    It’s still fulfilling its role well. Meanwhile, the Index is getting pretty old compared to current-gen VR headsets. It’s still a fantastic headset, but it would be nice to have something smaller, lighter, and wireless.

    Bigscreen’s Beyond headset should be looked at as something the next wave of VR headsets should strive for.

      I think we are getting close to the Deckard being announced, the successor to the Index. Hopefully they do hand controller refresh/redesign, the joystick potentiometer they used in the Index Controllers were dog shit.

        Hopefully it’s cheaper and more widely available than the Index. I’m waiting for it because I don’t want to deal with Windows anymore for anything, and VR is one of the last requirements.

        True. Thankfully, it’s a common part, so I was able to replace mine relatively easily and it’s held up well.

        If it is a Deckard coming soon, I’ll definitely be working out for one.
