Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the immersive VR experience and the comfortable design of the Rift Headset, frequently praising its lightweight feel and intuitive touch controllers. However, some users point to the lower resolution and resulting screen door effect as drawbacks, while others mention occasional motion sickness and compatibility issues with certain games or hardware. The available content library is also a point of contention for some customers. Despite these shortcomings, many appreciate the headset's overall performance and value for the price.

    Good for casual use. If doing intense gaming, make sure to take breaks.

    My system meets the requirements but the USB ports don't. I have 5 USB 3.0 ports on a new board I got specifically for the rift. The response from Oculus was to get a different maker of USB. Strange that it wouldn't work better on such a high priced item. Can't play it till I buy a USB adapter.

    I really enjoy my game hours spent in the Oculus Rift. It has better graphics than I expected, and you really can't beat the immersion. However I notice that the "God Ray" artifacts are really annoying with my unit. I'm wondering if this is a common issue or is it just my unit.

    If you're looking to experience vr, do not go with the Rift. The only product on the market with a true vr experience design is the Vive. Without full roomscale in mind, this will always be a half baked product. Nothing will change when Oculus Touch arrives. It just wasn't designed to be a full wide open 360 degree experience. Not only that but the company behind this product tracks everything you do on your computer. There is a background service that constantly sends information to their parent company even when you don't have the unit turned on. There's no option to even turn this off. It's something you agree to when installing the necessary software to run this hardware. Stay away from the Rift and stop supporting paid exclusives and non-optional customer marketing.
