Blurry image on PSVR2? - WATCH THIS NEXT kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2rXZoJtr8tjedk

[@user-tf3xw3gf7p]

When I play VR 2, the controller gives me a white signal. Is this normal?

[@SplendidAthlete]

Yes! Now I can play until my eyes falls clean out of the socket! On a serious note, it is very good to know that these exist. Thank you for this video.

[@EatSleepVR]

Haha - thanks for the comment

[@joppekim]

I went in to this video thinking you were gonna show me a powerbank to have in my pocket while have it connected to the controllers but this was an eye opening solution i didn't know about.

[@matthewhardwick8208]

I would recommend waiting until Sony sells these controllers separately. Because currently the only ones available are the ones you get included with PSVR 2 itself. So if 1 of them breaks or the battery is damaged you can't replace it or even play games.

[@Raptorialand]

Sony made this battery absolute bad, so people will buy controllers soon. It works perfectly.

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

Word of warning: I plugged a 5000ah external battery to my sense controllers. It worked for one night. The second night, my right co troller showed it wasn’t charging. I set it back down on the charging dock and it still wouldn’t charge. I reset my PS5, and plugged it in and it started charging again. The external battery on the right controller was also very hot to the touch. These things can cause damage. I’m just glad mine is charging properly again.

[@drippythegamecat5365]

Thanks Rich! Didn't know these existed and this solves the 1 issue i was having with the psvr 2

[@brettharperspodcast]

Great idea. Im sure someone out there could create a 3D printed housing to clip onto the controllers also as i would be concerned about knocking the controller on the body or an external object to then damage the the port on the controller.

[@EatSleepVR]

Yes I was concerned about this as well - I only use this as a backup if I’ve forgotten to keep the controllers charged up

[@RedEyeReality]

On that note… the hunt is off

[@garynguyen3548]

I just got so annoyed at the battery life was in the middle of an online game and my controller died after just a few hours. Great idea! FYI, the Amazon US link you have is dead.

[@EatSleepVR]

This always seems to be out of stock which is why the link has stopped - just search for capsule powerbanks on Amazon 👍

[@mekillsondeck]

you just earned a sub for that video. i was going to buy a small light weight vest, and run the USB cable down my arms and go that route with lager power banks . These capsules seem much quicker and easier to use. Sony really needs to come up with a after market product to solve this though.

[@EatSleepVR]

Thanks for subscribing and for the comment, much appreciated

[@Ace6amer]

​@@EatSleepVR I was in the exact same boat, paddling right next to this guy. Sometimes you just need another 30min on some of the more active games that eat through the juice. Make that 2x subs for this pro tip. Thank you for taking the time!

[@EatSleepVR]

@@Ace6amer thanks for the sub much appreciated

[@bodycheck6594]

The controllers are now much heavier and the battery does not sit properly, for example if you move your hand up and down, the battery has up to 2mm of play.

[@101wilku101]

Great idea , if you hit something with this contraption, you got yourself a pretty expensive thing to fix . Standalone controller is enough to play couple hours a day, other time is for doing different things .

[@Asubie]

Agree, we don't even know how much Sony is going to charge when they release the controller. Not worth risking.

[@Sabre_Wulf1]

Yeh, mine bricked the left controller. No light. I purchased and used the exact same chargers after watching this video. (Genuinely, I have no alterior reason to say this and have nothing against the channel, I actually thought this was a great idea tbh). They did work great for 1 night, then whilst I was using the headset, the left controller went dead and never charged again.

[@oneluv66]

Thanks for the warning, I already bricked a ps5 controller with an after market charger, not going to make the same mistake again with the psvr 2 ones.

[@Sabre_Wulf1]

@@oneluv66 mate, if you bought through Sony direct...you don't need that hassle, it took me 3 weeks to get a new one. Not worth the hassle.

[@cemeter1832]

Awesome, thanks!!!

[@robertsanchez9417]

Bro your the greatest, just made my life way better!

[@RMF-Media]

Great video! Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@jtins10]

I wanted to try out before i posted but if anyone went through what i did with the vr2 controllers dying on you when your invested in a game I've found a solution. I found the dual USB C multi charging cable 4ft on Amazon for about $10 and the 12' USB 2.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension cable at Best Buy for $10 I also seen at Walmart. Just thought I'd share.

[@BeFreeBeHappyJC]

The funny thing is most of the items in UK on Amazon say currently out of stock and don’t know when will come back in good idea however I am sure Sony will resolve this

[@EatSleepVR]

Yeah I’ve stopped taking accessories that are offered for review now because I make a video and then they’re out of stock straightaway before the video has gone out - I think the smaller manufacturers just can’t keep up with the demand or just didn’t plan very well ahead

[@Slyfox1775]

1.5-2hrs max I’m done playing in vr .

[@EatSleepVR]

I agree - this just helps if like me you always forget to charge the controllers - it’s a good backup

[@kuramakun84]

Nice thanks for the info. Unfortunately I can’t play VR more than an hour or I get dizzy lol

[@EatSleepVR]

Haha yeah I know what you mean - I have GT7 and I’m worried that will make me sick in 5 minutes lol - haven’t played it yet

[@kuramakun84]

@@EatSleepVR Honestly GT7 doesn’t get me Dizzy I was able to play for like 2hrs yesterday. But Pavlov (Great game btw) gets me dizzy after a few minutes.

