I dragged my Rift CV1 back out and set it up, since my left index controller is now RMA'd.
>headset is like 1/3 the weight of the index
>those dark scenes and vibrant colors on OLED
>don't have to open up windows sound settings to get the fucking sound to work every time
>fov honestly feels the same, even though i think it's ~10deg less in theory
>god rays the same
>can lay down with headset on and there isn't a giant hard pad on the back of head
>oculus dash is sublime
>controllers about 70% of the weight of the index controllers
>thumbsticks are buttery smooth
>grip button is easy and precise
>all the gestures work in vrchat, including ok_hand
parts I don't miss
>SDE is real
>90fps feels choppy now compared to 144
>oculus software is bloat (though i noticed no performance issues)
>mic isn't as good quality
>headset cord is shorter
>all my usb ports are gone

For those still on the CV1 and wishing they had an index, just know that you're honestly not missing out on much.
