Is it because Oculus Home can launch games downloaded from Steam.
Haven't tried it yet but can SteamVR launch games downloaded from Oculus store?

Anyway, the same game on Steam (using MYR) is priced cheaper than on Oculus store (using USD) so unless its Oculus exclusive game, better buy on steam.

What I read is there're reason why those cheap WMR are cheap. Samsung Odyssey WMR is also WMR but is not as as cheap as the Acer/Lenovo WMR counterpart. From reviews, the main factor that made it cheap is the screen. Example, cheap WMR have smaller screen (Acer WMR only 2.9" compared to Samsung's 3.5").

at 300 myopia, u definitely need to wear glasses when using VR.

Unless the glasses you're using is very big (as in the frame), else you can easily wear glasses when using the Vive. I have no problem using VR (Vive or Oculus Rift) with glasses.

Face pads as in replacement for Vive's cushion or you looking for those white thin disposable mask sheet?

Apart from Oculus Rift, I'm also supplying Oculus Rift replacement face cushion(may or may not fit onto your Vive) as well universal VR disposable face mask.

In case anyone wanna replace their Oculus Rift's foam padding



PU Leather Foam for Oculus Rift

Still looking for VR center to try out Samsung Odyssey.

Since its the PSVR style headset and it doesn't press against the face
- because different people have different head/face shape, will there be light leak? will it be wobbly when move around alot?

Controller use 2 batteries each side, meaning total 4 batteries, that's double of what Oculus Touch need.
- how is the battery life?

Not all desktop have Bluetooth 4.0 to support the controllers
- would a cheap and regular USB bluetooth adapter (those RM10/RM20 ones) work?

thanks for the input, this is from your own personal experience?

Vive officially launched in Malaysia.

Priced at RM2,999. Sold via Lazada, 11street, and Shopee. Will be shiped out from 9 Nov onwards.



Vive Pro is coming soon too, according to LYN report, it's priced at RM6,099. *faint*

There's pros and cons for both but, here's some plus point for Rift compared to Vive

- cheaper (even with 3 sensors still cheaper)
- removable batteries (no worries about battery life deterioration when aged)
- lighter and more ergonomic controllers
- smaller, simpler and lighter headset, smaller and simpler means better looking too (subjective)
- headset cable simpler than Vive
- comes with built in earphone (Vive have to add on another RM500)

And since I'm selling Oculus Rift, if you ever want to try out demo, you can contact me. Atleast you can see how insignificant the difference of tracking quality is between Rift and Vive.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

just to add, the playarea guide based on the picture attached is on the conservative/safe side.

I've managed to set up playarea of 7' x 7' with just 2 sensor.

shopee and lazada got but not ready stock ma, dunno need to wait how many weeks only arrive, nobody help them claim warranty if anything too.

To add on, I'm not just selling product and disappear

wait black friday la, i do promotion hahahaha

Went to an Esport event at APU, beat saber competition organised by Kitamen.

Seems like Vive may not be a good VR for long hours public demo use.

The controller need to be charged, meaning halfway through they'll need to charge the controllers and the VR is basically unplayable until its charged.

So unless they have another pair of controller, can't use Vive for continuous long hours use. Unlike just swapping out used battery for Oculus Touch controllers.

mostly no, but best to ask the seller, or just get it from seller who have it locally.

Try all before u decide. Deciding from technical specs and online review can only do so much, so best if u can try it out for yourself then you'll know which one you're more comfortable with.

There's no perfect VR at the moment, each have pros and cons.

For sure, PSVR is the cheapest way to get into VR gaming, that's the reason why PSVR is the highest contributor of VR user.

So, if you're emphasising on best value for money VR? Definitely is the cheapest VR, the PSVR. But if you rather go for PC, then Oculus Rift or WMR are both the cheaper option when compared to HTC Vive.

If end of the day you decide on Oculus Rift, you're welcome to get it from me, I'm a local seller with physical dealer at lowyat plaza and provide warranty as well.

Oh ya, I'm on GTX 1060 3GB and I wear specs too, didn't face any issue.

easy question to ask yourself, are u more of a console gamer or PC gamer? Don't think about VR, just think now, without VR, which one u spend more time with.

no need custom rift glasses, the only reason its difficult to wear is because frame too big. Getting a smaller frame glasses is cheaper than buying those custom rift glasses.

remember, wear the rift like a gas mask rather than like a hat, ie. put ur eye into the headset first only pull down the strap from behind, not put the strap over your head first only push down the headset.

Tomorrow there'll be Beat Saber Tournament at Mid Valley The Rift.

Apart from that, I'm also supplying Oculus Rift to be used for tomorrow and Sunday's Education Fair at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.

Anyone interested to try out Oculus Rift can come visit Mid Valley Education Fair tomorrow and Sunday.

sorry late update.

the oculus rift is available for public to try out at Saito College booth in Mid Valley Exhibition Centre Education Fair.

Few questions to ask yourself:

1. Do you want additional accessories upgrade?
Yes - HTC Vive
No - Oculus Rift

2. How big you plan to set up your play area?
Small, below 8ft x 8ft - Oculus Rift is almost 1/3 cheaper
Big - Oculus Rift is about RM500 cheaper, but HTC Vive more popular for this segment - you decide
Very Big - HTC Vive

3. What is your PC specs?
Low/Mid Spec GTX960/1050Ti - Oculus Rift Asynchronous Spacewarp(ASW) helps smoothen framerates even on lower spec PC
High Spec GTX1070/1080 - Both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift same - you decide

4. Have you tried both? Its recommended to experience the tracking, headset comfort, headphone sound, controller ergonomics and gesture, level of screen door effect, level of god rays etc. before you decide as reading/watching online reviews can sometimes be quite contradicting.

5. Laser sensor vs Constellation(camera) sensor, is it huge difference? Just as no.4 above, go try it out to and you'll find out whether worth the extra buck
