Hiya, folks! Over this year, I got a huge interest in VR, and I'm planning on purchasing a VR headset and a FBT setup. I'd say I've done a fair bit of research and I've landed on the following two combinations:


Meta Quest 3 128GB

Valve Lighthouse base stations(x2)

HTC Vive 3.0 trackers(x4)

Total: 1.597€;


or alternative


Meta Quest 3 128GB

Slime VR Deluxe Body set (12+4)

Total: 1.270,6€


My planned budget in total is 1.600€.

My planned use for the VR setup is hanging out with my friends in VRChat and possibly making some short form content for social media (IG Reels, YT Shorts). I am also planning on using the headset in PCVR mode only (cable price is included in the totals).

I've seen a few copmarison videos between SlimeVR trackers and Vive 3.0 trackers, and I'm wondering if the price difference is worth it. I am also aware that Slime trackers are drift-prone, but I'm willing to take it as a downside. I am also wondering if there is an alternative setup that might provide me with better performance (better tracking precision), while still being within the budget listed above.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know much about other headsets, but if you're already spending that much you may as well buy an Index. Something you know will work and work good. I can vouch for it, mine's been treating me good.
