We also resorted to reducing the rendering quality in the Pimax PiTool software and cut back the render scale in SteamVR.īut the latest updates to the PiTool software have brought incredible performance improvements. In our pre-production review, to get somewhat acceptable frame rate results, we did most of our testing with the headset set to the reduced-resolution Normal FOV setting. While you could sit there and tweak the resolutions settings for each individual game to get better results than we achieved, the out-of-the-box experience was quite poor. When we last looked at the 5K Plus, we had a really hard time getting reasonable performance out of the device. How useful this hand-tracking sensor will become is a matter of development support. If Pimax manages to grab a big enough chunk of the VR headset market, it could spur new developer interest in Leap Motion’s platform. Unlike our early experiences with the Leap Motion developer kit, Pimax’s version of the Leap Motion sensor just works. However, seeing fully articulated fingers in AltspaceVR, a VR social platform, brought back that sense of wonder we felt the first time we played with a Leap Motion sensor. We’ve experimented with the Leap Motion developer kit in the past, but this is the first time we've had the pleasure of using Leap Motion’s second-generation sensors with software from Leap Motion developer Orion, and the improvements are significant.įew games support Leap Motion’s hand-tracking. The Leap Motion sensor worked surprisingly well. Pimax and Leap Motion announced their official partnership at CES this year, alongside the announcement that its 5K Plus, 5K BE and 8K headsets will now have embedded Leap Motion modules with a 180-degree FOV. Our 5K Plus review sample included a USB attachment for the Leap Motion sensor. The hand-tracking module ended up being a second-generation Leap Motion sensor that attaches to the bottom of the 5K Plus, as well as the Pimax 8K.
When Pimax ran its Kickstarter campaign, it said it would eventually have a variety of accessories for its headsets, including an eye-tracking module, scent module and hand-tracking module.

To use the 5K Plus to its full potential (ie: use room-scale tracking), you must source controllers and base stations from a Vive or Vive Pro system. Its current price doesn’t include controllers or base stations. Pimax originally sold the 5K Plus on Kickstarter for $399. Kickstarter backers are supposed to get the upgraded head strap when it’s released, but retail customers will pay extra for the upgrade.

Pimax is working on a mechanical strap upgrade like the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap, which would include headphones and presumably correct some of the fitment concerns that the fabric strap introduces. HTC asks for more for the Vive Pro ($799), but at least you get a comfortable, mechanically adjustable head strap with built-in headphones on a device that can take some abuse. And the headset doesn't include headphones. For $699 we expect more. The straps don't provide a snug, comfortable fit. The 5K Plus has a 3-point Velcro harness, which keeps the headset on your face but that’s about it.
Neither of our sample units have any markings indicating that these are in fact 5K Plus units, as opposed to the 5K Pimax crowdfunded, though it’s our understanding that Pimax never ended up producing the base 5K. Our pre-production model was called a Model P2, and our new unit is a Model 5K.

Surprisingly, the only noticeable physical difference is a different model name on the serial number sticker. While the initial 5K Plus we tested was a pre-production model, this time Pimax sent us a headset right off the production line.
