I'd love some real world recommendations from our Elite Dangerous community. Maybe some things do well with Elite while others not so much. Perhaps my two considerations are spot on. Just kinda want someone to chime in and say "yep, I use [this/that] and have no issues since day one" or say "had [this] and it was a PITA, but got [that] and love it".

IndyAnyone have any VR setup/brand recommendations? I'm considering the Valve Index. The Vive Pro is also in the running. However, both price-points are on the high side of reasonable (for what is purchased).

Valve Index has been treating me well with ED, especially after I got a basic HOTAS and could ditch peeking-at-the-keyboard-to-find-keys gameplay. I have no experience with any other HMDs though, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt.

I appreciate the recommendation. I've borrowed a headset in the past and was really impressed with the VR experience in Elite Dangerous.
I have a comfortable HOTAS setup as well; it does make a big difference for gameplay, IMO.
Thanks again!

Pico4.
You have to understand that full VR haven't been implemented while playing on foot, we have a boxed FOV which is ennoying, when flying, nothing beats a good headset in this game.
What I appreciate with the Pico is its lenses, they have a very large sweet spot, so most of the time you don't need to turn your head to read which in a game like DCS is particularly important.
Lenses are Pancake type, no funny circles there, like with good spectacles, you got 4320 × 2160 (2160 × 2160 per eye) and a refresh rate of 70 or 90Hz with a 105° FOV.
The only thing it lacks compared to sets 3 X its cost is a larger FOV but 105° is enough.
I don't remember the name but I use a cable pluged to the main and I don't have any issue with battery life, it's worth it.
