I was wrong.
This morning, I had to grab a few items from my VR Dungeon and I
noticed abrasions on the padding of my Vive deluxe strap. Uh oh. Another
quick trip to Twitter confirmed that I wasn’t the only one who noticed
this.
The fact that NOBODY noticed this, is probably a bad thing. I feel like
if I ripped this padding off (it IS completely replaceable) and tossed
it into a glass of water, it would dissolve surprisingly quick. Not the
best material to stick on a part of the body that loves to sweat.
Pretty funny that the makers of the Gadget of the Year, whose gadget revolves around standing room-scale experiences which does lead to sweat far more than sit-down experiences, didn't test their "deluxe" strap's ability to... get wet 😄

lmao, do you think they'll be able to stop sales and get these things recalled before it turns into a really big problem? It's not like the hapless customers who bought these can just work around the defect; I've seen a few Vive Let's Plays and I don't think any human being can wear one for longer than twenty minutes without sweat pouring out of their head..
Maybe now HTC will learn that they can't just rush products onto the market carelessly to compete with Oculus' advantages. (not that they know how to do it any other way :wink: )

Also why compete with Rifts advantages, when Vive has sold more by any estimate we have to go by?
