Not gonna lie the controller looks ass but maybe it feels fantastic so I‘ll wait with my final judgement. I‘m interested to see how they will try to push VR since most users are still incredibly uninterested in it.

I've wanted to get into VR for the longest time but they all seemed like extremely walled gardens. This sounds awesome to me.

I've got a Meta Quest 2 as a hand-me-down and yes, it's extremely locked down. It's possible to use a third-party app store, but to make it work you have to get a developer account with Meta and enable wireless debugging.

I also recieved a quest 2 recently, any good guides on getting it set up with third party apps that you found?

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I hear the SideQuest app store is the place to go.
