Request Developer Flair

I bought my Quest 3 about three weeks ago. I noticed yesterday that the left thumbstick was making clicky noises when I simply tapping/touching it (without actually moving it). Did some research online and apparently this defect is prevalent. Since I now became aware of the issue I tried to listen to my right thumbstick...it's there, but a lot less audible. Like I really just hear it if I focus on it and it's closer to my ear vs the left which is a lot louder

I reached out to Meta and they agreed to replace both controllers with possibly refurbished controllers.

Besides the fact that it's disappointing to get a refurbished for something just a few weeks old within the return window, I was wondering if controllers with no clicks noises exist at all (how rare?). Or do all of them have but some are just louder than others? I'm not sure if I should replace the right controller since I truly wouldn't have known if it wasn't for the left side bringing it to my attention.

Or should I try my luck and return both to hopefully get silent ones?

I don't have a headset yet but am looking to get a quest 2 what games should I try/play

I'm creating a custom home using blender, it looks good so far, but it needs to be darker for a night scene. How do you lower the lighting or make the room darker? What controls the lighting anyway?

If anyone has a suggestion, I'd help me save some hair.

Things I tried:
removing all lights, don't think they do anything anyway
Lowered emission strength on skybox from 1 to .5
darkened textures
Lowered world surface colour/strength to black/0

Still looks too bright.

I bought quest 2 in November from a friend. I created an account on a PC, immediately became disabled, filed an appeal, and after a couple of months they turned it off completely. I dunno what me need do

Some games like blade and sorcery and skydances behemoth crash or don't detect my quest 3 does anybody have a solution?

Hey there! I've had my quest 2 for about a year now (gifted last christmas) and I've gained some pretty bad conteoller drift. This wouldn't be much of an issue but I can not work the hand tracking to save my life and I'm a VRChat performer, so the drift heavily effects my abilities to do what I do.

Is there a cheap way to fix them so I don't have to pay $150 on brand new controllers? My birthday is coming up so I'll have a little extra money to spoil myself, but $150 would be most of my budget and I'd still like to go out and get some new clothes and makeup.

Any suggestions help!

Hey All!

I made a video review the game here https://youtu.be/6EMKB5_M_SE, but I know this is reddit, you don't come here to watch videos, so I am gonna type out my thoughts as well.

Darknet's VR controls are pretty simple, you control the game with a laser pointer, and essentially just look around. You are trying to hack the ROOT of a corporate network but getting through the maze of nodes and firewalls is not an easy task. I love the visualization of the VAST networks that make up a run.

Now when you dive into an individual node, you use viruses in an attempt to have that virus spread to the node in the center. However, there are antivirus scattered about. In order to hack you select one of these antiviruses, take it over, and then your virus expands in all directions outward until it reaches something. If it reaches another antivirus, it will sweep across and eradicate your viruses, and take itself out in the process. But if your hack reaches the central node, you have successfully taken it over. Doing so, nets you some money that you can then spend on acquiring more viruses or other tools like exploits, worms and hydras.

But the core of the game revolves around amassing as many viruses as you can to overcome the antivirus programs. So there is  A LOT of strategy that goes into hacking.   You spend a lot of time clearing out antivirus programs, trying to isolate a single point so it can expand, and sometimes it becomes a last second race to the middle after you trigger a backlash.  It starts off easy enough, but definitely gets harder the deeper you go.  Soon this small nodes, feel like vast networks, and the race to the center can get really tricky. You're looking all around and experimenting, trying to find the best path.  There are also some other elements that shake up the strategy, sections that rapidly expanded, antiviruses that have shields, or antiviruses that completely quarantine sections of the grid.  And you can really start to feel the pressure, because remember, the whole thing is timed, and the whole game is that puzzle within a puzzle.  

Hydras are used to quickly make some money, but I sometimes wonder if they are worth the cost. Most of the important nodes in a system are covered in shields, which stop hydras.

Either way I find this game is a GREAT time killer, it makes you think, and as with other strategy puzzle games, time just FLIES by when you play it.

So i habe a Obolus rift s and want to Upgrade. Im thinking of buying the 3s because its cheaper (i dont have that much money sadly).

I read that the Differenzen between 3 and 3s are the lenses but i dont think the lenses are that important to me, i dont even know what lenses the rift s has xD

Is the 3s also Compatible with my pc so i can play games on there too?

Would love to hear your thougts and Tips!

had this headset for a couple years, and for almost the entire time it seems to constantly have had wifi issues. my ping will jump very high and the Internet will cut out for no reason, on every other device in my house there's no issues, only on the 2 headsets we have.

I'm very tired of it, does anyone know a fix? I don't want to always play PCVR.

Im sure this has been mentioned in here before (I didn't check because I'm new to VR in general (2nd day)). When I'm done playin for about an hour or so doing the boxing or boneworks etc. I feel like I'm having an outer body experience 😂 such a STRANGE feeling. I wonder what playing VR with 🍄‍🟫 would be like

I recently broke out my Quest 2 after an extended hiatus. At first sleep worked as I was used to, but it seems to have gotten a system update in the meantime. Now if I take off the headset for a few minutes and try to use it, I receive this message on the headset:

Headset power - xx% power - keep your headset charged before you get back into vr

Below the message are three options, Cancel, Sleep and Power Options. Last time this happened the power level was 88%, which is fine as far as I'm concerned since I usually play wired anyway. The problem is that the controllers at this point are disconnected and non-functional. The only way to get out of this message is to completely restart the headset. Is there any way to abort this message w/o the controllers, or better yet just disable the message entirely?

Recently ran into this issue, and I haven't changed anything recently to cause it. It acts fine when no game is launched, and I can put it on without any problems. A couple seconds after launching a VR game (Blade & Sorcery, if it matters), it crashes the game and I get a Displayport error. It then reconnects itself right away. At first I thought B&S was the issue, but I can open it up and load in no problem on my monitor. It's only once I wear the headset, and the screen turns on does it crash.

Could this be a power issue? I've read something about the cables not able to get enough power from the PC. Or perhaps a software bug?

If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it.

(I'm pretty sure it broken but just wanted to make sure it is before I try and get it fixed) so I was cleaning it out with a needle [which was a very stupid idea and don't even know why I did it] and I think I pushed it back inside the headset. Does anyone knows if it's definitely done for (also how to clean the mic properly if I get new one

I just bought a quest 3 from Amazon and it looks like it was a return from someone else. It keeps losing tracking for like 5 seconds and then regaining it for a few seconds in an endless loop. I'm considering returning it because I don't know what to do.

Buying birthday gift for a friend who is going to get a Quest 3 in their other gift. I am thinking of getting either a $100 gift card or the other thing, I love the head strap and link cable from syntech myself, should I get the same for my friend? With a $25 gift card instead?

What would you think is an appropriate gift?

My friend is giving me his old quest 2 and has a bunch of games, but I want to make my own account, will that delete all the purchases?

Basically title, the metal circles dig into my hand and I get marks on my hand after a few minutes. I tried to make it less tight, but even when it's too loose I feel it.
