Pros

Beat saber and budget cuts really show how neat vr can be. For those of us that have been around in vr, it's still a fun experience to get our hearts pumping and our bodies sweating from being inside the experience instead of watching through a flat w...  Read More

It runs everything i've thrown at it so far perfectly without any lag or stutters. There's no bad frame rate and it's a great experience on the 2017 imac. Excellent headset for pc gamers/users.

It is a pain to set up unless you have a dedicated room. If you are up for spending $600 for pure frustration this is the right product for you.

Quality


I really enjoy my time spent with the rift.


Combined with the touch controllers, this is one of my best purchases ever.


However, we've developed a problem with the hdmi extender not working past 10 feet.


Before the invention of usb, these probably would have needed a central device that everything plugged into and it handled all ...  Read More

Competitiveness


I thought it would be a gimick like most other peripherals but i have experienced worlds in true first person.
