strap with vrpower battery which has move power and the perfect weight balance.
I really makes it feel like it just sits on top of my head
Just ordered my Quest 2 today! It's coming in tomorrow. Can't wait!
same here been binging these videos in anticipation
Same
Same 🥳
It will blow your mind
I only tried VR once at a demo in a store. It was Playstation VR, and the most amazing thing about it is that I had to take off my glasses bc they didn't have a spacer, but I could see things better and clearer in VR than I did IRL with my glasses on sometimes. And that shit blew my mind
I bought AirServer as was recommended by a few VR videos. Zero regrets! It fills the screen and you don’t need your destination to have your Facebook connected! (Say, the living room laptop is on a projector)
i cant wait I'vee been wanting one for six months and now I can get it thanks I've been watching toons of video
I bought my 128GB version last week, the IPD tip and the android game tip were new to me and finally something else than the tips on every other VR channel. thx.
mine snapped, I ended up getting the battery one next. I would say that they did offer to replace it and have fixed the snapping issue... supposebly. I also have the Vive Deluxe but no addapters for the Quest 2. That's still my favorite head strap. I've used others as well but it's still my favorite. I would also say that they come with a silicone adapter now. That's actually one thing I do praise Quest about is that they do listen to users and fix problems.
I highly recommend trying to get a high end or mid tier pc before diving into VR. just so your first look at VR is as watered down. I decided to get a quest without a pc able to run games and I don't quite regret it but it's not the same as how all the youtubers content show it out to be.
Been trying VR ever since the Google Cardboard; I've tried the Samsung headset with the 1 remote & cheap plastic ones too. Oculus has obviously much much better head tracking than a phone strapped to your face, but the graphics still look like graphics. Even the TH-cam 360 videos are lacking in quality/resolution. I don't think we're at the point that one can say "wow, it looks so real"
@@josemtz4517 makes me wonder with the youtube 360 videos, is it the quest itself? or is it the videos? 1080p browser screen looks much better than any of the 360 videos i tried watching... youtube or non ;)
Quest 2 fully supports USB OTG?? How did you make it work? Can you share some more info on that?
My IPD is around 71 so at first it was really uncomfortable to play for long periods of time. Eventually I found out that I could push slightly on the inside of the lenses and adjust the settings to roughly match my eyes. It wouldn’t stay like that though so what I did is take a pink Paper Mate eraser and cut the ends off of it well it was just a little bit wider than the space in between the lenses. I have it stuffed in between the lenses and it holds them at the perfect distance apart for my eyes. Be sure not to let it cover up the proximity sensors on the inside of the headset though.
I have a headset with an audio jack, so I would reccommend a small male to male audio cable.
this stops repeated audio in apps like VRChat, which I have had people complain about.
great video, very usefull, thanks.
ok so, ive had the Quest 2 since launch and i got some tips.
The whole tracking in the dark occurs when the room is lit in IR. so if you have any kind of IR source like perhaps an Xbox Kinect you will be able to track properly in the dark.
second tip if you are using a pully system for link and the standard strap, Thread the wire through the bottom and up the top of the back of the strap, it will greatly prevent a lot of tear of the wire and also keep the port of the headset safe.
You did mention it in regards to the pro strap. However I just want to say a battery pack, some Velcro and string to the back of the original strap is a literal game changer. Has to be the best add on I have used for the quest 2!!!!
if you dont wanna get rid of your boundary, but you still wanna watch youtube or browser or something you want to sit down for, you can set a boundary for your chair, its in experimental settings and theres an option for a table as well
Getting the VRcover faceplate helped so much with the quest to. Not because of the skin thing, never had that issue, but because of the way it sat on my face was impossible to make comfortable.
One thing i would recommend if you wear glasses is Vr Wave lenses. You just snap the adapters onto the Quest 2 lenses and the prescription lenses hold on with magnets, so they are easy to take off and clean, or to share the headset. They also make non prescription lenses which protect your quest lenses and you can get anti glare and blue light filtering as well. For me, they were a life saver, as my new glasses were a snug fit and I already had to get one replacement cus they broke, and I feel the headset might of been part of the cause. It also causes the frames to bend cus it presses so hard against my glasses, and caused pain and discomfort. After like 10 mins the pain would be so bad I had to take a break. So overall I highly recommend VR wave for anyone who needs lenses. Their customer service is also fantastic. Chinese people always seem so kind when they talk to you, least the ones I talked to, so that's a plus. 4 days after ordered, they were installed on my headset. 5/5 must buy.
tip: the frankenquest is 100% worth it. The Vive Deluxe Audio Strap just sounds amazing and the parts to install it are cheap and extremely easy to install.
the das definitely is overhyped I have one and it is impossible to play over an hour before it starts weighing down on my face. even attaching a powerbank to the back didn't outweigh it. thinking about getting the bobovr m2 cause the rift s is the comfiest headset I've ever used.
