The Index thread (please keep to subject)

For me, as a Rift S user, it would be a step backwards in some cases. While i would love the increased FoV and new controllers, there are significant things i would not like about the index.

I don't like that the index-controllers have an accu built in. The advanteage of replacing batteries is that you can continuously play while one pair of batteries are charging. I would hate it to be forced to end a gaming session because of a low accu.

Also to place base stations / sensors again would be a step backwards. I love the advantage to set up my playspace independently. With my Rift S there are no limits where i can use it and the setup process takes only about a minute. If i need to use seated experiences with the indes, it has to be inside the tracking area of the base stations.

The increased weight is also a disadvantage. The higher the weight the stronger you need to fix the HMD on your head / face to keep it in position.

For me it's not worth to pay about 600 Euro more. With the new tracking-update 1.39, the Rift S is one of the best HMDs on the market. If you consider the price, it's the best HMD on the market.
