Same. I’m always surprised by all these people on HN who claim to have had epiphanies trying the product. Especially the ones who seem to think wireless is the game changer when you’re still walking around a 5x5m space and relying on other inputs for actual movement.

Wireless is a game changer. Being able to just put it on and play is a blessing compared to the last generation and the ability to turn around 360 without worrying about getting entangled makes the experience so much better.

Sounds like VR is not for you, and that's fine, but mocking people who think wireless is a big deal is just nonsense.

It’s on the same level to me as grandma shocked that we can send videos over text.

Wireless is a game changer when I’m playing Pavlov and constantly sweeping back and forth looking for other players or quickly reloading or ducking behind cover or pretty much anything because the worst thing to have happen in a fire fight is to get your arms tangled in your cable.

Sweeping is a bad idea fyi. Identify the most likely position for your enemy to appear and aim at that spot only.