Kinda simple but over looked i think is a small centering rug. Even if its super cheap it saves you from hitting walls and helps orientation.
I have tested this several times. and i can say that, although Virtual Desktop and Air Link say is not good practice, we can use a dedicated Wi-Fi6 for both the computer and quest 2.
It actually works better because your quest will be using 1200Mbps connection speed and the computer can use 1400Mbps instead of the 1Gbps that the cable provides. They both need to be Wi-Fi 6 (802.11AX), you must have a computer with a 160Mhz wifi card, disable 2.4Ghz network, and only have the computer and quest 2. you can have a phone or 2 but they have to be idle.
I have played many games and didn't have any issues and i had less network latency.
If you don't have a lot of space to move in, get REAL familiar with your surroundings before you go in VR. For Wired Sessions, you don't necessarily need a full pully system, but at least one strap keeping the cable up and away from your feet will help so much. A big one, amazingly enough, try out air link before you go running out to buy a new router specifically for wireless VR. I was pleasantly surprised to find the relatively crap AC router my ISP gave me 3 years ago actually just works flawlessly, and no real discernable lag or quality drop, even with the bitrate cranked. Sometimes things just work.
I don't even wear glasses but I use the glasses spacer in my quest 2 cause it was the only way I could get a proper ipd where it looked really clear all the time downside is I hada start kinda looking slightly to side on certain things on beat saber I'm guessing because of the extra Lil bit its pushed out make it not see sides as good but I can deal with that compared to me feeling sick a lot more from an improper ipd without it o also when you start use a wash rag on floor and keep one foot always on that will help keep you oriented when first starting out.
I love the original strap paired with AMVR Head Back Padding. Holds great! and is so comfortable for laying back in a chair or bed to relax and watch a movie.
Quick tip when using wired headphones be careful or make sure the cable is small, I learned that the hard way and broke not only the headphones but also the area around my quest2’s audio jack
Some games have physical mod adapters available for your controllers to mimic the feel of whatever device you are wielding in VR. Find out out if there is one for your favourite game through a discord channel associated with your game. So for instance, I play Eleven Table Tennis. There are mods that turn your controller into the feel of a paddle and is configurable in the game options. Or there are rifle and gun mods for shooting/war games. Many such adapters are on Etsy or similar. Make sure to purchase for Quest 2 and not the first Quest because the controllers are different. If playing a very physical game, have a fan blowing at you to reduce fogging on lens. Brilliant beginners video btw!
vive deluxe audio strap with 3d printed adapters has been my go to option for a head strap replacement. not only is it comfy but has awesome audio the doesnt cause feedback issues with the quest2 mic
for people with wall paper engine, for some reason when it is on and i use the quest 2 with the wall paper engine it causes the quest 2 lag and spike alot. Try turning it off when using vr
I feel like everyone should know about dev mode, and the experimental features it gives you. I personally love dev mode.
A pretty cool tip I don't see much people talk about is if you have a long headphone cable on (1) side you can rap it around the headphone side and it shortens it
So I have a small ish Play space and a lot of times just reaching my arms out will make the gardian appear, despite my head not moving or getting close to the boundary. I have found a setting that allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the gardian for the controllers and the headset individually. I recommend turning the controller sensitivity all the way down so your hands don't trigger the gardian as much. I just kidda wish you could disable the gardian apearing when you hand gets close completely. That would be truly amazing
With a usbc to standard adapter, it is possible to use a cheap 10 dollars hdmi to usb adapter to "see" your console games inside quest in a 2d window, much less latency than using it through pc via a capture card there.
Thanks for the valuable insight, mate. Managed to get two Quests and I'm excited(and prepared!) to finally delve into VR.
Subbed!!
