I have tried everything at this point and I can't get this thing to work properly, hoping somebody has a new way to try and fix this.

Today after a few months of not playing I discovered that with the last windows-update microsoft decided to stop further support for "Windows-Mixed-Reality", making my HP Reverb G2 and all other WMR-based VR device essentially worthless. I am angry ... ok...., but I want to buy a new VR headset. Since I would never buy a Meta VR or one from a smaller competitor (made this mistake once) I basically have to decide between oculus, htc and valve. Since support for different games has always been a huge problem...

i wanted to have this before 31 and was going to buy it like RIGHT NOW super hyped and excited no stock :( any clues on when they will be back on?

I have enough of everyone saying to get the meta quest 3 or bigscreen beyond. I know that those exist. I just want to know if the Valve Index is really as fragile as people say and how bad is stick drift because I found a full kit used for €625. And if the valve index is so fragile would I be better off looking for a used htc vive pro 1/2 or just getting the meta quest 3?...

Is it possible to start valve index with mouse and keyboard? Sometime I want to work on a larger screen than my monitor for example
