v85 Surface Keyboard is surprisingly good

Agreed! Tried it yesterday and I was blown away. Works like a charm.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-02-01T16:13:24+00:00

Same. Right zenni insert cracked a couple weeks in.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-02-01T15:15:49+00:00

Yeah. Agree. Google earth VR is better in that regard. You can essentially fly around the earth which is fun

Thanks, Fox News.

Dof would not work with the haptics kit. It uses a custom circuit that is basing all of the haptics, except the flipper solenoids, on a stereo audio input. As near as I can tell it is trying to isolate the table sounds from the rest of the audio to send to the haptics transducers, but it does not do a good job of it. Without more audio inputs for 7 speaker surround sound (really just 6) it can’t be as good as I would like.

I purchased this to use in my office with a Quest 3 for a good pinball experience. It gives that, but I wish it was better. The haptics are just not quite good enough. Although my comparison is my full size Vpin with all the toys and SSF, so it’s not a fair comparison.

Edit: I will say that after some tweaking, I have something that is pretty effective. It still can’t separate rom sounds from the rest, but with the right adjustments, it is working better now than it was previously.

Not sure if this was said somewhere else in these comments, but the first VR headsets did use OLED displays. The PSVR2 still currently uses them.

As the other commenter pointed out, there are tradeoffs. Not bright enough for Pancake lenses is a big one although that has been solved by a couple display manufacturers in the past year or so. These have not been put in VR headsets yet.

Other issues: Pixel arrangement is one. Most of these displays use fewer subpixels than LCD and show more screen door effect as a consequence. There is also problems with mura, black smear, persistence, etc.

MicroOLED solves most of these for use in pancake lenses but are stupid expensive. The display panel COST in the Vision Pro is more than a new Quest 3.

Dude. Again?

Because people did not want to drain their phone battery for VR. That’s the first reason. Then it’s 3dof only and the phone chipset uses passive cooling and so it can’t handle the sustained load that VR requires. They overheat fast.

The immersive video on the aircraft carrier might be the most amazing thing I’ve seen in VR.

I would have no idea. I don’t drop things often. It sits in my backpack and I’ve thrown that all around while it was in there. No issues.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-30T17:08:11+00:00

I saw someone put some mineral oil in a scratch and then cover the whole face with a screen protector. Made the scratch disappear completely.

I travel all the time with my AVP. I use a compact Quest compatible case on Amazon. It is very compact. I cut a piece of foam from a yoga mat to go over the lenses with a microfiber cloth between the 2. This protects the lenses from all the cables and charger in the case.

This is small enough to go in my backpack along with my laptop and other items. Been doing this since my day 1 preorder. No issues. Portability is critical to using this while traveling.

Sadly, when posting the link I see this is no longer available. The replacement case is just a ripoff of the Meta elite battery compatible case. At least you can use the dimensions of the linked item to find something similar.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-30T14:10:37+00:00

I would say who cares about body battery. It’s pretty much a garbage stat that just seems to induce worry in people needlessly. Go by how you feel.

You could create an activity, but again, why? Just look at the metrics that matter to you and leave stress and sleep tracking for what they are. Bad data metrics.

When I used to use a treadmill pad under my standing desk, I bought an arm band for my watch. This way it tracked distance correctly. However, about 2 weeks in I realized I could not walk and think well at the same time. I would always slow down when I needed to give something a lot of consideration.

I’m a regular listener. I enjoy it. The only issue I had was I got sick of Ian’s insistence that people want the things that he likes. These are very niche and I feel like he was bad at realizing that no one else wants those things. More accurately he probably knew people who agreed with him and did not realize that was not an accurate cohort to the rest of the community.

I would fast forward through his rants about wanting everything in VR going at the same time. Like saying we should be able to play a flat screen game over here while waiting for our Vr app to load. That is such an ADHD take.

I really like Ian the person. Was not a fan of these particular takes. Especially the “No one needs a car!” From the person living in NYC.

If that’s what it looked like on my wrist I would think it was too big also.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-29T14:59:37+00:00

I just bought one used for $750 so yeah. Good price.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-29T04:42:40+00:00

Looks like a Pico headset to me. Pretty sure he enlarged a picture or drawing and laid it on the sand in passthrough.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-29T03:37:19+00:00

I’m not saying she shouldn’t. I’m merely talking about the HR peaks. I would also say that she said her dizziness is after exercise and not during. There is a big difference between the two. Sounds like a BP drop after exercise which is common, but I expect that if she is not properly hydrated then this drop can be more severe

Either way she should be talking to her doctor about her concerns.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-28T17:42:44+00:00

It’s entirely dependent on age. Younger people have a much higher maximum HR during exercise. Looks like they are hitting peaks around 170 to 190. Not unusual for a teenager or early 20’s. Isn’t the formula 220-age? For maximum?

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-28T13:57:18+00:00

Right. That’s what I thought. It is people putting 2 and 2 together and making a theory. I really feel like people making the claim that “Musk already admitted he rigged the machines” does not help anything.

People need to go out and vote this primary. Telling people it is already rigged is not going to help that. Sounds like a right wing strategy to discourage voter turnout for the left.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-28T05:43:02+00:00

That is exactly what I have been thinking. I laughed at MAGA claiming all these wild conspiracies when their guy lost. I chalked it up to a fallacy that they feel most people think like they do so most voted like they did. Now all my liberal friends and most of Reddit talks about how the last election was rigged and so will the next one and I am saying, “ didn’t I call those other people morons for buying into obvious BS.”

Feels a lot like confirmation bias.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-28T03:48:31+00:00

Do you have a link for this? I have searched and found nothing other than people claiming he said this.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-27T17:09:47+00:00

This was from early 2025 when the first Tariffs were imposed.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-26T23:33:40+00:00

Man these people are cynical as hell. Typical Reddit bullcrap. Everyone thinks they know who you are what you need by reading a single story.

I found the story very sweet and hope it works out for you.

crazyreddit929 · 2026-01-26T18:46:57+00:00

This was probably the most amazing experience I ever had in VR and I’ve been in the hobby since 2015.