14:49 extra tip. Don't play rythm games such as beat saber or synth riders etc, with a Bluetooth headset wirelessly connected. From my experience there is a massive delay and makes beat saber practically unplayable
Get a good pair of headphones. The speakers are good, but sometimes you play games that are better when you have a sealed surround sound experience.
Yeahh Pavlov can sound a bit "tinny" (Not that much base in it)
I use a link cable. The only reason i dont use a pulley system is cuz i cant. The roof of my room isnt flat at all. I legit have a gable roof cutout in my roof. Any tips?
If you use your quest 2 for exercise or get foggy lenses a lot the bobovr headset fan is amazing. Last I saw it was sold out on amazon but keep an eye out. My best purchase so far.
So far i've had no issues with my elite headstrap with batt. What I don't like is that you can't connect the oculus link cable directly to that and pass through data.
I wind up not using the battery because I use my oculus with the anker dock, lol...
About that supernatural quest model, I think I also have one. We had a power outage and I could play it using small candles to light up the room and nothing else
Real ones saw it before it was privated
I saved it to my watch later, came back back and it was gone 😭
@@ImTooLockedIn real ones watch it instantly, even if it means dropping the baby you're holding straight off a cliff
@@lucariodabosse real ones have jobs😂😂😂
@@ImTooLockedIn real ones leave their jobs to watch The Mysticle
Haha idk why but on my whatchlater its on privat but I can watch it on my Start game
the right angled cable with link always disconnects me and i flipped it around and used the normal side and it doesn’t disconnect me (using party link)
Now if you don't have 60 hs on but have it at Auto you will get some weird tracking so I suggest keep it on 60 Hs at all time
why did you have to reload in the same minute?
When you put on the included headstrap it might help to first put the arms up, then you just put it on and move the arms downwards again. I don't know where I saw it but it can sometimes help if the strap is cutting into your ears or uncomfortable in another way.
If you want more wireless playtime, get a powerbank. Bonus points if you get a good size one (not too heavy or light) to strap to the back of your head to counterbalance. Also make sure it's at least 2.4amp.
Just a tip, just because you have the boundary set up doesn't mean you won't hit anything. Make sure to leave a gap in between the boundary and the wall/furniture. Additionally, MAKE SURE TO SET UP THE BOUNDRY AN ARMS LENGTH FROM ANY TV/COMPUTER MONITOR PERIOD. You do not want to be the guy/girl who smashes his or her fist through the family room tv or your own computer monitor.
You can also fine tune how and when the fence appears based of distance to and the speed you're approaching the boundary.
I wonder if Steveknows about this one?
Yeah actually, I bet Steveknows you should be careful around monitors while in VR...
I actually took got care of that but after all that I accidentally hit my god damn lamp cause Iam tall
Can someone help me, I've had the Quest 2 for a bit now and I've done all the updates but the 120Hz still doesn't show up, the calories option doesn't show either and the V31 new update on the look of universal menu doesn't show either. Is there a fix to this?
The bobovr m2 halo strap is comfy as heck.
im buying A quest tomorrow that's the strap im gunna get.
Thanks for the tips! I just ordered a Quest 2 when it came back in stock. I'm so excited to get into VR!
I am fairly new to Oculus Quest 2 but overall not new to VR itself. I have been using Valve Index since launch but have to say the quest 2, for my purpose, is better. Why? Because Wireless gaming.
Now to the recommendation. For everyone who is comfortable with the standard strap, as I am, but need a bit more of position secure for the back of your head I can easily recommend you a head back padding. I am using one from AMVR but there are surely more out there. It's a flimsy circular shaped strap which is mounted on the back of the standard strap. It's comfortable even if you want to sleep in VR since it's soft and flimsy.
Another recommendation: Buy a VR Headset stand and/or a Quest 2 suitcase. I for myself bought a suitcase just to protect it and put it away while I'm not playing VR.
A recommendation related to the controller: The batteries will last long enough but I recommend buying rechargeable once with a battery recharge station.
Software wise I recommend Virtual Desktop if you also want to play PCVR wirelessly. I tried the Oculus Airlink but couldn't get better or even the same performance and quality of it. Maybe it's just for my case.
Oh and another thing to say. Get a power bank. I was happy that I had one. I didn't noticed how the time passed until I got the warning of low battery.
With this I am done with recommending stuff. I am really happy with the Quest 2 and prefer it over the Index.
