Quest 2 just got released last week.
anyone tried the Quest 2? how was it?

planning to get a VR headset someday.
a lot of models aside from Quest 2 but not sure which one to get.
any good recommendations? no specific budget.

Updated: Thread moved to hardware club. More relevant and convenient.

but need FB account..

ohh okay.
so it has its own game store then.

i mostly will be playing off on Steam, so will purchase the link cable also.
not sure why they sell this as a separate item.

make sure u hv fb account

brb buying for VR prawn owaiiii

dis is the future

without pc, the standalone game it self is not that bad. there are fun games, but of course the graphic is phone level quality,

got friend create new fb acc for vr, he also create some asset in vr

Ayam haven't touch my Microsoft MR headset over 1 months. Too busy to play beat saber nowadays.

thinking of 1 day setting up a racing rig, wonder how it looks with VR, some say the resolution is mediocre while some say trade off the immersion felt much better. wonder anywhere that we could exprience the headset.

i own quest 1
quest 2 more speed, high fps, lighter than quest 1 but cheaper than quest 1
but quest 1 use oled while quest 2 using LCD
u can play standalone or connect to PC (not potato PC) using oculus link n play vr game from steamVR

quest 1 price is 399USD while quest 2 price 299USD

Where you buy from?

Amazon
$299.00 + $115.69 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Malaysia Details

$299.00 + $40.23 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Singapore Details




Watch the video, the guy played Wireless, even went inside his car to test LOL. Link cable might not be necessary, you can purchase 3rd party cables for cheaper also.

Most reviews recommend the Elite Strap.

^ VR related thread

Some of them imported from Amazon JP, seems cheaper that way.
I'd really wish Oculus would start selling directly in Msia

Still using HTC Vive VR, too expensive to change to another one

get real vr like valve index or vive la

i dunno how good the tracking is but confirm not gonna be as good as those with external trackers

Nope the graphic is spectacular. I tried robo recall last night, amazing.

Also i am using rift before, quest 2 is such an upgrade that i am so happy i made that purchase

ok ty. will set that up as well

thanks for the details.
quest 2 looks very promising indeed.
the oled vs lcd part, i never try oled/lcd for VR before.
i assume LCD looks better?

i'm at Malaysia.
i'm thinking of buying it off from Lazada vendor at first.
but it seems amazon one is a lot cheaper. what the heck!

thanks! i will check it out
yeah, or at least to SG. that will be close enough

i wanted to get valve index at first but first time VR, dont wanna spend so much yet.
later cannot ngam play VR, sure regrets.

how is HTC Vive for you?
which model are you using?

Apparently they have issues with drivers, from what I red from Reddit, where Oculus require you to register in order to get drivers. Seems like a f*cked up business model to me.

You have the Quest 2 now? How is watching shows or movies on Quest 2?

can watch porn?

Movie depends on the quality of video
I watch some 360 movie its a bit pixelated probably because low quality

I watched trailer of freddie kugar 3d video is quite realistic that i close the video asap

Havent tried watching movie that oculus stream at bigpicture yet

But for games i guarantee you quality is awesome coming from cv1. No more screen door, god rays and i like the black just fine. But if you came from quest 1 you'd probably hate the lcd.

Received mine on 17th.. Bought from amazon.. Highly suggest you bought the Elite strap together.. I bought these two for around RM1800 directly from amazon.. shipping only took 4 days

The 360 movies are very pixelated. I thought there's something wrong with my IPD

No workaround for it eh?

UPS izzit? Mine ship by DHL arrived after 7 days even though i bought priority shipping

Quality depends on the recorder gadget..
No workaround unless you find 8k videos?

Ya UPS.. I select the cheapest option

I thought the priority was 2-3 days?

i bough one, havent tried yet. Busy on work project. I hope FB dont ban me once i link up with Oculus Apps

The first model, still usable but it is outdated due to pixels when you zoom / look deep if we compare it to yours

Should be so i shoot amazon an email and get my refund of $41 and free $30 credits

You bought from Amazon Japan or US? Didn't get the battery pack?

