    I have come across one drawback to the Quest 2, at least I can personally compare to PSVR.  For me there is a much smaller sweet spot to get the entire lens FOV to be in focus.  Apparently Reddit noticed this issue, and people say it's way worse than Quest 1 - or any other VR headset.  On the PSVR I can get the entire FOV to be in focus, but I can never keep it there because the headset moves around too much.  On the Quest 2 I can at least keep the headset in one position, but I can't find a position where the edges of the lenses are as clear as the center.  Some people speculate this can be fixed in software, so hopefully it will be updated.

     

    And just like the PSVR I have a hard time getting smudges/oil off the lense, even after using a brand new microfibre cloth.

     

    I wish a higher-end headset would adopt Virtual Desktop wireless streaming method, because it looks and works pretty well.  Whatever headset I buy next has to have a much higher FOV and be wireless.  I can't go back to wired.

    I dont know if this will help or not, but adjusting the FFR in sidequest settings to off reduces edge blurring. You might want to try the half step setting for the IDP adjustment.

    I finally put in an order for a Quest 2, but it won't be here until Jan 27.

     

    I was looking at link cables, and there are a ton of them on Amazon. Anyone have a specific recommendation, or does it not really matter?

    Ive been using the Anker cable with the monoprice or cable creations active extension (I'd go with monoprice). If you have a good router (preferably wifi 6) and plan to play close to it, virtual desktop is another great option, but I've had better luck with visuals and controller latency corded. I did play on a older router that isn't reliable, but it did work good for me, just not as well as corded.

    So far the app that made me most giddiest was a browser-based Spider-man game in Firefox.  It looked like a PS1 game and the physics were pretty basic, but the feel of shooting your webs and swinging was fucking amazing.  I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want a more fleshed out Spidey game.

     

    Also I am intrigued by just drawing the Guardian area upon setup.  Are there any decent augmented reality games?

    Population One climbing and gliding are pretty cool as well. No AR stuff yet, but there are a few games that support full hand tracking. I also saw a video that allowed you to bring in your physical keyboard into VR, but it had to stay in the same spot. Some oculus updates also hinted couches and other home object that can be placed in the gaurdion.

    Looks like the average size of Quest stand-alone games is, what, 2-4GB, is that right?  Seems like the 64GB version would be more than enough for these games, as the more demanding ones I want to play via Virtual Desktop anyway.  Is this the general consensus?

     

    The Quest 2 will bring larger titles eventually. I need a new router myself but my shoddy 5gz signal does well enough for the moment. Not sure if its my router or not, but I've noticed better visuals/brightness playing Population One directly from the headset applying higher textures compared to the PC version over VD. Again not sure if that has to do with my router or not. So its really a mixed bag.

     

    I try to buy Steam first, UNLESS its cross buy with the PC/rift version, OR its a game I would like to take on the go to show family where I cant use a pc. This is the way.
