Hey all, just got my Oculus Quest 2, anyone out there got one?

I bought Virtual Desktop for that purpose and so far I'm impressed! It's a bit janky but that might be my settings or wifi.I have pretty good VR legs, owned a psvr and quest 1 before this but echo VR still gives a little motion sickness. My most played game by far is Beat Saber, followed by Pistol Whip. I've used it to play pc games via link but have just set up virtual desktop to play pc games wirelessly, works great with Half Life Alyx.
Personally, for me 64g has been more than plenty.
You need to connect your pc to your router with an ethernet cable otherwise the combined latency of using WiFi for the pc and the quest is too much. Worked fine for me connecting this way. Also there's a few router settings that need playing with to maximise bandwidth. There are guides on getting it working on YouTube.Just got a Quest 2 as an upgrade to my Rift CV1. Loving it so far. Eleven Table Tennis is very good.
Tried using Virtual Desktop to link to my PC but the performance was terrible playing Moss. Got a refund on it.
Does it need a dedicated WIFI card?
I have the PC connected via homeplugs Kev. PC is upstairs so can’t get a direct ethernet cable to it.You need to connect your pc to your router with an ethernet cable otherwise the combined latency of using WiFi for the pc and the quest is too much.

I don’t think I would ever get it work well with the amount of stuff connected to my router.Hmm not sure how good home plugs are. I'm just connected with a short lan cable to my crappy virgin hub. Was **** at first until I got into the hub interface and made the required changes.
I get 120 MBPS + at my PC with low ping through the homeplugs.5.4 ghz should be fine but as stated your PC really needs to be via Ethernet.
Those super Wi-fi routers and repeaters will cost as much as your Quest did but a cheap and easy solution is just use a USB 3 lead.
I managed with cheap 5m Amazon one but Oculus do there proprietary lead for £70 if you want to save the hassle of finding decent leads.
PC VR is vastly better than the mobile CPU games of the Quest and well worth all the effort.
I eventually ditched my Quest for an Index when ALEX came out.
