HTC Vive Pro 2 Virtual Reality Full Kit [99HASZ005-00]

its a little heavy but looks amazing at 5k 120hz 120fov and the tracking is pretty good compared to the v1.. only thing that took awhile to get useto was the touch controllers touch pad is really sensitive but now im useto it only some games it really effects me. and the controllers are pretty massive some games it takes a odd angle to reload certian guns. but im waiting untill its a bit easier to import some valve index controllers that pair with it and itld be perfect.

Good all-in-one set for your first VR

Tried this on several VR titles, excellent experience. It’s not working very well with the Microsoft Flight Simulator, but I believe it’s an optimisation issue of the game itself.

Great addition for sim racing

This is my first experience with VR and overall quite positive. The FOV isn’t quite what I was expecting it to be but for the games I mostly play anyway it’s not really a complaint since it does feel more like wearing a helmet. Aside from it being a little bit finicky to get the right adjustments for the best clarity I’ve been quite happy with the experience. I find in order to get the clearest image I sort of need the screen facing a bit more downward which is a little difficult with the range the headband is able to adjust, but once things are set up well it’s fantastic. 120hz is great in the games I’m able to achieve it in, I don’t find any “screen door” effect; however in extremely contrasted scenes like menus there is a fair amount of bloom from strong light ... MoreThis is my first experience with VR and overall quite positive.

Since this is my first VR experience I’m not exactly qualified to go into the nitty gritty, but I highly recommend this headset especially for Sim Racers to get that extra bit of immersion and really put yourself in the seat.

No Linux support. Marginal Windows support.

I'd read a number of articles saying that Vive's Pro series of VR equipment was compatible with Linux via SteamVR. That certainly doesn't appear to be the case with the VivePro2.After hours of messing around, the Vive setup app kept failing because it "couldn't find steam" even when it was literally launched through Steam. I payed +$2k for this headset, which means I'm committed at this point, so I guess I'll be forced to use Windows to make it work. The thought of having my home network exposed to that horrible OS literally makes me feel dirty, but as the lesser of two evils, I guess it's still better than having Facebook spy on you via Oculus. Still extremely disappointing though.The next day I went to town, bought another SSD, and installed Microsoft's ... MoreI'd read a number of articles saying that Vive's Pro series of VR equipment was compatible with Linux via SteamVR.

Still extremely disappointing though.The next day I went to town, bought another SSD, and installed Microsoft's s***-tier spyware operating system on it. The Vive setup app completed and connected to all the VivePro2 peripherals, however when it came to room calibration, SteamVR couldn't see any connected headset or controllers. That afternoon I spent about 4 hours talking with Vive tech support who had me:1) Reinstall Vive Console2) Reinstall SteamVR3) Turn off, unplug, and reconnect the Vive4) Purge the USB drivers from SteamVR5) Multiple system reboots6) Dump and send them detailed system logs from both SteamVR and ViveConsoleThey were pleasant enough to deal with, but in the end they had no idea what was happening, and had to escalate the problem to their R&D department, telling me that they would get back to me within 24 hours (which they did not). I received my VivePro2 on Wednesday morning, and six days later I still don't have a working unit.I really want to like this headset. I really want it to be the VR experience I was hoping for... but sofar it just isn't. Perhaps like the redemption story of NoManSky, it will transform into a great product with bug-fixes and future development, but it definately isn't great right now. In it's current state of driver and non-spyware system support, this product still isn't ready for mass consumption (as much as I wish it was). Given how plug-and-play every other modern gaming peripherals is (under both Linux and Windows), as well as the development of open interchange systems like OpenXR and SteamVR, it really shouldn't be this hard... but apparently it is.In summary, I would say "buyer beware." I'm sure you want everything this second-gen headset is promising (I know I did), but my recommendation is definately to hold off purchasing this until HTC get their s*** together.

Pro 2 kit

Product is good, wizard was smooth and easy though the UI doesn't allow me to interact with individual devices to remove them from the steam/vive interface. I had a controller time out during an update and now has a redundant unkown tracker in the devices section I can't remove without wiping them all and doing setup again. Hardly an issue at this stage though, controller updated fine with cable and registered separately.

Very quick to deliver, despite

Very quick to deliver, despite two days of public holiday forcing a delay. That was bad timing on my behalf though. Quite satisfied all round.

Vive pro 2

Has to be fitted very well, eyes in focal point or it’s blurry. Still blurry at the sides so you need to turn your head for a sharp image. Pixels barely visible, 1080ti card almost sufficient in very modded Skyrim VR.

Vive pro 2 very good quality VR

with my overclocked watercooled 3090 strix this head set gets around 90 frames at 120hz, can be as low as 30 frames and as high as 120 frames. Set at high graphics quality Average 90. Large improvement on graphic quality compared to vive pro. tracking perfect. I find the hand controls are very good as well no complaints.
