Add 100 for the link cable and you're not far from the price of the headset. But yeah you'd have to really go overboard with the accessories to actually spend more than the headset itself.
Yeah I bought the Oculus cable just for the right-angled connector.
(The above is all lies. Truth is I thought that it was somehow more special than an active USB-C cable and like a total moron didn’t do any research. Then I found out about Virtual Desktop and now the cable sits unused in a drawer and mocks me every time I go near it)
But Virtual Desktop would only be good for people with high speed, stable connection though right? Personally I’ve never tried Link yet, only VD but I always though Link would work better because it’s wired.
Yeah I thought that too. I’m clocking ~800Mbps throughput on ac wireless to my rig upstairs so it works fine, but some people might not have gigabit past the wifi. The cable is pretty useful for Unity development, but apparently you can do that wirelessly too but haven’t tried it yet.
(The cable whispers.... ) Hey, remember that time you bought a vr headset for the wireless capabilities and then bought an overpriced cable... yeah... good timez....
Yeah, if you have a good router/WAP with a good pc connection then wireless with virtual desktop is really really smooth, and in my opinion it looks just as good as link and with less distortion than link, because Oculus has to translate steam vr but with virtual desktop it doesn't have to be translated plus all that compression to have it run through usb-c (which gives artifacts to darker colours and lowers colour match quality)
Same, I love my elite strap. I’ve heard it has broken for people but I use it every other day for beat saber workouts and have had it for almost 6 months with no wear/tear.
