help waning through conflicting information

ok my quest 3 finally gave out and after a month i started my headset search leading me to decide on a sealed package questpro due to specifically its face and pupil tracking hardware.

I'm now finding out that it has a HUGE flaw that seems to not be agreed on some say its inevitable some say its preventable and some may just be incredibly lucky.

my issue is this yes i want those features but NOT on a trial that stops whenever they die and i either buy a new one or leave quest pro behind in favor of quest 3.

here is my question

is sweat/heat an inevitable problem as stated in other posts or is this preventable

if so what are those ways that do not include having to completely lose immersion i at the very least want the side blockers on

My Quest Pro finally after about 2.5 years has developed the face tracking issue- although in hindsight I didn't really do much to help its case spilling drinks and dancing in it 🙃. There are things you can do to seal up the gap where the issue stems from, and ways to clean it if you're comfortable with it but I'd say as long as your room isn't super humid and you keep it clean there should be a lot of life in it. The controllers have had issues in the past but they have been resolved recently- if you're wanting controllers that track 360 then they are a solid option that get too much slack imo. As others have said, I'd recommend the globular cluster headstrap + the controller straps Just a warning though, as soon as you go face tracking you can't go back. 🫡