I worry just like you but my fb profile was made years ago and didnt kena ban after merge. So make sure your acc is in good standing before merging

saving up for one. but mostly xde stock lagi.

Ts i watched movies at bigpicture and it was awesome
Feels like watching at the cinema and the 3ds movie even better
But if you watch the stream from public host most of them are pixelated like watching 420p

awesome! man, really looking forward to getting it.
placed order, currently waiting restock

You bought it from Amazon JP or Us?
Might to share the Amazon link?
Thanks

Amazon US.
Here's the link bro..

Hey can I know will the government tax me for import fees for this? i just ordered one from Amazon as well

Last time i bought it Amazon take deposit for this purpose. Jabatan Kastam categorize it as "Headphone" and the tariff is 10%

Wow i see thanks! Hopefully i get charged as headphone as well hehe.

strangely i did not get charged for import fees/tax deposit except shipment fees when u ordered the Quest 2

Bought already but no time to play yet.
I heard can sideload thru sidequest and play games wirelessly thru virtual desktop. Im gonna try and see if it works

Are you guys using it as a standalone device or do you also have a powerful gaming pc?

Other than occasionally booting up HL Alyx thru pc, I would say most of the time I'm using it as stand alone.
It's just so convenient to booting up and playing games in less than a minute.

Want to ask, did your Quest 2 got the latest update v23 yet? Read somewhere that I can just sideload the update to unlock 90hz but don't want to risk anything happening to mine for now.

Thanks for the answer. Do you need to sideload any firmware to be able to play steam games like alyx?

Ya, just updated yesterday, but i did the 90hz unlock since day 1. No issues so far (hopefully).

Nah, No need sideloading for steam VR. You just need the oculus dekstop and steam vr running at the same time. Its pretty straight forward and easy to figure out.

its in my wishlist..

planned to play Phasmophobia laterr

oh I haven't update yet.
didnt know about the 90hz unlock, will check it out. thanks

do we still need to use the link cable for loading steam VR?

i am so tempted to buy via amazon.. local seller are selling it way overpriced..

such headset.... must be accompany by a 18sx games....

any recommendation

Yeah same i just ordered it via amazon after comparing to local prices where its like RM2k

i took expedited shipping since november 5 and it says its expected to ship in november 16 and the wait is killing me

bought already

now my eyes are fcuked

any screen i see is like curved and popping out

i blame the vids i was watching

wanted a Valve Index
but...

First time setup a cable link is required. Then you have the option for wireless pcvr using virtual dekstop (require 5ghz modem).

now when i want to unlock developer mode follows the steps until was ask to ask credit card detail, wtf...
using usb link oculus app detect my headset but sidequest not detecting .

Problem with Quest 2 is still

- Front Heavy even with head straps
- Require FACEBOOK to run
- Require battery for controller

Im going to get Pimax with 200° FOV

how much dif? i think got ready stocks at impulse gaming

still using my oculus go

ok will look into it
thanks a lot

check my previous reply its about 299+34 usd which is about rm 1400 im not sure the government will charge me import taxes yet though but i dont wanna spend extra rm 1/4th of price from local retail

How much did you pay for customs?
I just put in my order through Amazon as well and got the same price as you did.

Wanted. But wait till i got money in 10 more years

if not wrong, however much you pay on amazon will be the final price (incl of import tax/customs/whatever fees). it was like that for my case.

if not urgent, can wait few more years, they sure will come out with better models

anyone tried udang hub in VR? hnngh experience or not?

Was it always that cheap to buy it from amazon directly? When I checked last month I think it was more than a 100 usd for shipping alone.

Cuba tgk local seller sell how much, second seller at fb letting it go at rm1600 coz muntah2 motion sickness

Shoppee the cheapest rm1900 i think

Amaxon on the other hand




Im still waiting for mine to arrive. So long coz got no stock.


Attached thumbnail(s)

I don't mind waiting longer if it let's me save a few hundred RM.

But I've read online about some ppl who have lens issues. Fov so bad that only objects directly in front are clear. Let's say if we get a lemon unit, can refund from Amazon? International refund troublesome or not?

