Vive supports wireless according to this thread.
Quest 1 is deffo 100% okay for PCVR. I use it for racing sims and Alyx. Quest 2 has been jailbroken to bypass facebook logins, but the hack hasnt been disclosed.
Im using a 1070Ti that I got off Ebay and its working great for PC games. Obvs not max settings and the Quest isnt best for its resolution but imo you forget about those things in VR.
At the very worst you can start off basic and move up if you need to, but paying $$$ for your first dip into VR is over-rated.
It isn't literally my first dip, I had an Occulus Rift. Most of the games were the equivalent of shitty flash games from 2005 and I was pretty sure standalone VR was a ripoff, but I got my PC to stream to it via Stream Theater and played Alien:Isolation with a wireless controller.
The experience was insanely immersive in the moments where I wasn't battling issues with only having 3 degrees of freedom, arms attached to the side of my head, nauseating cut-scenes, unreadable menus, and controller issues.
Yeah if youve not played VR for a long while its 200% better now in my experience.
Half Life Alyx is imo a genre-defining game, plus there's a load of quality VR titles now compared to the experimental stuff that VR started with.
Ive got a Quest 1, which works just fine without a PC (Feels great to play games without a cable attached) but getting it working for PCVR is quite easy too. Not plug-and-play just yet but I've been able to use it like a Rift or Vive without the massive price, or dozens of base station things
