Depends on what's important to you I guess. My Index is collecting dust, mostly because it's heavy and fiddling with the cables always killed immersion for me.

Yea, its a good alternative, albeit more expensive, to Meta's Quest devices. I'll pick one up, but I do want to see Valve target the high-end again and push the VR space like they did with the Index.

As long as they do that with a wireless version, I will splurge on that as well, I am sure :D

I sure, if/when they do an Index 2 it'll be wireless optional at least. They've already developed the tech for it. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be included with the "no compromises" headset.

I thought that is what it was going to be, both tracking options in a next-level headset!
