I own a Quest 2, and I don't use it much simply because the front-heavy weight of the thing gets uncomfortable quickly. No matter how carefully I adjust the straps. For a 30 or 45 minute stint at Beat Saber, that isn't as noticeable because I'm moving around and putting out adrenaline. Just sitting still and doing something (Wander, Bigscreen, etc) gets physically unpleasant fast.

Insert your own 'Zuck as Mr. Data' joke here as an explanation of why Meta doesn't think this is a problem.

There are 3rd party straps that are a solution to this, from brands like Kiwi and BoboVR. Some as cheap as $40. Great solution, and I'm glad that Oculus/FB/Meta has designed such hardware that allows for things like this (looking at you, Sony).

I have looked into those, especially the ones that sensibly include a place to put a battery at the back. Combines counter-weight and increased operating time. But I haven't decided yet if I like the content enough to invest more money in it.

Big fan of “the climb” myself. The tech is absolutely still in its youth and i hope to god zuck isnt the primary pioneer of its evolution because fuck that guy, but the potential for growth is 100% there
