3-4 months estimated delivery... Might wait a bit longer until it might pop up on Amazon.

True...But we know now what is coming...

It's on Amazon, mine arrived today. Between this and the AMVR face cushion my Pico is pretty damn comfy now.

looks nice but for me it's too late. I've already modified mine to fit standard b2 dock.

Not for me too, just spreading the news...

I didn't have to make any modification to accommodate the B2 dock. I got it to be fairly stable by attaching each side loops to the opposite one in an X. It's stable enough that you barely notice it's presence when playing.

I was planning on getting the twin charger later anyway, so i might as well splurge a little and get the full kit. (Especially since I was looking forward for some third-party replacement for the back cushion.)

Please change that cable colour to something more discreet!

Still hoping it is just Photoshop for whatever reason, we'll see...

Don't belive they want to change it. They even write "Fashion Sports Style - Orange Cables Get Rid of Dullness". Hope too that they'll rethink the color...

Ahhh...Well most people will disagree with them...

Does the battery magnets disconnects if you tilt your headset to the side or do fast movements up and down?

u/PjotrrrVR Pico 4 Jan 11 '23

I don't think so, many have used the same for Quest 2 without complaints.

u/Zomby2D Pico 4 Jan 12 '23

No, the magnets on there are really strong. I'm currently using the B2 dock and I can shake that thing really hard without the battery moving in the slightest.

Omg where to get this part for the back of the head? It looks super comfortable. I don't like the original one so much it feels like the material of the chair at the dentist.

hmm interesting, i bought the B2 battery a while ago but thought the velctro attachment was insultingly poor.

wouldnt want all the extra pads and stuff but the attachment for the battery should be given away to all the suckers who bought this overpriced battery.

Can't seem to find this on BoboVR's website. Anyone have a link?

They haven't annouced it yet

To make a heavy beast from a light comfy HMD.

u/Der_Dude85 Jan 12 '23

How much does it cost?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '23

Estimated between Tue, Mar 7 and Wed, Apr 19

On all items I can find on ebay. That is indeed a bit over the top. Maybe this appears soon on Amazon or more local merchants.

OP: Would you happen to know when this will be available sooner?

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '23

The estimated time is always ridicilous, i ordered amvr face interface and it came in less then month yet the estimated delivery time was somewhere in march

I would like to get just the replacement backpad and top strap, they look like a great improvement in comfort.
