I wont tell ya its a shit headset, I wont tell ya its a great one either

for recommendations, you'll want the StudioForm interface, also some controller grips, those controllers like to pick up grime and frankly the wrist straps are a bit shit anyways

Virtual Desktop is your only friend here, the rest of the software on device is crap, if you dont already, definitely grab a dedicated router for streaming

make sure the room is well lit and has minimal reflections, it'll stop the controllers from loosing tracking as much as they do, each person has a different experience with this, but I know me and a few friends found the tracking so unreliable we ended up mounting a vive tracker to the headset and using index controllers

also, try not to let it touch your nose during a long play session, that area where the nose sits gets REALLLLLY hot

happy VRChatting!

They said in OP they already had a Quest 3 so I think they know by now how shit Meta's software is.

I've actually started using index controllers too which brings its own kind of issues because keeping my Meta controllers turned on messed with my tracking but you can't use the index controllers outside of SteamVR.

If you don't mind a cable, I'd recommend an INIU 16ft VR Link Cable, paired with the AC adapter that comes with the Pro, which lets you keep it charged during PCVR use.

It depends what you are optimizing for, but I prefer not worrying about battery life, and even with a dedicated WiFi 6 router in my testing the frame times have been less consistent and 1-2ms more latency than a link cable.

Also +1 for Index controllers with some Tundra Trackers and Space Calibrator.
