Baden of WGB: "Like mice there are a wealth of keyboards on the market that are aimed at gamers, from the cheap and cheerful to the expensive and flashy to those that are more likely to bring about Skynet and the subsequent death of humanity. There aren’t quite as many compact keyboards, though, the kind that can be tossed in a bag and taken round to a local tournament. Companies tend to deliver more and more iterations of their full designs, but now Logitech has entered the fray with G410 which boasts a small size and the company’s own special switches. The smaller size and lightweight design are aimed squarely at E-sports gamers or those who travel a lot to different events, and yet even the average user can see some benefits from adopting this more compact design."

Meta revealed that an Xbox VR headset was on the way back in 2024, so where is it? And what form can we expect it to take?
Yea, the problem is that the games worth playing in VR in Microsoft's catalog do not run on Meta OS. Hands down one of the best VR experiences I've had was MS Flight Simulator, and you need a beast of a system to run it well! The one thing that could push Meta headsets is an "official" release of Minecraft VR. You had to do some workarounds before to get it running in VR (which is an amazing experience, I don't actually play the game flat), but they just removed all VR support for the game after an update at the end of March. Bring it back with an official, easy to use Meta Quest version. I wouldn't buy an XBox branded Quest, but I'd at least like to see them do a bigger push into VR. Doubt they'd do it bc it's still so niche, and they're struggling atm and trimming the fat as it is. (But omg, would I kill for an official Forza Horizon in VR w wheel support!!)
I'm not sure that a Metaquest with an Xbox logo slapped on it constitutes it being an "Xbox" headset. But whatever.
Hololens is a damn cool kit... problem is price. So if there was a cheaper 2.0, I'd be down for that. I know you are trying to make a dig, that just shows you never experienced it.
