The Best VR Headset – Pimax Crystal Light Update
What I want to talk about today is that they basically fixed this thing. Now, I did actually do a review on the Pimax Crystal Light a while ago, and I said, “You know what? It’s a really good headset.” It’s a little bit on the heavy side if you want to use it for hours and hours on end, but it looks great. And it’s like almost amazing, but the tracking, it just wasn’t great.
And thankfully, they’ve made some massive progress due to the feedback me and others have given them. And now the inside-out tracking is pretty dang good. Now, it’s not perfect. It still has some judder issues from time to time, but it’s a massive improvement over where it was. However, honestly, that’s not even what I want to talk about today.
What I want to talk about is actually the base station tracking for this thing, because yes, you can buy a faceplate for this tank and actually use a base station, which surprise, surprise has much better tracking than even the updated inside-out tracking, which is honestly very surprising. In fact, and I will tell you guys this right now, the Pimax Crystal Light, and you might not believe this, but this thing has the best tracking I have ever experienced out of any headset, bar none, period, with base stations, even better than the MeganX 8K Super Light, because that headset from time to time, for whatever reason, my left controller would go a little bit out of sync.

Are you getting the super?
with tarrifs nothing is going to be getting cheaper anytime soon.
*EDIT : After doing more research and going through my system specs again, I noticed I actually had a massive CPU bottleneck that I was unaware would be an issue for VR specifically. I’m building a new pc soon anyways, but for anyone with similar issues, definitely double check you’re not being bottle necked*
I’m having such a bad time with this headset as of late. I’m having bad tracking issues that I didn’t really have before. I don’t want to buy baystations because I share this room, but I’m to the point I want to just buy a quest 3 and get rid of this thing.
hope to see the bsb2 🥰
See if Pimax will lend you a crystal super for review, slimer with bigger FOV, resolution and 1000 local dimming zones per eye
Has the controller tracking gotten better since the previous review?
I love mine, but the size and weight had me pre-order a BSB2E. Idk if I will keep the BSB2E order or not, it won’t ship until July so I have lots of time.
Meganex controller tracking issue is probably because they give you a dongle to plug in to your pc as opposed to having the receiver inside the headset.
Nah, most people dont care about VR.
Lol, It’s hilarious. You saying Pimax should make a "Pimax Crystal Super" Light…
Super? I think you did that on purpose.
Thank you for doing a update on this
The Crystal Light is not $599. That’s just the down payment.
The thing nearly weighs as much as the index
Are you using 1.0 basestations? Me and my friends are experiencing appaling tracking from two different pimax headsets using 2.0 basestation setups, which work absolutely great for different hmds
Anyone know how to get reshade to work with PimaxXR? I clicked on the openxr for reshade but it never seems to work. I can bring up the menu when taking off headset, but the reshade never applies.
