Yeah that was me, it’s a known bug with Quest 2 that it won’t charge using USB-C on some PCs. That was the final nail in the coffin for it that made by buy a Reverb G2. Glad you don’t have that issue.
I haven’t mentioned the G2 since I bought it. I really like it, it’s a great upgrade over the Quest and has fixed pretty much every issue I was having. I find it much more convenient to use than the Quest 2, you just chuck it on and it works without having to micromanage it all the time. Getting into a race now is a super smooth experience whereas before whenever I put it on the Quest I would always have to go through some Oculus setup stage which just became such a drag.
Like the Quest 2 it is quite sensitive to the light level in the room, but unlike the Quest to re-calibrate it you just need to look left, then right, then down. Also when set to sit/guardian mode the G2 doesn’t bother you with messages, you don’t get funny grid lines around yourself whenever you move, and it doesn’t complain if it can’t find the controllers.
The downside is that the stabilisation software isn’t as good as the Quest 2, so it tends to jink around a lot when using it with Windows. After using the Quest 2 for so long I found just wearing the G2 at all would make me a bit queasy. I am fine with it now though and presumably my VR legs have improved. As mentioned elsewhere an issue with it is that it needs to run at 90FPS and it is more sensitive to FPS drops than the Quest, so it’s a pain to get working smoothly even on a very powerful PC like mine.
Despite initial misgivings it’s actually very comfortable with the default strap. It’s hard to adjust because it uses Velcro but once in the correct position you never need to adjust it again. The headset is much lighter than the Quest 2. Also it flips up at the front which is very convenient. I find it much more comfortable to wear than the Quest 2.
The image is much better overall as it’s much higher resolution but especially in terms of colour balance, as the Quest 2 always looked slightly washed out to me. It also has a higher FOV which lets you see a bit more of the world. Additionally it has a slider which lets you set the space between the lenses with much more precision, something the Quest 2 is limited in. It has built in headphones which have great sound quality and contribute to it being less hassle to put on, as you don’t need to don your own to hear everything properly.
If you are looking for a VR headset primarily to use with the PC and want excellent image quality and zero hassle then it’s a great choice.
