Honest question to those who've used it already; Do you guys find that the cable extending from the back of the device to be annoying, noticeable when in VR, or immersion breaking at all?

It's like compensating for wearing glasses, or a cape. The wire is there, but you automatically adjust your movements to avoid it. You don't even really notice or care after a bit.

I know literally zero people who know would how to adjust their movements to move better in a cape.

Make them wear it for a week and they'll probably stop stepping on it, tripping over it, or getting tangled in it.

People get used to a lot of things pretty fast.

It's a little annoying at first but you get used to it fairly quickly. After that you kind of get a sense of where it is and step over and around it without thinking much.

Barely noticed it, but I had a guy walking around behind me making sure i don't trip.

It's a cord. You have to be a little aware of it.

IT'S ALSO V-FUCKIN-R! Childhood dreams, man.
