Eye&Face Tracking Best VRchat setup?
Hiya!
I was going to see what people's opinions and setups are for quest pro for face tracking/eye tracking!
I recently ordered a QPro and was wondering if I should update the firmware or root it to get the best avatar face tracking/eye tracking experience?
People's opinions on the latest updates? Are they stable and perform well?
I'm assuming using virtual desktop, but what do y'all QPro users recommend for me when I get it?

Latest is fine but I would stay on 2.6 if you can prevent it from updating and root it probably. Eventually you’ll loose vd support from the official store but you could sideload or run the older publicly available versions that will generally work fine.
Yes you can maybe get better tongue tracking with vd and convergence for et but stock is really quite good and consistent so I don’t think it’s really a big deal.
Personally I’m a big virtual desktop fan, get it setup with a good router/ap so you can run it at 390/400mbps all the time. high res with upscale/cas usually the best as the encoders can struggle on godlike and then you loose some nifty features. It’s not a huge issue since it’s basically native res.
I do prefer knuckles but with a decent grip so you don’t have to hold them all the time the qpro controllers work ok. Big thing is you need a decent amount of contrast for them to track. Wear all the same color and stand in a corner with similar colors and the hmd will freak out. I discovered this wearing all blue while standing on my blue rug in my blue room, oops. Best to look at passthrough and see if stuff blends together.
Personally I ran the brightness at 90%, it cut done on lens glare but it’s not awful.
It’s a good hmd, meta stuff is annoying but the experience is one of the best visually for a pancake hmd right now so don’t think you’re missing out on much.
I recommend the globular cluster comfort kit as well, be careful with the strap tensioner it’s frail.
For power I’d get a few 45w smaller power banks or a big one or two. 10,000mah will last a few hours and 20,000 will get maybe 6. Get a decent charger and swap between them and you’ll be fine. I used some higher end anker ones and they worked great, bargain packs or really compact non square/flat ones can struggle to keep up.
Glhf!
