I won't be getting a new headset until after I upgrade my PC, which will probably turn into building a new PC. I'm on a 5950x right now but its broken and I have to run it on manual clocks which loses me a lot of performance I would otherwise get from having PBO etc. enabled. Works well enough for the basic stuff I do, and not much point in replacing the CPU, nor upgrading to latest since new stuff will be out soon enough. Not upgrading GPU until new Nvidia stuff is out which is probably 2 years out.
So by time new GPUs are out there will be at least 1 new generation of CPUs out I could upgrade to and build a whole new rig.
Also, the headset itself is open source 3d printed. You can buy just the important bits from them, such as pcb, lenses etc. pre built, and print the rest yourself
I am runnning my apparently obsolete Reverb G2 on an RTX2060 Super, if you can believe it. Most of the time it's fine in MSFS with medium settings, and DCS is no problem (but then I don't do multiplayer much so that probably makes a difference).
Am I correct in my interpretation of the official Rhino diagram pdf that the dimensions of a mounting plate that would fit perfectly under the unit would be 180mm x 180.32mm?
Once you get the FOV mod I'd say it's still pretty much one of the best. The clarity on the Reverb is just superb. I've seen some comparisons to some Pico headsets that have a higher resolution but the clarity is quite a bit worse so you don't gain anything and you'd lose some FPS

Hey m8 I can't say for sure but I haven't seen anyone asking money for the diy design plans/files, though I think ppl were working on offering diy kits to go with the motor kits from vpforce. Check out #showcase & #diy-builds for the ppl that have made their own & ask if they have plans/files.
@walmis I read that the VKB adapter has 6 set screws to connect it to a DIY extension solution, is this correct and if so, where would they be located? And also, if one were to use tubes to mount the adapter, what would be a recommended inner diameter for these? Thanks.
What @PiNKMuD said but there are designs pinned in this Discord in the diy-builds channel. Links to the necessary files point to Github repositories. There you can find the link to pull it all down as a zip file.

3d Printed unit is holding up just fine. No creaks or tweaks. Use Carbon PETG for the gimbal and stick assembly and should work fine and last a long time.
