VR-Tek 2560x1440 Virtual Reality Headset w/ $20 Steam Gift Card Expired

To answer any questions:

Is this an actual VR headset or do I need a phone to put in it?
It is an actual VR headset with all the electronics built in.

Does it have motion controllers and what about the sensors?
It has no motion controllers and it has no sensors other than the ones built into the headset themselves. You must play stationary either standing or sitting, but you dont need to physically move your body.

So then how is this VR?
Its VR as much as Oculus GO and DayDream and GearVR are concerned though using your PC should have way better graphics.

What games can it play?
You can use SteamVR natively. But really you should only be playing games that can be played with a controller, or external device like a racing wheel or flight hotas. So should be perfect for racing games and flight sims.

What about movies and ...stuff?
Yes.

I heard its got bad motion blur, only runs at 60hz and makes users wanna throw up?
Could be, spend the 10 or 25 dollars and find out yourselves... but you should know a new software update was released recently and at least in the case of the 1440 version the frame-rate goes to 90-120hz now.

I do use Steam so the gift card will be used, but I don't know if I should risk getting this for $10 or $25?
Then don't and stop burying this thread because you're too chicken to spend the price of a lunch on something potentially awesome.



Additional questions:

So what it the difference between the two - why is the power spec'd version more expensive?
It isn't. The 1440 x 1440 version is per eyeball, 2 times 1440 x 1440. The single 2560 x 1440 is a single screen split into two. Effectively 1280 x 1440 per eye, but since its the same physical screen you can't adjust for IPD which is how far apart your eyes are.

Okay, so what is IPD and why is it worth $15 more here?
IPD is the distance from your eye to your other eye. In the low-end model you cannot adjust this as they share the same screen. You will still be able to see, but depending on how far off your eyes are dead center from the default position it can cause various degrees of irritation and fatigue. Having dual screen in the pricier version allows this IPD adjustment making it literally easier on the eyes.

Back to the controls and games... what exactly can I play?
This comes with a wireless adapter as well as a wireless controller. Go into Steam and search for all their VR games. Go to the filters and check "Full Controller Support". You'll get a list of games you can use with a controller - those are the ones you can use with this system. Along with any game that can use custom controls like a Hotas for flight sims or a racing wheel for racing games - those should all work great too.
examples include: Elite: Dangerous, Resident Evil 7, Lucky Tales, Skyrim VR, Dirt Rally

What about support, I'm not much a techno-geek and might need help.
Sorry... It sucks, but part of the cheap cost is the lack of premium stuff like proper support. I hate to say it, but if you need more help than what Google can provide, and/or have high expectations for a flawless setup... its best you just skip this.

Are you a shill?
I could be if this product turns out to be good for what I expect... if not, this will get flamed to hell from me any time someone else posts it

2560 total on a single screen. 1440 version is 1440 PER EYE.

Any source on 90-120hz?
