Em, just received my CV1 today. Hooked it up. Whole setup process took less than 5 minutes. I prefer Rift to Vive for exactly this reason. Nice design.
No real surprise, either the positive or the negative kind. Screen door effect and god ray are there, yeah, but no biggie once things get going and you stop paying painstaking attention to fine details.
What really bugs me is the gap between my nose and the interface pad. I've read reviews saying there should be a little bit of space, but never thought it's this big. Part of the reason might be that being an Asian, the ridge of my nose isn't as tall. With the Rift strapped tightly on, I can still stick a finger into the nose gap, with extra space to spare. This is particularly annoying. As of now I'm coping with it by filling the gap up with a ball of paper tissue. I thought replaceable interface pads were part of the original plan? Can we have that back please?
Talking about the interface pad, it also sort of gets in the way of my prescription spectacles. (Nearsighted, literally can't see shit without them.) I mean, technically I can squeeze my head into the Rift with spectacles on, but it rubs on the interface pad pretty hard on both sides, and every time I take off the Rift, it yanks my spectacles off, because the frame has sunk into the foam and stuck there. I'm pretty sure the pad will take some damage over time.
The frame of my spectacles is like this:
It's basically impossible to get it thinner or smaller without getting contact lenses.

@Chassit, if you have a spare pair of glasses try this:
the blue masking tape stops the blu tack from marking the fabric, doesn't help with the nose gap though!
