So I bought a second hand Reverb G2 in mid-November and of course a month later WMR was announced as deprecated.

I’m eyeing up a second hand Vive Pro 2 that includes the base stations. New this is retailing for NZD 2200, but I can grab it for NZD 1400. I’ve also considered the Pimax Crystal, which I can just afford, but it’s NZD 2900 and I’m a bit put off by it using a battery pack and still using proprietary software.

I’ll be using it primarily for simracing and my thought process is that the Vive at least has a steam app so if HTC stops supporting it I’m not completely screwed like I am with the Reverb. Pimax is different because their software is completely standalone as far as I’m aware. So is it worth saving 50% or so and getting something comparable to the Reverb, or am I selling the Crystal short?

    There have been rumors that PSVR 2 is coming to PC this year. Havent personally used it, but it seems like a with upgrade over the WMR headsets. Inside out tracking, good controllers. I just hope the software side id things are solid.

    No real answer for your main question sorry OP. Maybe a quest 3 would be best, it supports SteamVR link wireless connections now.

      I hope so, then Microsoft will open source WMR for sure to keep people from switching to those.