Have a good day/night and stay safe !
what is better virtual desktop or oculos link with cable
You can often clean paint from hitting walls off the controllers by getting a melamine sponge (often called a magic sponge). Wet the sponge a tiny bit before scrubbing lightly and then with more pressure until the paint releases.
Make sure to restart your qeust oftwn it helps with making sure you. Dont get any stuttering or lag in games it clears the headset cache
To go to in settings go to experimental settings and then go to Furniture in quick tap and then you can click on your furniture and map it out
Vr cover or kiwi design, the only thing that worries me about the vr cover is that it goes over the ring on the controll so it might mess up my thumb due to me fully lifting my thumb for some reason
The free VR cover from Oculus is nice, def worth the wait even if you haven't had irritation. My young nephew had a horrrrrrrible rash so I picked it up incase he drops by. Easier to sanatize.
Does is have the nose light blockers?
@@misero6130 nope form fitting over existing interface
Got the original Quest, you're really making me want a Quest 2, so many features, and finding a good headstrap for the Quest has been a nightmare of a chore. (Still looking)
I am very tempted to get a Quest 2, even if I have to sell my soul to Facebook. I meant privacy, not soul..
I have played a few times in my garden, at night time, around 11pm.. My quest also works in the dark, weirdly enough.. I am impressed of the durability of the controllers though, I've had it since 2019, bashed them against walls, the headset (don't ask) and eachother, and there's no damage, maybe a scratch or two.
I can agree, use wipes to clean the lenses, and if you have a way to keep your glasses away from the lenses, do it. My Quest's lenses are covered in scratches, curse my bad eyes.. :(
The thing about the headstrap is it cant be tight with out putting a very painful presure on your head because it doesnt have padding, its like putting a fat rubber band around your head, think of the rubber band and watermelon challenge just less extreme but thats what it feels like.
One tip I love is using one of those cheap velcro camera bags to fit basically any strap
Use a mat in the middle of your play space, this one i huge for me, it keeps you in the middle of your play space to you don’t end up drifting and hiring a wall or having your guardian pop up
silicone is better than pleather for a facial interface. this one of course is subjective but I have both and the pleather one slips down my face while the silicone one doesn't.
I use glasses in my vr but i have never scratched it nor my glasses, but i have used vr for like a year now so either i just cant find the scratches or overly protective.
Another quick tip! If your playing in your bed lean forward a little when your setting up your stationary boundary so you won’t get annoyed with the lines popping up whenever you go to move your hands
Quest 2 supports OTG? I bought a flash drive with USB C. Smartphone can see it. Quest 2 does not. It beeps something when I insert it but it does not see the drive, the same on the TotalCommander app.
I have mine since launch and am still using it like it came out of the box. If u have the money upgrade it, I didn't.
Only the realest remember the old unprivated video. Bless up 🙏
Tip. If you're playing vr for the first time and the only area you have for a playspace has hard non-carpeted floors. Wear shoes. When you're in vr standing still, you may not notice how much pain your feet will be in until you move your foot for the first time in 20 minutes.
because the quest uses a lithium ion battery if you over or under-charge the headset it can lower battery life.
Crap! Thank you I wondered about this and it was on my list to find an answer. Do you know appx how long (on average) it takes to go from 0 (dead) to 100%? I left mine plugged in over night last night and it occurred to me that was stupid as hell. Wouldn’t it be nice if an upgrade included a kind of “charging kill switch” so no matter how long you left the charger on it would kill once you hit 100%?
I might be in the minority, but I immediately returned my Elite Head Strap (I had pre-ordered it at launch). The base head strap is so much more comfortable to me than the Elite Strap. (For the Quest 1, I use a DAS, because it is more comfortable, but for Quest 2, stock head strap is great.)
Me wanting a vr headset since 2013 seeing the outro: I need a job
If u plug in the quest to a battery pack it will stop charging at 100 as the pack will stop sending power. At least mine does. You can use an ir blaster to play at night
u wanna use sand paper to clean lens it gets rid of scraches use the really scratchy type ;)
the thumb ipd thing is an amazing tip that i never heard omg tysm
I'm glad it could help you out! 😀
What is happening i saw it before and I pop up again, and i see the video I see is private
I swear I've seen the small white clip used on the side of the headset in this video. I want to find one and use it with my link cable. Where does it come from?
I’d say you nailed that. I just bought my 128GB Friday. Ya got me. 😆😆
