Pros & Cons
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.
