When I bought the Vive Cosmos Elite set back in 2020, it was partially due to the shortage of Valve Indexes at the time and the Cosmos Elite was recently released. The other reason was for the wireless capability that I would eventually get with the adapter. I'm one of the few if not the only person among my friends in VRChat who has a Vive Cosmos Elite, so I occasionally get asked few questions regarding the headset. The problems are nearly nonexistent, but there are a few things that you can do to improve the experience of using the headset for you current and potential owners: I would suggest getting the HTC Vive Cosmos Counter Balance kit from Studioform Creative. This will help to reduce the front-heaviness of the headset. I'd also recommend getting a GearVR lens kit for your Cosmos Elite, for those who aren't afraid remove and swap the default lens from their headset. The lens that come by default has those awful rings that makes everything from the center look blurry. I suggest browsing Etsy for one the various sellers that are selling the GearVR lens kits for Vive Cosmos/Pro headsets, one of them may also offer up to 3 SteamVR game key codes with a purchase of their kits, so its a nice way to start building your VR library if you're new to VR gaming. Do NOT use the flip-up mechanism of your Cosmos headset. That will shorten the life of your already fragile cable, and those cables are not cheap. That was always my main problem with the headset, I've gone through at least 4-5 cables. If/when you can afford it, I highly recommend that you buy the wireless adapter. And lastly, I suggest swapping out the default face pad for one of the Cosmos-compatible leather ones available here on Amazon for easier clean-up after you're done with your VR session. ... show more

    • Not Meta or cheap, not the Porche Index of VR, but rather right in the middle!

Review Image by Tal Tal
I'm rather surprised this worked on my system. My gaming PC is an MSI GL63-series laptop with a Geforce 1660 TI Mobile graphics card. Not exactly the Lambo of gaming laptops or graphics, but it handles well enough for every game I've put it up against. All the 'DisplayPort needed' talk made me wiggle too, but an MDP-to-DP adapter make it work perfectly. (Heck, it came with one in the packaging, too) Pros: So far, games work just fine on mediumish quality with little to no lag issues. I play Half Life: Alyx on Medium and it works very well, Beat Sabre give no trouble, and VRchat also operated quite well. The room-tracking actually impressed me, it was quite near 1:1 movement with maybe 2-15 ms delay at worst and that was because of the laptop most likely. It presented an appropriate sense of scale within applications, as well as ample crouch detection, which you need for some games behind cover! The button configuration works well enough for all apps since SteamVR is handling most of the input mappings to known VR systems I suppose. Sure, it doesn't have a hand strap like the Index... so I use the wrist straps and don't drop my controllers. I don't hand per-finger tracking, but I got grips, and the interfaces are fine with that. Sure, I popped extra for the room sensors, it made logical sense so my clumsy self won't bump into the TV or couch. Cons: The cable can bunch up a bit after a few dozen turns around the room, I'll attest to that. Sort of wish the earphones would better press to my ears, but I can hear through them fine while they hover just a half-inch away from my ears. Wouldn't've minded a 3.5mm plug to auxiliary headphones. Mic works in VRchat clearly however. Maybe this is just me still finding my VR legs, but after a few hours of usage, I do notice a 'tactile disparity' with the real world the next day. It's gotten better, probably need to tune that side eye-spacing knob a little better. But that knob ain't great and I can't go below 60mm which might help some smaller folk. Sure I had to make a Vive account during setup but... at least it ain't hocking my personal information or locking my games to a Meta account like some VR solutions might be doing. I don't HAVE to use the Vive storefront; SteamVR interfaces with it just fine. In fact, it's what does the actual room setup. Summary: I mean, sure the Index would be baller, but some of us have more important things like... you know... rent or groceries or bills. Do you NEED a $1,000+ VR setup? ... I mean REALLY NEED it? Do you need a $1,000+ phone? I mean REALLY NEED it? Do you NEED a car with power windows or can you just use the hand crank to achieve the same outcome and save a couple hundred bucks? Moderation in all things; the middle option is oftentimes sufficient. The HTC Cosmos Elite is plenty sufficient for its intended use case scenarios. ... show more

    • Technically awesome, but it's heavy...
Edition: Full System
All of the technical specs are top shelf and works as advertised. I picked up this and the Valve Index, the Index does have it beat on field of view, but the Vive's display is noticeably better in color and clarity . The Vive controllers have amazing tracking, but they're heavy and starting to show their age and there is no comparison between them and the Index's controllers (you can use those on the Vive too). But honestly my only major issue is that it's stupid front heavy and your neck will be hurting after a few minutes of play. If you are younger or don't have ripped neck muscles like a body builder, you may want to look at the much lighter Mixed Reality or Oculus headsets. ... show more
