markturner1960 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Hi, my wife recently got a Quest 3 for herself, but I am keen to try it out as a comparison, I currently use a Quest Pro. Whats the quickest / easiset way to try it out on my PC? Add it as another device in the mobile app? Will it matter she used a different account to set it up? Once connected to the app, whats the best way to use the Q3? Via the same cable I use for my Quest pro ( which is not the standard link cable, but an aftermarket charging cable) I hear talk of VD etc.....is this needed ?

diego999 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I have a Quest 2 but I'll try to help. - I think you can use multiple devices on the same account in the app, or multiple accounts with the same device. - For me cable was always the best option. Any quality USB-C cable will do, all Quest models can use the same one. Airlink in my case was inconsistent, with random stutters and loss of visual quality. VD is better than Airlink, it has more options, but is wireless only so if you want to connect by cable you can't even use VD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splash Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I'm using a USB 3.0 cable like this one: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0BWY1K4SM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 According to the test in Oculus app I'm getting 2.5 - 2.8 Gbps, so it is good. While playing it is slowly discharging the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterIsDead Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Should be the same as your Pro. Just add the device in your desktop oculus app I7-10700F | RTX4070 FE | 32G RAM | Quest 2/3 | TM T16000 HOTAS & Throttle | F/A-18C | F-14A/B | F-15C | A-10 II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
