- “I am using the Oculus Quest and it has so far impressed me by a very large margin.”
- “Works really well for Skyrim VR with a Quest 2, virtual desktop.”
- “Anyway, tested on Quest 2 (link & airlink) with Skyrim and I love it.”
- “I created a play area within my play area with blow-up mattresses to keep me from straying and activating the quest boundary grid and breaking immersion.”
- “It is very finicky and it doesn't play nice with Radeon Relive VR, so sadly I have to get a refund as that is what I use to play with my Quest 2.”
- “This software solution attracted me to try it because I can't connect external foot trackers to a ShadowPC, nor would I really want to since the whole point of Quest to me is being able to have minimal setup and hardware.”
