I bought an Oculus Quest in August, mainly because of the fitness apps I was seeing on my social media. See, the pandemic had me stuck at home and I needed something other than Zoom yoga to keep my body moving.

It was a huge hit with everyone in my household. Supernatural and Beat Saber kept us all moving, and the ability to escape our tiny home to expansive worlds like Moss and Shadow Point made quarantine much more enjoyable after six months.

Then I discovered the Quest 2, just a month after I bought the original Quest. It was supposed to be lighter, brighter, and higher resolution. It promised better controllers and a lower price. I pre-ordered it, because that's the kind of gearhead I am.

I’ve had the new Oculus Quest 2 in my warm hands for about a week now and it’s every bit as good as I expected, but there are a few caveats.
