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?

    Vive Pro 2 uses proprietary software as well, if I’m not mistaken. Right now there are only 4 SteamVR native headsets:

    • 2016 Vive
    • Vive Pro (wired only iirc)
    • Valve Index
    • Bigscreen Beyond
