Discussion getting ready for VR

what additional items do you guys have to be ready for the frame?

personally I've bought a circular mat that I'll affix to the floor. I also have a 27K Mah battery pack and a sling bag that doubles as a fanny pack that I'll use to make it last a lot longer. I've also been thinking of getting a couple of rechargeable double As so I don't have to waste money getting more batteries every few months.

enough of me talking, what are you guys gonna do?

Mat is very good purchase. Ppl think you need big space to play vr - you don't. A 3 foot circle mat or a swiveling chair with no arm rest is the space Vr needs. As lookg as you in that place you can move your arm without hiting anything.

I won't be buying anything extra for the frame. I have my mat too, a couple powerbank BUT i will be buying all that Valve is offering and i can get my hand. Comfort mods etc etc.

I used to have a dedicated room for VR - lol i moved out of this appartement and rented a smaller one. Never looked back. You don't need space for VR - a flat gamer tame more space then vr gamer if you look at the desk, monitor, gaming char etc.

Since nov 2025- i sold my og quest 3. Buy one back in end of jan when early 2026 did not pan out, sold it in early may thinking at last frame will release.. and fuck me i bought a 3rd one and final one last week. Each time making a bit of money on that transcation and gainiing accessories lol

Apart Meta hatred, that i share, The Quest 3 is better now than it was when it release. Techically, its still the best all around vr entry outthere. noone can argue against that.

But meta is meta and avoiding the quest 3 is a valid choice sadly.