I hope i will encounter that. No warranty but within 7 days can return

What is ur current delivery date estimate?

Did it get delayed?

Here's mine

estimate tomorrow. got today. citylink hantar.


ordered 8 november btw. no stock. i think what matter is the day they shipped. mine on 27 november.

Some forumers bought it from Amazon JP. Super fast arrival, i think very few tax. Oh and it's cheaper.

Here's the thread:

64 or 256gb recommended bro?

i got the 64gb one.

im fairly new to this VR thing, so this is sufficient for me.
i don't install much applications from the Oculus store.
and most of the time, im hooked up to my PC to play VR games from my Steam.

it depends on your preference.
but i definitely recommend the 64gb one as it is more than enough to play most of the good games from Oculus Quest Store

Ppl here who have been using their Quest 2s, how's everything?

Any issues or complaints that u might want to share with others?

Amazon is preparing to ship my unit. Will receive it in a week or 2

Need some info about the connectivity. My PC doesn't have USB-C. Can I still play PC games with the Quest 2 with USB-A 3.2 connection? I wanted to play flight simulator with it.

so far it's good. cannot wear for long hours, i end up buying contact lenses for more comfort

do check out the lowyat VR thread for more sharing from others
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2811952/+1160

I'm currently using USB type C (connects to the headset) and USB 3.0 (connects to the PC).
Not sure about USB-A 3.2, it should work I think.

Similar to the above, if you have more questions, you may refer to the VR thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2811952/+1160

I'm just newbie in this

Thanks for your info. I also put forward my question there, but I guess this is more of all Quest 2 thing. I think that should work, because I also have USB 3.0 ports. USB-A to USB-C to recommend or I can just buy those UGreen cables?

Selling some of my AMVR Quest 2 accessories

Most usb cables will work. I have a USB 2.0 1.5 m ugreen cable. USB A to C. It works but I ended up using virtual desktop cuz I bought it when it was on Christmas sale. If u have a decent 5ghz WiFi router it's a great alternative to oculus link

Hold up I missed something. USB 2.0 cables only support 72hz via oculus link. USB 3.0 cables allow up to 90hz. Take this into consideration b4 u buy a USB cable

Thanks for the info. Any USB-A to USB-C 3.0 cable to intro which I can easily order from Shopee or get in Klang Valley or something?

I have 2 new sets of Oculus Quest 2, in full sets 256gb to sell, anyone interested please PM me

yeah about the usb cable no need c to c right c to a ok already as long as 3.0

Amazon US, no import fee and taxes. Is this cheap?

Yea, it's surprisingly cheap. I got mine from amazon US too. I spent the money that I saved by not buying from local resellers on apps / quality of life accessories. Virtual desktop, lens protector ring, GOMRVR halo strap and rechargeable batteries.

The charger can support here? or we need to use our normal phone charger?

You got the GOMRVR upgraded leather version? Did you get the leather face cover as well? You using which power bank?



Should i get this power bank to mod to halo strap? 5000mah no USB-C. Or get 10,000 mah USB C better?

Amazon US or Japan cheaper to buy Quest 2?

What's the estimated shipping time?

Amazon US took forever for me. Amazon Japan arrived in a little over a week. Shipping is about the same with Amazon Japan being a little bit more expensive overall.

Supported but its a 2 pin US charger. U need an adapter for it.

I supposed any charger should work but oculus recommends to only use the included charger

The upgraded leather version u are talking about is the one with the
wider pad on the back is it?

No, I'm using a cheapo silicon face cover. Works well enough. Also easy to wipe clean when sharing with family members.

I haven't gotten the halo Strap yet. Still otw from Aliexpress. I'm not too sure if this halo strap needs any modding for comfort unless u want that extra battery life.

Plus there's just not much room to mod the powerbank onto the strap. The back has a dial that u will need to adjust each time u put on or remove it. And tying the powerbank to the top strap seems insecure. Idk. Have to try when I get my hands on it.

I supposed using the package charger is faster than using phone charger

Yes, wider back pad, 升级.



Some mod ideas

How many days was the delivery from Amazon US? Mine says out of stock but they charged my CC already hmmm.
