Are these worth getting for Steam VR?

Does anyone have one that they use for Steam VR and can talk to how well they work?

I used to own a quest 2 and would use it exclusivly for PCVR. The big thing that made me sell it was all the problems that come with streaming games from another computer:

  • There is more delay in the video stream than quest-native games
  • The video looks like a youtube video since it's being compressed
  • Wifi is very unreliable. Even with a dedicated AP just for the quest, the stream sometimes dropped frames.

For these reasons, as well as all the bullshit that comes with a Meta product, I got an og HTC vive instead. I do miss how convenient the quest was though.

Even with Wifi6? Thats disappointing.

I'll just keep waiting for the next Steam VR. Hopefully thats just a direct, dedicated wireless HDMI.

Although even a USB 4 cable would be fine. I just dont have the space for all the room cameras.

Set virtual desktop to use AV1 encoding. Makes a world of difference.
