I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. I find it silly that there was no explanation for Meta using Fiber Optic cable. Which is exactly why the cable is so much more expensive. Fiber optic is truly scary how much power, data, speed it can hold. I feel like this is a review for the shopper whos just looking for a quick fix to save 30 bucks. Weight? Length? Bendy vibes? The cable is fiber optic because in 6 months the level of vr games will multiply by 50. Think long run, do your research. Saving a buck or two wont prevent you from being upset your new vr game is glitchy 8 months from now. Lastly with comparison why do you not give in depth side by side footage of each cable and their gameplay? Cheers.

I went through 3 different USB A to USB C cables when I got my Quest 2 a few months back. An Amazon Basics 16ft, The Syntech 16ft and the Kiwi 16ft. With the Amazon and Syntech cables I was always loosing connection after about 10-15min of playtime and would just get sent back to the quest home screen. I have now been using the Kiwi 16 ft for about 5 months now, and I have never lost connection even once. So far Kiwi has been my go to brand for Quest accessories #notsponsored

I literally showed the price of the official link cable and srsly, we were both kinda shocked because, its a link cable... i know it has to transfer good quality signal and everything but if there is a company that can do that at a way cheaper price then im going for that instead.

It's good quality overall from a IT-Professional perspective although my Mainboard does wonky things and sometimes my Quest 2 won't charge and the Oculus App reports bad bandwidth. Issue is, that is with all USB 3.1 Gen2 / USB 3.1 Gen1 ports :( Since I recently upgraded my hardware (Processor, Mainboard) I will opt to get a USB-C to USB-C cable. Higher bandwidth, higher wattage. Overall better choice IMO.

@1:57 Theoretical limit on 3.1 is 10gbps on two lanes. However, the Quests XR2's USB host controller can only handle 2.5gbps. Its hardcapped at that, no matter what cable you use you will never get more than that. It also makes Meta's optical capable completely pointless, as sixteen feet of cable wouldn't induce enough line noise to degrade those transfer rates. As for your PC end of things, the most important spec is your VRAM. Rendering anything at 4k VR will easily push upwards of 20gb's of video memory, unless its exceptionally well optimized for PCVR (which most games are not)

I get 3.2 Gbps when I run the Oculus App link cable test on my Quest 2. Other than being wireless, is that better than using Airlink connected directly to a pc with an on-board wifi 6 mobile hotspot? Does it matter with the amount of actual data? Is there a difference in latency? Thanks in advance.

@MyTechGearGaming Жыл бұрын

3.2Gbps is more than enough for PCVR gaming on your quest 2. 'Better' is all a bit subjective too. If you're happy with what you're playing on then does the data rate matter? Wired will always be the easiest to set up as it's less prone to external issues. However, if you get your wireless setup right then you get true wireless PCVR gaming, which is just awesome! As long as it's "fast enough", and this applies to wireless as much as it does to 'wired' connections, then you'll be fine no matter what you play on.

Greait video, but i have a question. Does the Kiwi cable charge my vr headset while being connected to my pc and playing vr games?

To some degrees, yes. I covered this in a bit more detail in this video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLmBaM9imuDdgIk.html

i have a oculus cable and it just broke lasted about a year and a bit. i pulled it only a little bit when it was plugged in and it bent and doesn't work so i would recommend getting a metal ranforced cable

I assume they're talking about this one amzn.to/3cGjiJW I haven't tried it myself but looks OK on paper. I would just be careful of using the USB-A adapter as that would make the connection plug to your PC quite long and could place a strain on the both the USB-C cable and USB port on your PC, depending on how you have it set up.

Nice video! Very helpful, I would say. Thank you! =) But not very useful for people like me. I have an Oculus Rift S. It would be very interesting to know what one of the best cables for the *Rift S* is. I'm searching for one. I already had two cables from Oculus / Meta and they were pretty bad. I'm glad I didn't pay anything for them.

My experience with Cable matters company’s link cable is bad. Its so disappointing. I attached the cable with the type c port on my PC and Quest2 type c on the other end. It showed charging instantly in the oculus quest2 but there was no effect. It was draining at the same pace even if I had not used it at all.. PC was also not connected like the default type c cable. Even when the quest2 was turned off it was not actually able to charge it. The percentage remained same after 10 mins when I restarted the headset.

I hope my issue is the length for mine. I’ve bought two different brands at 20ft long and they get a 2.5gb connection but will not connect to steam VR despite all the tutorials, rebooting, unknown services blah blah blah.

@DreadKyller 5 ай бұрын

One factor not considered here is longevity. The official cable being optical fiber means it'll be less likely to degrade from repeated bending of the cable, so it in theory should last considerably longer. Higher price but replace less often. That is the theory, whether in practice it works out that way I don't know, because no one has really done the test to see how various cables maintain quality over a year or two.

@stewie420k4 4 ай бұрын

It is not a fiber optic cable if that is what you are trying to say.

Hello. How can i stream vr from my rift S or quest 3 to discord? I know i can screen share or share a page, but i can't get sound in there. When i share my game my friend gets to see two screens. Is there any software availalble for this? I tried voicemeeter and such but i don't want the sound to come through my microphone. There seems to be no easy fix... 😢

So is it absolutely necessary to have a super big graphics card to connect to the PC? Could I just connect to my laptop with some lighter applications? What about a wireless connection?

@MyTechGearGaming Жыл бұрын

Hi James. No, you don't need a super high end graphics card to play PCVR games. As long as your laptop meets the minimum pc spec you'll be fine. I've released several other videos that cover wireless and wired setups, which includes the specs of the kit you need, so be sure to check those out. 😊

i think im gonna get the kiwi design one, although i wonder if usb c to c is better than 3.0 to C, whats the difference?

@MyTechGearGaming Жыл бұрын

Usb c or USB A are the connector types whereas USB 3.0 or whatever number is the spec of the cable ( I.e. it’s theoretical max charging and data transfer speeds). Generally a USB c to usb c cable is faster just due to the fact that the ports on the pc generally support higher speeds as it’s a newer port type. Either will work though. You will find that usb c cables are often more expensive so just be cognisant of that.
