    Yeah i still have Grip Lag. Please focus on fixing the bugs that make your headset damn near unusable instead of adding new gimic features.

    Just a small issue on the new store ( began in 1.40).
    When watching previews of games in the store, the Oculus Home ambient sound/music continues to play.
    It is like the game preview is playing more on left side of my head, and Home sound is playing on right side of my head.
    Kind of takes away from the game preview.
    Previously in the old store no Home ambient sound played while watching a game preview.

    Since this latest Update, i have a problem with the Controller-Buttons and the joysticks. They are not working proberly anymore. I have to push them twice or 3 times before my game (Elite Dangerous) recognizes the input. Same with the Joysticks.  :/

    Ok this latest release is broken. The grip is very inconsistent making it impossible to play.

    I've had the same issue - audio from those videos you play in the store is all messed up spatially speaking.
    (note this is in 1.40, have not tried 1.41 due to reported controller issues)

    The controllers are definitely delayed for me. The joysticks are off and not responsive in this patch. I have to move the joystick multiple times for it to finally move in the game.

    Wow this update may have done permanent damage. Now I keep getting a black screen and have to unplug and replug the displayport. Downgraded to prior version and still have the problem. I'm guessing it was the firmware update. I'm definitely opting out of the beta testing option after this. I strongly suggest not installing this update!

    I need a fix where the controllers and headset for the rift s lose tracking except for rotating. I have tried everything.

    I still can't use my controller (most of the times) in the Desktop App,
    The cursor is responding and I can maximize/minimize the windows or select a file, but when I try to open it by clicking/double clicking on it nothing happen.
    Also, accessing the embedded video player controls in a browser is not working most of the time
