Index is awesome but you also need a well spec'd PC, have $999 on hand, and wait a few months for one. I believe the waiting list is 2-3 months now. I missed my reservation the first time, so if you really want one be vigilant in checking your email and Steam account.

Pros

- Knuckles controllers, still nothing like them

- External base station tracking, the only option that opens up full body tracking and makes it easy to do feet based movement

- High Refresh rate

- Good FOV

Cons

- Knuckles still isn't universally supported

- LCD screen and no OLED

- Reverb G2 has a much better screen

- Wires

I would recommend the G2 but its tracking and controllers just aren't as good as the Index, unless you're just going to use it for driving and flying games.

Don't forget the revolutionary off-ear audio. It's fantastic, and as far as I know, there's still nothing out there like it.

The Reverb G2 apparently uses the same audio hardware as the Index

Current wait time for Index is 12-14 weeks (got mine in 12) - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10CTIAd7OzNJhzkimpCFD...
