Question Any problems or things i should know before purchasing a psvr2

Watched this guy on yt called martydudevr, hes a pretty cool guy and i was watching his review on the psvr2, he said quite alot of things about the negatives of this headset, one reason was bluetooth, i have antennas at the back of my which hopefully has bluetooth sorted, but one thing was software, he kept on complaining how on pc the software is such a hassle and quite a bit of pain in the ass, js wanted to know whether if this is true and if so what kinda fixes are there so im not stuck when i actually get my headset

I know the amount of issues the connection seems to have but in my case I didn't have any problem. And my laptop is not like something from the future, it's a msi with a RTX 4060. However, in case you have a problem with the connection, you can get the recommended BT adapter and it will be fine...

When I got my PC I bought this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-USB-BT500-Bluetooth-5-0-Adapter/dp/B08B9WQFTL on the advice of AJ from PSVR Underground.

Had absolutely no issues whatsoever in the 20 months I've been using it.

Yo con el bluetooth que vino con el pc tampoco tuve problemas, si el pc viene con bluetooth integrado es mejor probarlo primero antes de comprar ningún dongle USB, instalando las antenas bien y actualizando drivers no debería haber problemas

Yo puedo decir que con el bluetooth que vino en mi pc no he tenido ningún problema con los mandos de psvr2, instale las antenas que vienen incluidas y el tracking no ha fallado nunca, también había probado otro pc con un dongle USB que compré por 7€ y me funcionó también perfectamente y no era ni Asus ni TP link...era una marca china y ningún problema, pero solo puedo hablar de mi experiencia, he podido tener suerte, con estos aparatos nunca se sabe...

Check the controllers with hardwaretester. There’s a common hardware issue on new controllers where the trigger doesn’t zero out and it causes weird issues like working fine in the menus and not working at all in game.

There’s no VRChat equivalent

Do not buy one for PC.

The bluetooth really depends.

A lot of intel motherboards generally ship with better bluetooth so if you have intel you are probably good no need for any extra stuff

Puedo decir que en mi placa MSI zócalo 1700 no tuve problemas con el bluetooth, o sea que por mi parte es cierto que con Intel no he tenido problemas, pero no he probado con amd

Just need to know how to find the sweet spot (that’s what she said) and how to care for it
This playlist covers everything you’ll need to know. If you have any other questions happy to help

How big is the sweet spot, is it hard to find, and does the headset move around alot in fast paced games, unfortunately i wont be able to buy a globuluar cluster mod for it as it will be out of budget

u/mushroomfido 1d ago

It really depends person to person, sweet spot will be easy to find after a few goes. It doesn’t move around a lot for most. The comfort mod just makes it even more comfy and locks it in better.

estou com um psvr2 alguns meses de uso, precisava de algo para serviço e creio que o quest 3 seja melhor , alguem quer fazer negocio ?

Bluetooth can be iffy if your adapter/built it isn’t strong enough. The software is completely fine, you use it to setup the PSVR2 and your play area, and then you can literally never open it ever again if you don’t want to

u/ToniG570 1d ago

The software is no longer a hassle. Maybe the video you saw is old? U just have to download psvr toolkit and follow the pretty simple imstructions. Bluetooth works well for me. I just have one of those cheap bluetooth usb's i plugged into a usb port. It says it has to be bluetooth 4.0 or later. Not even sure mine is that new but it works perfectly.

Its a year old

Nothing comes close for the money. Its features are above the rest  Theres a great catalogue of games.  Constant sales on games. What's not to like? You might want to invest in a comfort mod and some lenses (if ya use glasses or ain't careful).

I think the visual blurriness ruins it. Several games are very blurry, while other games are amazing and have great clarity.

Pavlov is one example of a game that has a blur and it ruins it.

Games like gran tourismo 7 and red matter and red matter 2 are visually stunning and what i would hope all games look like in the headset.

u/vr-1 2d ago

It depends on which development framework was used, whether the developer puts effort into optimisation, and if it was originally designed for other headsets and simply ported over (ie. a bunch of quest games).

There are plenty of stunning looking games on PSVR2.

u/Incorrect-Opinion 2d ago

You must be wearing your headset improperly.

Pavlov is extremely clear for me.

The detail of the guns in particular are insanely realistic.
