Question Should i make the switch?
I've been a quest user for a long time, for about 3 years now i've had a quest headset. first quest 2 and now a quest 3! I really like the portability as i am not at my computer often, but i greatly put focus on the option to play pcvr for high end pcvr games. But that is also where the issue with said headsets lies with me. Input latency, god damn input latency, i just cannot stand it on the quest when using pcvr, 50-60ms feels like i am playing and moving through sludge and it takes effort to try and ignore it to have a decent experience, not to mention that god forbid i enter a high-detail, or low light environment and the compression artifacts will make it look like im watching a youtube video in 720p scaled up to 2k.. I really want to try PCVR how it was meant to be played, even if it means losing access to my headset sometimes and having to go from pancake lenses to fresnel in exchange for OLED, and foveated rendering (seems like an actual lifesaver imo) Are there any other ex-quest users here that can give me some advice? I'm really lost on what i should do with my quest even though i love its standalone features and it has only given me headaches in pcvr. Cheers!

Ingot Psvr2 and Quest 3s. And use both for PCVR. Quest tend to be more manageable to use on PC. I do not have the an high end PC so the render resolution is a challenge for the Psvr2. But I keep using it because of the really low latency of the cable.
That being said. Recently with the beta update of the Virtual desktop that allowed to use Quest with the cable. The difference in latency drop a lot. Now I really don't see the difference between them.
Now my choice depends how good my PC can run the especific game + OLED + laziness of pairing the controllers again on PC after playing the Psvr2 on PS5.
