"For sim racing the Index is incredible."
"I love my Index for everything, including War Thunder."
"The only headsets that are seamless with PC (3rd party softwareless) are the index, Vive, vive pro, vive pro eye, and both bigscreen beyonds."

"The best out of the box experience is still a valve index kit"
"I use my Index since 2019 i stream with it. The microphones are high quality. And the comfort is awesome."

"The index works pretty well for this game."
"The index isn't a bad option, but cables are and will always be a pain to deal with"
