I've been using the Meta Quest 3 for a while now and it's a massive upgrade from the 2! But it is not perfect and I found some drawbacks. Virtual Reality is getting better, but VR headsets are still in the early stages of their existence. Thankfully, the passthrough on this Quest headset is surprisingly good!

I'm one of those who used the Quest 2 daily, and I replaced it by the Quest3. Its a big difference. To me the MR possibility is one of the best features. I do a lot of fitness and where possible I like it to do in MR.

​@toututu2993 it will never replace keyboard and mouse lmao. It will replace the screens that we use though but tactile buttons will always be better.

@@SuperDestroyerFox It's possible just inside the virtual headset where you can control a 3d character in 3rd person but your head movement is the camera and so much more. You don't have to be the character you control and you don't have to do zillion time backflip in mid air yourself.

I used Side Quest for the Quest 3 and maxed out all the settings for it. And it looked great on the 3000 resolution with no Fixed Foveated Rendering, on bigger games it will have issues running this, but surprisingly smaller games have no issues, the games on 3000 resolution are a heck of a lot clearer then just using a Quest 3 without the Side Quest settings. But its still a tiny bit blurry even after all these buffs, which I was disappointed, because it felt like it was almost at the perfect resolution Clerity, I wish the Quest 3 was capable of being able to focus on the picture and make it clearer with even better lenses and triple the power, with a good headstrap. Then it would be a solid headset.

That's my biggest gripe (besides battery life). I let some of my family/friends try my quest 3 over the holidays, and none of them could figure out how to put it on properly because of that headstrap. I just upgraded to the Aubika battery headstrap and it fixed those issues, but I can't believe I had to spend another $80 for something that should've come with the headset.

Anyone have this issue? it worked fine was very babied since opening then just not the next day! Could this be a hardware issue or software issue or should I return it

You already scuffed up your unit ??!! Buy a hard case if you can...totally worth it. I carved out a hole for the power cord so now the unit can charge and rest in a fully protected closed case. If you have small kids, cats or dogs believe me you don't want to leave it out on a kitchen table or desk charging. One mistake and that unit couldn't be destroyed. Even a beam of sunlight that creeps around the corner can DAMAGE your lenses beyond repair. Hard case from Best Buy is dope..it fits my BOBOVR strap, 4 batteries, Xbox controller, touch controllers with straps, cords and still has room for more accessories. Best part its modular foam.. you can customize the layout any time. I cant stand when cases make you place items the way they want because we always find more efficient and personal ways. More people need to try VR, it's a game changer thats going to take a well deserved seat next to gaming giants very soon !!!

@@Spruce1968 I'm more forgiving with battery life because we really need a battery tech revolution, it's holding everything that uses a battery back.

The faceplate buttons have nothing to do with focus. They simply control the spacing between your face and the lenses for comfort and glasses. Ipd adjuster is the slider wheel underneath that people need to play with for perfect clarity for their personal ipd.
