I have a lenovo explorer and a vive.
I highly advise you to get the wmr controllers as well as there is no way to buy one separately anymore.
Lenovo explorer is possibly the lightest WMR headset and worth the price. But it may not be suitable for every1.
The main concern to avoid is the fixed IPD (at 63mm) along with the narrow sweet spot.

Thanks unfortunately the only bundle with controllers are a used item. I never bought used electronic stuff so I'm quite skeptical to purchase one.

Thanks for the input I think I'm gonna hold the purchase since I can't find any cheaper entry to vr lol

actually i bought mine from amazon during no gst period. i got it for about 1.3k in total? It arrived without any issue. Amazon will settle custom tax on your behalf.
I ve sent mine back to warranty once, and amazon confirms the defect, they reimburse my return charges and deliver charges and FOC the delivery fee of the new set. which all in cost as much as the lenovo explorer itself. I honestly feel bad but i think their trying their best to penetrate our market.
The only time my electronic got stopped by amazon is a brand new laptop, which i need to pay RM100 to sirim for evaluation of specs (which is still way cheaper than buying it local.)

(edit: each malaysian human is allowed to import 12 times per year, to avoid abuse)

Unfortunately the first gen WMR has reached "product end of life" with many manufacturer stop producing them. only Acer and Samsung seems to be committed to WMR future.. for now..

have u considered other WMR? If i were to rebuy it, i may actually choose the Dell Visor. The right sided cable placement of the lenovo explorer is kind of annoying..  having these wires on the right does obstruct some games such as archery. Dell visor has theirs on the left side.

yeah im familiar since i frequently shop in amazon

other wmr that im eyeing for is samsung odyssey+ but of course thats way past my budget.

actually i think its more prudent to wait at least until valve releases their on hmd.

right now i think i'll settle with samsung gear vr for my note9 lol

Wait, because that's what I'm doing atm. Until there is a new Vive or Rift.
That isn't Quest, Pro, Pro Eye, Cosmos, Focus or any kinda of this  laugh.gif

Will definitely jump the gun for a Rift 2 or Vive 2, or whatever it's called  laugh.gif
For now happy with my PSVR, budget friendly solution.

Just now went 2 place to buy gear vr, all out of stock

Then I called several Samsung store, samsung the garden said dont buy because new gear VR will launch soon with s10 lol.

Guess I'm back to waiting.

Not sure why you want those. You can just get a cheap vr box that cost way way less with controller.
Also those are meh VR experience. Mobile VR aren't the same like a Vive, PSVR or Rift. The difference is night and day, quality wise, immersion and etc.

Want to watch YouTube/Netflix because they have official support right?
If buy cheap wmr now from Amazon for rm1.5k then few months later got new version rugi liao.

Hey. Don worry too much, vr sickness generally improves as tolerance develope. Like a first time kid riding a car.

When u said walking, do u mean physical walk or ingame push button to walk.

nausea feeling when videos moving, roller coasters and when need to push to walk in vr instead of teleporting (in vrchat)

QUOTE(Rei7 @ Mar 1 2019, 09:59 AM)
I don't have any issues with this, in any vr game types. But I have looked into it. You can try ginger remedy and see if it works. Just google ginger vr and read what others are talking about it. You can also take those motion sickness pills people use to ride boats and what not. It should at least help, outside of trying it till you get used to it. A lot of people I know got motion sickness as well, worse is games that is really fast moving, like racing games.

ginger ale can or not? lol

Ah thats pretty normal for new vr users. Personally i found adding a fast blowing fan into my face while using VR helps in these kind of motion sickness. Alternatively intentionally squinting eye while moving in vr does help.

Motion sickness occurs when what a person sees VS feel is diffrerent. The body assumes that it is sick and will try to purge. Mimicking the movement such as fast blowing wind and tense the eyes a lil (when we normally walk) can trick the body further.
Nevertheless most ppl have their own ways to overcome this and all would eventually develop tolerance to motion sickness.

i'll try the trick with ginger (ale lol) and fan. thanks for the recommonedation

As a long time Oculus Rift user, now owning an Odyssey+, I can really say the lens/display really very clear and nice. Really put me into a dilemma deciding which VR I like more.

I really like the Odyssey+ lens so much, but the headset is heavy and bulky compared to Oculus Rift.

Other than that, the Halo style headset isn't very comfortable for long session, alot of pressure on my forehead mainly due to weight distribution not ideal.

The the front part hangs from the halo style headstrap instead of being press and supported by my face, this made it wobble around if I shake my head too fast too hard.

The WMR controller plastic feels cheap.

But despite the above, I really fall in love with the display so much. I tried Vive, I own a Rift, but none of those can match Odyssey+ display. (Let's not include Vive Pro as the price is not comparable)

do you buy the vr cover? i just got it today and my nose area is not covered so i can see the outside below my nose

Just want to update you guys about my situation

B4 this i posted im having a nausea whenever using locomotion (walking in vr) using samsung gear vr.

Just now i played vrchat using locomotion with my new samsung odyssey+ no more feeling nausea. I played 1hour straight with skyrim also ok. I think 90hz screen really helps. But i still feel like going to fall whenever i walk too fast in vr.

To my surprise i never thought odyssey+ is blurry too. But its ok since theres not much but still visible sde
