As G2 is out of stock, you can get the Quest 2 as a stop gap https://amzn.to/3o6M4nA.
Get some double sided tape and the foam from your graphics card box. Remove the gasket as you no longer need it. I have NOT cut into any part of the headset, so this is 100 per cent reversible. The cuts are into the foam from an old GPU box.
If for any reason I need to sell or return the unit to HP it will look better than most as the original gasket will be in perfect condition as it is stored safely in its original box.
I really preferred the Valve Index due to the bigger FOV until I did this mod. Now the headsets are on par, with the Reverb G2 being better at close up details such as your guns in Half Life Alyx.
I can reverse this mod easily if an official mod is available, probably in 6 months time.
The sticky tape is not very sticky so everything comes off easily.
Do you ever spend hours looking at the underside of a Ferrari? I never look at it so it never bothers me, as I am straight into VR.



I am in Hong Kong, so the high humdity eventually destroys some cheap PU leather, so foam is much better long term. My Samsung odyssey PU leather is starting to disintegrate.


In order of preference for general VR:
1. Hp Reverb G2 + FOV mod + index knuckles controllers +basestations
2. Valve Index + knuckles +basestations
3=. G2+FOV mod + G2 controllers (with cheap knuckles style mod for controllers)
3=. Vive Cosmos Elite+ Wigig wireless + valve knuckles +basestations
5. Samsung Odyssey+ with knuckles controllers +basestations
6. Samsung Odyssey+ with cheap knuckles style mod for controllers
7. G2 un modded
8. Cosmos Elite+ Wigig wireless and Vive wands and basestations

Star Wars squadrons with G2 + FOV mod +t16000 is awesome!

Horizontal FOV 100, Vertical FOV 91 with mod.


Could not get the text readability test to make any difference, it was always legible and gave the TOO CLOSE message
