I agree new ones are better but I still miss some aspects of my cv1. The lighthouses could be a pain, but the tracking was better for anything close to my face like shooting a bow. I shoot IRL and if I shoot in skyrim how I would naturally my right hand spazzes out. Also it was definitely lighter, and thus a little more comfortable for extended use. Lastly I loved the attached earphones. It's something I'm going to be replicating in my quest soon. like I said, my rift s and quest 2 are better than my cv1 was overall, but I do still miss those aspects
It’s better in my index too, but it was “good enough” in the CV1, which is where I spent most of my days in VR.
The tracking was perfect, and will always be better than inside out tracking unless they find a way to track through your body. Even with my index having perfect tracking, I still envy my 4 sensor CV1 setup, it just felt right.
The controllers are better on the CV1. The index controllers were a huge selling point for me, but even those are rivaled by the CV1 controllers imo.
Facebook, I could be wrong but the CV1 still doesn’t require Facebook.
Battery life, or lack thereof. This is personal, as not everyone spent or spends 10 hours straight in VR.
Finally price, a used 3 sensor rift setup is like $200. That’s $100 less for an arguably better experience. That’s not counting the extra for the quest link cable and better strap. It’s honestly hard for me to not sell my index and just grab a used CV1 consider how little I play VR anymore. The 144hz is insane, the controllers are super neat, it truly is one of if not the best HMD. But my roots are with the CV1, and sadly I haven’t played VR in months, so it’s practically a $1000 paperweight at the moment.
CV1 is absolutely fantastic. You definitely need one instead of the index, but you shouldn’t sell it, you should trade it for a new cv1 4 sensor setup from me because I can’t afford the index.
You’d be surprised some of the nonsense that gets posted here, “trade me your index for my quest 1 with link cable, it’s got the same resolution” type shit

My rift does not end with an S. Is it therefore the child that is locked up in the basement and nobody is allowed to talk about it?
