This is not the best cable for the Oculus quest.
This is not the best cable for the Oculus quest.
It can be spotty at times when the framerates/ bitrates really pickup in the action during games.
99% of the time it works great, but the black screen drop outs & loss of frames just ruin the total immersive experience that you want to have with Virtual reality. This cable also had the problem of becoming unplugged. I wouldn’t say I am running around like a mad man, but every once in a while, I make a movement that dislodges this cable. It’s just not a snug enough fit to stay in 100% of the time. The worst part is SteamVR crashes when it comes unplugged.
Also, realize this is a USB Gen 3.0 cable. You are severely limited by the data transfer on this cable compared to USB 3.1 Gen 2 cables which have double the Max data transfer speeds.
The best cable I have found on amazon is the WiRoTech USB C 3.1 Gen2 cable. It has been flawless for me for the last 2 weeks. Hope this helps anyone looking to have a flawless VR experience.
