    I was going to buy one, but when they got bought out it made the Vive an obvious choice for me. No regrets, it still works great.

      I’ve heard good things, but they seem to be discontinued at this point and I’m worried about parts availability and whatnot if something breaks.

      I’m casually looking at Valve Index. It seems Valve is looking into a successor, so I might wait a bit to see what that looks like. I’m in no hurry.

        Vive would be OK if you’re on a budget, you could probably get good deals on used stuff but if you wanted something new, it might be a good idea to wait a bit to see what Valve does.

      I got a cv1 before Facebook bought them. It’s been downhill from there. Not to mention the lack of linux support which forced me to keep a windows partition just for it.

      It’s in storage now, I don’t know if I’ll be able to reinstall it when I put my machine back together in a few months.

      All in all it’s was a fine piece of kit killed by, I’m not even sure, greed probably.
