Wonder if I can do Oculus Quest + PC Link + Index controllers. Don't really want to buy an Index, but the controllers look really nice. Also considering Quest since my biggest gripe before was the wired headset and how heavy it was overall.

I'm not sure about the index controllers with a Quest but the game is supported on the Quest via the link cable it seems: https://half-life.com/en/alyx/vr

Basically anything the Rift can do, the Quest can do too.

In order to make this work, hardware-wise, you'd need the lighthouses, too.

So I'm assuming that means that Valve programs this in a way that dictates the hardware, instead of having an abstraction layer that accepts player position, viewpoint and hand inputs regardless of the hardware?

Is that something you have a source to confirm?

I would like to think that if Quest is going to release a way to hook up to the PC to play SteamVR, they'll be sending all that positional data from the headset tracking to the PC through the link.

I have a Vive, just been cagey about updating. The Quest looks like the kind of casual experience that I wanted after having a Vive since launch.
