I'm sure everyone already knew that but it is a much better experience.
Installing was simple enough, updated all my drivers and lighthouses. Re-sink the controllers and it fired right up. Vive Pro runs smooth no dropped FPS or anything I could see with my setup Skylake/1080
Text is much clearer, screen door effect is way more subtle, colors are a lot more vibrant.
The whole unit is larger. the face piece part especially, I wear glasses and they fit snug in the gen 1 Vive, now I have room for days. Perfect for larger glasses. WAY more comfortable to wear, the gen 1 would always bother my head where the rear strap was after a while. I feel l could wear this as long as I wanted.
Not a fan of the built in speakers, I feel like my ears are getting tea bagged by them. I like my Man O' Wars.
They say the nose part is better and while it fells a lot better on the nose, I have more light coming in than from the gen 1. (I have a fairly small nose)
All in all I'm happy, This is what I wanted when I got the first Vive, This is really something more like you gotta have over need to have. I'm a weird guy when it comes to my tech, I gotta have the best shit and I always feel like I live in the future with 90's technology.
I was 12 when Lawnmower Man came out...