[@J47xLiVe]

Nice! Thank you!

[@Cv2CaboVerde]

I wish I had these 🙄 I’m currently waiting for them to charge

[@paddy1382]

How is your experience with psvr2? Do you get dizzy?

[@user-kf7cq6nx7n]

mine were dead out the box and now it says i cant connect or finish setup untill they are charged, how long does it take?

[@MikeCheckVR]

What an amazing idea.

[@bongodoctor2014]

I have tried this and it doesn't work with the 2 2.1A 5000mah powerbanks I bought, no charge indicator - it works with a much larger battery, which is too heavy - maybe there is a minimum power level before it will charge???

[@naturalstate8539]

Great to know

[@naturalstate8539]

So I came back because I shared this in a group but people started asking like it was some psvr2 Disease lol how have you had any problems long-term wise yet? I want to order these.

[@EatSleepVR]

Thanks for the comment- I think the point with these is that you wouldn’t use them all the time you would only need to use them if you forget to charge your controllers or if you had an extra long gaming session swapping over with friends. I’ve used these for two years with my camera gear and Quest 2 with no issues but as I said in the video you have to use these at your own risk. I think every now and then is fine as they are just a powerbank and this is the sort of thing they are designed for.

[@PixelShade]

the shitty part about this is when people accidentally hit a real-world object accidentally cracking that poor USB-C port on the controller. With a custom 3D-printed bracket it could actually work. But I would advice everyone to skip it for the time being. it works as a "concept", but not as a proper solution.

[@EatSleepVR]

Yeah I know what you mean - I used it mainly because I wanted to use my controllers straightaway - good idea about the 3d printed bracket - thanks for the comment

[@Asubie]

Fact. Some people are not seeing that point. We don't even know how much Sony is going to charge for a replacement yet. It is for sure over $100+ with the tech it have inside. Not worth risking

[@StingrayX]

Over time, this will drain the internal battery of your controller, do NOT recommend.

[@chilly6470]

I've barely even used these things yet. I'm too busy playing GT7.

[@EatSleepVR]

I’ve just bought GT7 - can’t wait to play it

[@chilly6470]

@@EatSleepVR..... It's absolutely brilliant. Enjoy!

[@xJay2002]

Just tried GT7 for a bit, definitely very cool. But am I the only one who experiences blur finesse in it? At least at a little bit of distance objects, not right in front of me (objects are clear right in front of me)

[@chilly6470]

@@xJay2002.... Yes unfortunately blur is something you'll just have to deal with and try to forget about. All the previews on KZbin made me believe that we'd have crustal clear vr.

[@ThisGuyDrives]

I think I’m just gonna buy another set of controllers. 😏

[@MasochistNinja]

how?

[@paddy1382]

He is traveling to the future of course. Can you bring me a pair as well please

[@BrokenOpus]

Another tip is to turn off haptic feedback if you really don’t need it in some games.

[@EatSleepVR]

Great idea thanks

[@MisterReen]

Switch the trigger effect and vibration to „moderate“ in the settings.

[@BrokenOpus]

@@MisterReen or just switch it off entirely.

[@ConservativeJuggaloPodcast]

4 hours is a long time to be in virtual reality, you’re spose to take breaks…..

Thanks mum

[@SolidSL510]

I go crazy after 30min

Imagine multiple people wanting to play, and now they don't have to wait for controllers to charge.

[@pandajohn5911]

Bruh 4 hours is nothing, when I actually have a day off and alone, I would want to use as much time as possible until work and life starts again..

[@LuckyVolcano-sy6eo]

I jus use my wire I get with the psvr2 plus use my ps5 charger wire and plug the usb into plugs and charge and play them like that !!

[@Crisperdad]

Don't do that... mine flew off my controller and smashed my tv

[@twodummiesdogaming]

When playing pavlov, if you use these in your controller, make sure you are not facing your TV. Otherwise you will have a 20$ battery shatter your 1500$ tv when you throw a grenade.... speaking from experience..

[@EatSleepVR]

Yes good tip thanks

[@jermaineboi9441]

What are these called I can't find them

Capsule powerbanks - they quickly go out of stock which is annoying - I’ve linked them in the description

I rather just take a break and charge it.

[@d35p0]

Honestly if your controllers need charging you should take a break

[@EatSleepVR]

I agree but this is more for if you have forgotten to charge your controllers - it’s handy to have a quick solution - thanks for the comment

[@Huxler10]

Just don't buy psvr2 it's really expensive and there are no games for it

[@Chefonspeed]

lol

[@royrogers495]

It is the best value for money headset on the whole market for its specs. In regard to games - it's literally just launched dude. Incredible launch line up. If people buy it and support psvr2, then it will get a lot more games and support from developers. There's already another 60+ games in development.

[@TruFilmProductions]

Too late. Love it!
