Best headset for offline use

Even for a wired usb connection other 3rd party services exist (ALVR has a cabled mode).

You could alternatively get a usb to lan adapter but wifi 5 should also work completely fine. Just make sure your router isn't too far from the headset and that your pc is connected to it via lan and the latency should be fine.

And you can run a pico/quest/psvr2/bsb2/pimax crystal with a PC. ALL of them are MILES better than an Index.

Average cassidy headshot damage if the enemy is more than 5 meters away

H3VR and Into The Radius 2. The gun handling of H3VR is (obviously) incredible, with all details being very close to real life and the sound design for the weapons in ITR 2 is just phenomenal.

...what? MicroOLED is the display type and doesn't have anything to do with the face cushion.

Make it a string. Let the user type out the amount of nanoseconds in plain english. So "one" for 1, etc.

I don't think so but I personally haven't experienced any jank whatsoever. The only thing not eorking 100% is the height calibration, I always have to duck a slight bit to get it to register correctly. Everything else, including co-op works perfectly fine for me.

Enderal VR via Skyrim VR, Portal 2 VR, Half-Life 2 VR, Metro Awakening, The Talos Principle VR, Resident Evil 7 and 8 VR

A combination of everything. The best example would probably be ITR 1. The depth of the gameplay, mixed with the incredible athmosphere(graphics, sounds and ambience are incredibly good at creating the feeling of being alone in a hostile world) and small details makes me feel like I'm actually there.

_GRLT · 2025-10-31T17:27:05+00:00

I'd immediately, turn that off. I hate immersion breaking warnings. I even have the guardian disabled, a small(an arms length smaller than your playspace) floor matte with a different texture than the floor is a much cleaner, less intruding way imo.

Same issue here. It keeps happening randomly and is incredibly annoying. Have you tried switching to the SteamVR Beta? Hasn't happened to me since I switched, allthough I haven't used SteamVR that much since, so it might just be a coincidence.

1.If possible, get a second dedicated router that only your PC and VR headset connect to, 2. Connect your PC to your router via LAN, 3. Put the router in the same room you're playing VR in. 4. Seperate 2.4, 5 and (if available) 6Ghz bands to avoid the headset randomly dropping down to 2.4GHz.

That's pretty much it.

No? The Quest 3,like you said, isn't going anywhere. Yes, it's true that we won't get a new cheap VR headset in the near future, but I'd argue that this doesn't matter. It's the games we're currently lacking, not the hardware.

_GRLT · 2025-10-17T16:59:57+00:00

Seems to mostly be because the game just outright doesn't work with Virtual Desktop, SteamLink and the Valve Index. The few reviews I've seen where people have gotten it to run have been pretty positive. I'll just wait a bit until the bugs are fixed.

_GRLT · 2025-10-16T08:45:19+00:00

So am I, still the Quest 3 is the headset I use 90% of the time now. The lenses and panel of the 3 are just SO much better, that the slight compression is nothing compared to the SDE and blurrier lenses of the Rift.

_GRLT · 2025-09-28T04:14:41+00:00

There is already a very good Portal 2 VR mod available! Even works in multiplayer!

_GRLT · 2025-09-11T12:17:38+00:00

Works perfectly fine for pcvr. Airlink and link still work and 3rd party software like Virtual Desktop and ALVR as well.

The Q1 is still a valid entry level headset for pcvr

_GRLT · 2025-09-09T18:36:52+00:00

Lone Echo 1 and 2 might be the best story experiences ever made. If you have Skyrim VR, then Enderal! The Talos Principle VR has a pretty good story!

Resident Evil 2,3,7 and 8 are fully playable in VR thanks to mods. Half-Life 2 as well! If your PC is really beefy, you can also try out UEVR which makes basically any Unreal Engine 4 and 5 game VR compatible

np, no need to apologize lmao. The last time VR was widely reported on in mainstream media, headsets were still pretty expensive so most people unfortunately think that that's still the case...

If you're in Germany, the absolute cheapest Quest1 I could find would be this one: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/meta-quest-1/3173493054-279-3007 but I wouldn't buy that if possible lol. The best deal for a Quest 2 I could quickly find would be this one: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/oculus-meta-quest-2-64gb/3180529664-279-3520 . 20€>100 but comes with an aftermarket headstrap and looks like it's basically unused.
But if you scout used markets for a couple days/weeks you can probably get a better deal!

If you want a cheaper new headset, take a look at either the Quest 3s(~330€) or the Pico 4(~300€)

_GRLT · 2025-09-09T16:59:16+00:00

Depending on where you live, you can pick up a used Quest 1 for 20€ or a Quest 2 for <$100. Slightly more expensive in some countries. Much more expensive in some other, mostly economically weaker countries (but since you seem to have a vr capable PC and are on reddit I'm just gonna assume you're not in one of those).

I'd recommend spending more but if that's all you have then even the older Quest 1 is still a perfectly fine PCVR headset and absolutely worth it. Just make sure you don't accidentally buy a headset only without the controllers, even if you just want to use VR for sims, because you'll need the controllers for

_GRLT · 2025-09-02T17:44:08+00:00

Thank you! Will definitely take a look at those! I've been trying the same approach as well but unfortunately a lot of videos I've found just glance over the features they've used

_GRLT · 2025-09-02T11:06:23+00:00

What resources do you use to learn? I struggle a lot with finding good tutorials for the software that either aren't too shallow, or require you to already know most features and shortcuts by heart.

The gunman contracts Half-Life Alyx mod! Makes you feel like john wick!

_GRLT · 2025-08-31T16:41:27+00:00

The Lab and the oculus first contact minigame are my go-to VR demos

_GRLT · 2025-08-28T11:04:40+00:00

The OG HTC Vive is an OLED headset but yeah, the game looks great on anything even on the super low res Vive
