Splendid! Let us know how you go on.

We distribute components and VR ready PCs from Dell/Asus/Alienware etc... so are gearing up for VR.

Not for me! I've got one that turns my iphone into a VR headset, and just a couple of minutes on it makes me feel dizzy & sick as a dog! It's even worse than 3D TV's!

I'm glad they do though! I'll be out at E3 in the summer so I'm hoping to see and try the various options.

What needs to happen though is the big gaming publishers need to back the platform.

If I get one it will be for the likes of War Thunder (already supports it).



Good point about the slight lag causing you wanting to chuck up

That was really good.

I got my H.O.T.A.S rudders and TrackerIR as I used to play Blackshark.

But I have not played for a while as I need to build a new computer.

Really enjoyed that, makes me want to get my chopper back out again

I might get the ps4 version if cheap enough, this year my pockets aren't deep enough for a killer PC to run these, let's hope this isn't another VR fad

I get mine for free as I backed the kickstarter early.

I'm going to put the money I'd factored for the headset into getting a HOTAS setup and/or a wheel for racing games.

I've had the DK2 for around 18 months now - awesome bit of kit - but am looking forward to the consumer variants full release, the changes on paper are quite significant.

I've got a full Racing cockpit with G27 wheel, shifter, and pedals with modded brake pedal - probably going to be selling soon (our first baby on the way in June) in case you're interested ��

looks great but I would struggle making space for it. Probably just going to mount to my computer desk or get another Wheelstand pro which folds away.

I am interested in one and £300 I would be willing to pay but not ~£500
I fully appreciate that they cost of manufacturing the bespoke parts is what bumps up the cost right now and they are making very little margin if any.
Maybe i'll get one in a few years when the bespoke parts become or start to become commodity items and the cost comes down.
