First time buying a VR headset – compatibility tips and advice!
Hello. I was wondering if you could suggest some top VR choices for my gaming setup. I’m very new to VR, so these experiences would really help me. I’m also looking for games that already have a few titles and would be great to try. I need to find the best headset for a wheelchair user and someone with near vision. Some popular options include “Beat Saber,” “Koikatsu Party,” “American Truck Simulator,” “Euro Truck Simulator 2,” “Custom Order Maid 3D2,” and “3DXChat.” I also want to check if there are more games available in the Steam library with additional DLCs. Thanks a lot, Alice Annabel Arthington.
You might want to consider a Quest 2 now if you're comfortable with the social side. They offer prescription lens adapters and let you play standalone games or stream PCVR titles wirelessly via your headset with a strong Wi-Fi 6 connection. I often use cockpit VR (flight and racing simulations) and managing cables for wired headsets can be frustrating when you're moving around; tangled wires risk damage and finding replacements is costly. The Reverb G2 and Vive Pro 2 provide sharper displays but come with a much higher price, plus they require additional cables or emitters for tracking, and only work with PCVR setups. The Vive Pro 2 can be made wireless with an expensive add-on, but it needs a high-end PC to run smoothly.
Additional points for the Quest 2: High resolution and smooth refresh rate deliver great value. Prices are very competitive, especially with lower settings needing less GPU power. Setup is straightforward, though I connect using a 3-meter USB cable. The Wi-Fi works well in ETS 2, but in ACC, iRacing, and PC2 it’s not reliable.
thinks quest 2 wasn't a suitable choice, though the details are quite relevant for budgeting. I had an older Silverstone SG13 in pink after upgrading it with the SST-G11313530-RT on that vehicle—it works well but only supports dual slot GPUs. Also, consider Creston Mopd Maingear Shift, which is essentially a Silverstone Raven 1 original. Its drawback is limited airflow support. I’m thinking about checking out a 2x 180mm and 120mm single rail that fit the OEM fan slots. The biggest challenge is fixing the broken pins on the front panel door and missing GPU cross brace. The 90-degree rotation also helps accommodate modern GPU weights. I plan to write a post about water cooling today for that case too. Found a great panel top upgrade to replace the outdated front I/O with a GRAUGEAR G-MP01CR 3.5 Inch Front Panel USB Hub, including internal card reader, 10Gbps USB3.2 Gen2 USB-C, plus USB 3.0 ports and SD/MicroSD/TF slots. Edit: I forgot to mention the Netgear AX1800 WiFi Router (RAX20) [4-Stream Dual-Band WiFi 6, 1.8Gbps]. Edited February 11, 2023 by Wittwe AB Grw Alice Added Router Info
