    Has anyone upgraded to the Rift S? I'm worried that the built in tracking may not react well to a motion sim bouncing around, but the idea that I can ditch those sensors and free up some USB ports sounds great.

    Thanks in advance.

    Where do you buy rift s from? It's sad that Amazon and the official website are out of stock for a month.

    Microsoft stores have them in stock. Not sure where you're located, but I got mine at the Beachwood Ohio location.

    Thank you for the information, but unfortunately now the Microsoft store has become out of stock too. It looks like the rifts are not available all over the world:confused:

    You need to call your local store. All 3 stores within a few hours drive said sold out. All three had them when I called.

    Ibhave posted about the Rift S before and an scn5 seat mover.

    I can not use the Rift S as its picks up tinys jitters and the screen or the headset move and jitters.

    This is with Dirt Rally not tested on other sims but it shakes too much and ypu see that with the image you see as its reacting to the rig judder and sends me dizzy.
    I had to go back to the CV1.
    I have for got to try different face covee to see if that helps.
    I really should buy some to test out.
    It is possible the foam is far too light and the wobbles is there.

    I will try to report back.
    Soon as i get some face covers.
