I've popped my Oculus DK2 on eBay; fed up with the way the SDK doesn't feel as solid as it should at this point   the Windows 10 oversight is a bit daft.

I'm still undecided between the Vive and the CV1, especially for Elite which is really hard to play without VR once you've had it data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Has anyone here used both recently?

How do you manage when you need to type things on the keyboard?

I've been using keyboards for about 33 years.Instinct.

I have the flight sticks either side of me on the desk and the keyboard is in the middle.It's mostly plain sailing (as long as you can read text - there's a hack for that on Elite) - if you mistype, you just delete and try again.

It usually gets tricky if you press F1 instead of Escape or if you have a cat who is a jerk.
(If I had a headset with a mic I'd be half tempted with some of the voice controls Elite has to go with it...)

I've managed mostly without a keyboard. I've VoiceAttack and the phonetic alphabet programmed in, some standard phrases for chat, and I'm mostly sorted.

Hopefully in SteamVR the funky gamepad keyboard will be included.

I like the idea of a video overlay with a small side-mounted webcam that I can maybe fade in with a key... Hmmm. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

hi

can you let us know what it goes for (or just PM me please)

Given i cant use mine at the moment anyway due to a trapped nerve it may be time to let her go.have had so much more than my monies worth however... mostly due to elite (which is why i have a trapped nerve)

Accurate voice capture has to be the replacement for a keyboard, as least in my mind.I don't want to be slowly scrolling over a virtual keyboard.If it's slower than a normal keyboard then I wouldn't take to it.
