Can any of these work without some idiotic third-party account?
If you’re just talking about WMR devices (and not VR in general), then no, they don’t require an account. The Reverb G2 is the most supported by Monado (and has the best hardware), but I’d try to get the V2 revision. And the cable is a common failure point, so could be an issue with a used purchase.
Looks like Monado is our only hope. Pathetic support from Microsoft but hopefully it will be fully supported in Linux in the next few years.
It’s worked pretty well ok for me, but I only really sim race so it’s all stationary and no controllers.
Highly recommend setting up Envision so it can build and setup the Monado/XR environment
I might try one second hand if they’re cheap. Can any of these work without some idiotic third-party account?
… I’d replace the padding on any used device, though, that is a little gross now that I consider it.
