    The biggest issue with this gadget is that it requires you to stand up and "walk" to play video games. More seriously, these vr treadmills aren't there yet.

      I have a Kat Walk, and them “being” there isn’t really the device, it’s the games on an individual basis.
      SkyrimVR is a fantastic experience on the Kat Walk, whereas Vader Immortal (the PCVR version) isn’t that great.
      The hardware isn’t the problem for the most part.
      Now backpedaling isn’t a good at all, so I’ll absolutely grant that, and strafing is fundamentally different from IRL strafing. Those points not withstanding, the problem is GAMES aren’t written with this form of locomotion as a forethought.

    I got one of these last week during the holiday sale. C2+, 3 pairs of shoes, nexus, loco s, $100 steam card, extra warranty, lifetime yearly replacement of one pair of shoes, and free shipping for $1,189. waiting has sure paid off big time.

    I love how you show the real struggles of setting up the treadmill with the Nexus it’s so helpful! I've been eyeing a KatVR treadmill but wasn’t sure about getting one without a PC. Your video clarified so much for me. I’d love a Quest 3 to explore its AR features and see how it transforms games I already own on Quest 2. Plus, being able to do chores and watch UA-cam at the same time sounds amazing! @NatAttackGaming

    • @thespenceryan

    I'm stevebartlettgta. My favorite part of the video is that you've done it I've time and are able to find problems and then solutions, rather than an initial problem and just writing the KATVR off.
    Also glad that you found a problem and fix for the Nexus, since I'm looking at buying a used KAT and that Nexus info factors in. I'm a little concerned as i do live in an apartment with picky neighbors. I don't have a vr headset at the moment. If i did, i would like to try writing and running my own vr game or experience, which is what I'm looking into now.

    I love my Kat Walk... for the **right** games. Some of my favorite games to use my Kat Walk with are SkyrimVR (when modded), Brazen Blaze, VRChat (depending on the world), Batman Arkham Shadow, Myst. There's other games that work well enough too, but those are my favorites.
    The biggest difference I find with using the Kat Walk vs IRL walking isn't the slide-walking, it's that you have no inertia when you "walk". Ever; Single; Step, is 100% you pumping your legs, burning oxygen, and burning calories, inertia... not so much...
    EDITED:
    MODDED SkyrimVR is the generally viewed by most Kat Walkers are the best VR game to use with the Kat Walk
    My Kat Nexus works great, but it depends on the game. Batman Arkham Shadow is a very good game to use with the Kat Nexus
    Backpedaling is defiantly not good on the Kat Walk

    I couldn't choose a single instance in the video that would be my favourite, though, considering it's a review on a product and a very thorough one at that, I appreciate you walking us through the calibration though, I don't think I'd get one, certainly not for now but I definitely see the appeal. But if they could figure out a way to fix all the issues you stated (especially the sound) then I'd really consider it.

      You need a meta quest 3s trust me it’s going to take a while before they add another budget headset I feel like there next headset will be in at least 1 year and it’s either gonna be more expensive or less expensive but I doubt it’s gonna be less anywais if your willing to wait a year for a vr that could be more expensive the quest 3s that is still a great choice do it but right now is just the best moment you could alwais maybe wait next year to see if the 3s price could go down but I think they will just remove the deals they do and do deals for there new headset they release (if they do) just like they did with quest 2 they stoped adding deals with them

    I'd use the meta quest to chill. Gaming on meta quest seems fun but I think ill wait for it to reach peak performance. For now tho i bet it really helps in other activities.
