Valve Index Full VR Kit (Latest Release) (Includes Headset, Base Stations, & Controllers)

Scalper

Well heres the thing it was good for like 3 days and then it quit working for my pc. It would work and then quit ...work and then quit...and then all of a sudden no more. So i gave it to my friend in germany instead.

just helping out by 1-staring a scalper

I bought via Steam for $999, not from Amazon for $1600. But I dont see anywhere to leave a review for it in Steam, so here I am. The headset is SMALL. If you have a big head, you will be in pain within 30 minutes of putting it on. It does not seal to my face AT ALL. I lasted an hour before I had to quit from the pain. The IPD is also quite limited. As for the actual in-game experience... honestly, its like playing flat with head tilts. I just dont get whats so great about VR anymore, and I cant believe this is supposed to be the best-in-class.

Selling it for 2-3 times the price. BUY FROM VALVE/STEAM.

The system is great. The display is super clear, frame rate is great (albeit, I have a powerful system running it). Tracking is spot on, and new features and updates are offered regularly. My friend has an oculus, and his always has connectivity issues, but I have had little to none of that. I am writing this review, because the customer support through steam is awesome. I messaged them about a base station that had a problem, and they immediately responded with tracking information on a replacement and instructions on how to send back my faulty unit. There was no back and forth of troubleshooting, because I mentioned I tried all of the troubleshooting available on the website. Also, no back and forth on if I dropped it or damaged it. I was just amazed that they were so johnny on the spot with providing me a fix for my issue that cost me exactly $0.00. I dont know if you get that same level of support buying it third party, but I wanted to do what I could to support a hardware company that is so good at customer support. Buy directly from steam anyways: its cheaper, and I got mine within 3 days of ordering. I dont mean to damage the Amazon sellers business, but if you do buy from here, make sure the manufacturer warranty stays in tact.

2400$ should be ashamed.

I enjoyed using the VR headset. Most of my time however was spent waiting for restarts and debugging. This product is supposed to officially support Linux, but Valves VR interface hardly works and is an honestly pathetic attempt if you can call it an attempt at all. Shame on Valve for acting like this product works on Linux.

I have the headset.. colors are decent and controllers are best in class, but dont support someone selling it for 2x+ the price. Nuts

Do not buy this unless you cant buy it from Valve on Steam in your country. Even then though... Its only $1000 USD on steam. You get a known good headset with full warranty support and the game Half Life: Alyx. No questions asked.
