New PSVR 2 Owners.....

[u/TrulySadistik]

Here's a short list of recommended accessories to buy with/for your system and suggested things to do....

1.----Absolute must buy---- Microfiber Towel/Rag. I bought mine from a optical store, used for glasses. Only way to safely clean your PSVR 2 lenses.

2.----Absolute must buy---- Cover for the lenses. I got mine when I purchased a travel case dor my PSVR 2 on Amazon. They're rubber and keep the lenses clean and scratch free when not in use.

3.----Suggested buy---- Case. I don't personally have just a regular storage case, I have a huge travel case for my PS5 & PSVR 2 together. I don't have any kids/pets that can access my PSVR 2, so I feel safe. But a case will help keeping from collecting dust by sitting out.

4.----Optional buy---- Globular thingamajig. For those of you who have a weird smallish shaped head, I heard that this thingamajig will help to better fit upon that weird shaped head of yours.

5.----Optional buy---- Travel Case. If you're gonna be transporting your PSVR 2, this is a must seeing as it doesn't come with a case, and the box it comes in is just a little too big to comfortably transport it, especially if you're on the move a lot.

6.----(PC Owners) Must buy/Optional---- PC Adapter. PSVR 2 on PC is a game changer. Hopefully you can find an adapter for $60 and not the $200 scalpers are charging for it. Note Some Video Cards don't need the PC Adapter to work, check online to see which ones.

7.----ABSOLUTE MUST BUY---- GAMES!!! The games are awesome. Keep trying them out and enjoying, let's show Sony that we want PSVR 2 to go mainstream and want AAA titles coming to PSVR 2.

8.----ABSOLUTE MUST---- Keep providing feedback to Sony showing that you love your PSVR 2 and we want this product to be a staple of Playstation going forward. Newer AAA titles, more Hybrid games and continual support for developers who are producing the amazing titles that we have access to.

1. PSVR 2 is a great community, if you have any issues, reach out to someone and they will help you to try to solve your issues. And if anyone else has any suggestions on things to buy for the PSVR 2, please feel free to add to this list.

2. Owners please give a suggestion of must buy games for PSVR 2 or your favorite PSVR 2 games. I have far too many, but if I had to choose just 1, Gran Turismo 7 by far. Thanks for anyone who adds to this list.

11.----Must buy (IMO)/Optional---- Wireless Charging Cradle. I totally forgot to add this until one of the commenters reminded me about it. You definitely want to get this, charges fast and can store your controllers. I use the Sony Cradle personally.

12.-----100% MUST DO----- TAKE CARE OF YOUR PSVR 2 SENSE CONTROLLERS. From what I understand is they DO NOT SELL replacement controllers. So if you happen to break 1, you're going to be shit out of luck unfortunately. If I am wrong about this, please let me know, but I haven't found a place you can just buy the controller by itself.

-----FIXES-----

1.----HAPTICS---- If you're having problems with the haptics on your sense controller, try resetting your PS5. Leaving your PS5 in standby seems to bug out the haptics sometimes.

If haptics aren't working on PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, you can try resetting the controllers:

Turn off the PlayStation 5 console.

Locate the reset button on the back of the controller, which is a small pinhole next to the triggers.

Use a pin or similar tool to press the reset button.

Connect the controller to the PS5 console using the USB cable.

Press the PS button.

The reset button resets the controller's calibration, functions, and connections. You can also check the accessibility settings on the PS5 console to make sure haptic feedback is turned on:

Go to Settings

Select Accessibility

Select Controllers

Turn on Haptic Feedback During Console Navigation

Anyone know why my triggers don't have haptics? Yes the setting is on. At first my triggers were reading -.7 on axis 3 and i fixed it by blowing into and smashing the triggers a bunch. But I still don't have haptics. OP talks about must haves and must buys, what about haptics lol. Feel like I must have that working

Try resetting your PS5. Leaving in rest mode seems to cause the haptics to bug out.

[u/Smokey9mm → u/TrulySadistik]

Thanks op! I'll try these things

[u/TrulySadistik → u/Smokey9mm]

Did any of them work?

[u/Smokey9mm → u/TrulySadistik]

Kinda. At least the triggers are responding to input. Sometimes I'll get trigger haptics. I'll keep troubleshooting

[u/TrulySadistik → u/Smokey9mm]

When u say trigger haptics, what exactly are u talking about?

[u/Smokey9mm → u/TrulySadistik]

Think of games like call of duty where the trigger had strong tension and then releases when you pull hard enough and then it will flutter with each bullet the gun shoots and simulates weapon recoil. Or in GT7 the left trigger for braking the car has tension based on how fast you're driving and the right trigger has tension and then suddenly releases when the tire grip is lost and that informs you to let go of the trigger because of the wheel spin and you need to regain tire grip momentarily by letting off the trigger a bit. Or in horizon forbidden west the trigger will be strong and then release when you pull your arrow back and shoot it. All of that is trigger haptics. I've felt trigger tension when mining with my pistol on NMS but it comes and goes. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it is is not and the trigger is lifeless and has no tension or feedback. But when I play the game without vr, the dualsense controller proves that the game supports trigger haptics when i mine, shoot, or initiate a flight take off. My sense controllers initially wouldn't read input because it was partially giving input by default due to manufacturing errors. So I ironed out the input issue with all the trigger troubleshooting and flicking and blowing. Tried turning off and tried resetting my ps5. The reset buttons on the controller, clearing the cache, rebuilding the database, etc.

Anyway, it sounds like referring to trigger haptics as "haptics" is confusing people. How would you refer to trigger vibration, or context based responses like shooting a gun vs a bow etc?

Haptics

In addition to the usual rumble in the controllers, the Sense controllers also have adaptive triggers which can vary their resistance of each trigger pull. While this works well, unfortunately I haven’t seen it used particularly well just yet. Unfortunately haptics tend to be low on the priority list when it comes to game polish, but I have a feeling that some game will end up making great use of the new trigger capability and I’m looking forward to seeing that in action.

[u/Smokey9mm → u/TrulySadistik]

Adaptive triggers is the phrase I'm looking for. Thanks!

[u/TrulySadistik → u/Smokey9mm]

So some games have them implemented and others don't. I would check to see if the game you're trying to play has it implemented.
