Looking for a Reverb G2 (V2) cable

[vipgroup]

Does anyone have a spare G2 cable gathering dust? I think mine has a short in it and I am looking for a replacement. I am in Canada. Let me know, and your price etc, by private message.

I may have one. I had a G2 but replaced it with an Occlus Quest 3. I am the type who never throws anything away. I may have the cable in my attic. Give me a day or two to go up there and look.

I apologize Kenneth. I was wrong. I couldn't fine the G2. I now think I threw it away...get this...because the cable went bad. My suggestion would be to do what I did, get a Quest 3. They are cheaper now then when I purchased mine. If you do buy a Quest, the 250GB memory model is all you need for MSFS. The extra internal memory is only if you want to store games inside the headset.

I use mine with Virtual Desktop (a $20USD purchase) and no cable. I use it with a 5GHz router that is connected to the computer via a CAT 5 cable. MSFS with Virtual Desktop doesn't do well with Wi-Fi, too much info going from the router to the computer. A Virtual Desktop setup will run wireless from the computer to your Quest 3 and is almost automatic.

Let me know if you want or need more info.

Thanks John. I appreciate you looking, and also the advice given. I'll continue with the 50-inch TV for now, although I find it boring after the 3D environment of VR. Working on getting a new writing venture going, and must watch my spending for the next little while. The new VR can be a reward for early success!!

Regards

Had my best flight with the Quest 3 after reading this and purchasing Virtual Desktop, I had no stutters. I was using it wired before, this is much better. Thanks John.
