Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading to a new vr set from my cockulus rift cv1 I've had since 2019 sometime soon, but I don't think I'll afford a valve index and I don't trust zuck what with the new """meta""" """quest""" """2"".
I'm looking at the hp reverb g2 as a cheaper alternative but apparently its controllers are shit, although I heard you can get the index controllers to work with it.
I'm on the fence of what modern vr headset to get that is
>good
>works with steamvr
>has good controllers
>doesn't cost too much
I'm thinking of maybe ordering an hp reverb and some valve lighthouse shenanigans to hook up the index controllers (so that would include ordering: some 2.0/1.0 base stations, a usb adapter dongle or something so I don't need a lighthouse headset to use the controllers, and the controllers themselves) off of ebay, but I'm afraid that may cost as much as the index, if not more.
For reference, optimistically speaking, if I get enough good money by christmas (I don't have a job), my budget would be $500
What do you guys suggest?
