Jmb Pimax 8KX mini review (Iracing)

Ok This is what I think.

Comfort,
not bad needs modding why.
The lenses rest on the bridge of your nose, I've got a large nose but don't get this with the index.
Light bleed at the sides due to the fit, if you've got a large head will probably fill the gap.
i didn't notice it whilst playing.
Weight is ok.

Build
pretty good and feels strong, the light across the front is an issue for me as it heats up the headset, over long periods this will only make you sweat, fans defiantly need, i use the wind sim which helps.
I don't see how people wearing glasses can use this and as for the eye tracking I just don't get how that will fit without it touching your face, eyelashes.

Connections
all fine and worked with the usb c to usb adapter ive been using with the index.
Lead needs another meter or two on it.

Ipd
the dial works ok.

Setting up
worked straight away no problem

Software
works ok and integrates with steam vr well.

Graphics
Dialling in the HMD is not really that difficult, i messed around for a bit with settings and found the best view i could get was using the graphics conifg, need to use parallax otherwise graphics suffer with distortion of the lettering on signs etc.
Could only run at 75HZ, 118HZ no good, thats with the latest software.
Colours all ok, i found the view to be misty but turning up the gamma and brightness in iRacing helped get rid out that a bit.

Tracking
Tracking all seemed fine with 2 or 3 2.0 base stations, i will test the 9 axis tomorrow as i think that could well be useable and save money on base stations.

Motion compensation
No good as mentioned already and for me will not allow me to use the hmd with the race cube.

Conclusion
still work to be done, will be great for seated racing (No Motion Sim rig) with the FOV which is great.
You need to spend time getting the best setting for the view but i believe that is achievable as i only spent a few hours on it and got it to a useable standard.
I was using large FOV in native mode (75HZ)
Would i recommend spending the money, its a bit of hard one, i want to say yes but for theirs to many niggles just comparing to the index which just works with out any issues. On the other hand I've got no doubt this will work well with other non racing games.
