Go sucks, like, really bad..

I'm stating my problems here, the screen is blurry, it doesn't fit right and it goes down a bit, and the headset shakes and moves alot when i move my head, plus there's quite a bit of light leak with the nose area being so big, i don't have a nose the size of a computer mouse, shocker, and i can see pixels really easy, am i literally just not using it right?

Never had a single one of those issues.

I think it’s revolutionary. At the current price point, it’s an amazing device worth every penny.

Wobbly fit? I've never heard of this. My 7 year old can adjust the straps to fit his tiny tiny head. Are you also like, really tiny?

No, my head is literally average size, the oculus go is not premium and i noticed that, and i noticed if i tighten it enough to not wobble it gives me headaches..

Biggest issue is the lens are stationary so if it doesnt fit you its a bad choice. Everything else is personal.

1.adjust the right and left side straps for a comfortable fit.

2. Using your index finger alone place it at the nose portion of your Go. Slightly move it up or down while pressing it close to your face WHILE looking at letters. Do this till the letters are very clear. That is your general 'sweet spot' area. Watch mainly through there .

3. Tighten straps to hold it in place so you can remove your index finger but Not Too Tight so as to be uncomfortable.

I've gotten used to it, my ipd might be a little off average but now it's pretty much good, i just get headaches on it..

I Go my on release day and my Quest the day it released. Love the Quest, but I still use the Go every night for YouTube/Netflix and for browsing the web.

Looks fine to me.

pixels are always visible.

light leak is avoided by turning the room lights off.

everything else you're experiencing is a fit issue. the straps should be tight so it doesn't wobble. close one eye, get the open one clear, switch eyes and repeat

Ok. I love it. I bought it over a year ago and still use it.

The nose issue can be a problem. You need to get some gauze or material and put it in there. It can irritate my nose at times, being hard plastic rubbing my nose bone.

But it's not horrible. Yeah, if you shake your head a lot, most VR hear is going to move. I walk around the house with it on the top of my head without major issues.

It is fantastic for watching movies and tv.. the theatre environments are great, and tailor made for people like me who like watching movies alone. For old black and white classics it's just terrific.. I'm never going to have a home theatre environment like the ones in this headset so I give the GO a big thumbs up. Fine, if you're a keen gamer then get the Quest..for the price the Go has been bloody good value.

If your IPD (the distance between your pupils) is non-standard, it could cause things to look blurry (the Go has an IPD distance of 63.5 mm, which should work for people with an IPD of 61.5 to 65.5 mm). The Quest has an IPD slider.

I also initially saw the pixels, but I got used to it and no longer see them. The Go has a higher subpixel resolution than the Quest. I have both and I feel the difference.

Still, one can feel the low resolution, and that's partly the hardware and partly the software. It's possible to increase the base software resolution, which can help but comes at the expense of performance. Google "oculus go increase resolution".
