The controller battery usage is insane. I've used it for around an hour and a half and the battery hasn't dropped below 100% on each controller. On my Quest 1 they'd probably be at around 70% by now.

EDIT: Someone I know from VRChat has used theirs for 6 hours and they're still at 100% as well!

If I think I'm around 70 and I get 69 that should be fine right?


There is an iphone app that can measure it for you. You dont need your IPD to buy lenses though? Just your CYL anx AXIS for each eye. A typical prescription does not have an IPD on it.

Better than fine, it'll be nice.

The VR Lenses ask for IPD since they design it with the headset in mind I think. I tried an app and got three different answers, 70, 71 and 72 so I guess I'll go with 70 just to be safe.

Streaming to my TV – it sounds like I basically need a Chromecast device to do it... is that right or is there another option?

I'd quite like to know as well, my glasses don't really work great with my Index so if there's some actual lenses I'd be interested in trying them out.

I got mine from VR Optician. They are great. Not having glasses smashed up against the bridge of your nose is much more comfortable and also comforting.

I'm holding off for now, because im nervous about buying the wrong IPD. I'll wait until my battery strap eventually arrives and go from there.

Do the lenses give you gimmick vision?

Just played Eleven Table Tennis until my headset died. Absolutely love it. There seems to be a little trouble avoiding double hits at times but apart from that it feels so close to playing the real thing it's ridiculous.

Keep receiving invitations to play a game but I'm too scared to get smashed :lol: especially as you can talk to each other through the headset!

Kaza, what level can you beat the AI at? I somehow managed 11-9 against it at 25 last night but now I'm getting humiliated by 20.

Also StayDead how are you getting on with your new set? Can you notice a difference?

I don’t have that game! It was more just a general opportunity to share scores on leaderboards etc.

I finished the Room VR today. Great game. About 4 hours long and very enjoyable.
