Good luck with the PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter — you'll need it

The $ 550 PSVR 2 is still a good headset, with image quality that arguably beats the newer $ 500 Meta Quest 3.

Playing Half-Life Alyx inside Sony ’s headset isn’t just more vibrant thanks to the richer colors of its OLED screen.

Sony provides no way to connect the PlayStation VR2's all-important controllers.

It lost positional tracking, meaning I could still rotate my hand, even squeeze the triggers, but not move it anywhere.

I have no issues with the Quest 3’s controllers in the same space, so I don’t think my room or lighting is interfering with tracking.

I’ve repeatedly seen the entire experience grind to a halt, on multiple PCs, just by trying to access the SteamVR overlay.
