    Customers are mixed about the performance of the virtual reality headset. Some mention that it works pretty well, while others say that it doesn't work for their games. The six cameras do incredible work in virtual reality, and the top strap and headband combo work great. However, some customers also say that very few games work with these controllers, and that the standard Cosmos is not a functional product.

    "...Also very few games work with these controllers as they are not mapped for many games...." Read more

    "...sharp than my 4k monitor.. but movies were watchable.. and large text is readable.. even smaller text if you look close and it's centered...." Read more

    "...cons:- many of the games simply dont run or run in some kind of unusable mode, and I cant find any explanations why-..." Read more

    "...I saw that while it supports the faceplate, it doesn't support base cosmos controllers, so I would have to sink in MUCH more money than I initially..." Read more

    "...I actually find the headset to produce quick immersive and well-balanced tones. The audio, to me, sounds pretty darn great...." Read more

    76 customers mention13 positive63 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the tracking of the virtual reality headset. They mention that the controllers track poorly, the headset cannot track precisely, and it falls short where it counts. The tracking is shaky, wobbly, and loses position. Customers also report that the faceplate also can't track the Cosmos controllers. The product has great potential, but it falls flat where it matters most, with bad tracking on artificial lights.

    "...Tracking was jittery/clunky when using the controllers and many times I lost tracking and it would take 2-3 seconds to regain...." Read more

    "...The tracking is not perfect, but they are actively releasing firmware updates and the tracking has improved since I purchased it just 2-3 weeks ago...." Read more

    "...I dont know why they describe it as an advantage. To me, losing tracking all the time makes it useless, really...." Read more

    Terrible
    Terrible, venía hecho un asco, sucio, el vr no es detectado por la PC, el cable que trae no es original ni es compatible, es un cable incorrecto, uno de los mandos está roto, los conectores están maltratados y el cable en mal estado, solo da una luz roja y no enciende
