Awful item… uncomfortable to wear, unable to see the game properly and therefore unable to play the game properly. The kids tried and I thought it was them, however I then tried and it was awful. I have great eye sight but couldn’t get it to focus with both eyes together. Maybe I was expecting more from it as we have a PS4 VR head set but even then I knew it wouldn’t compare to that however this is unusable 😢

Boy the reviews of this thing are all over the map, but let me just inform you, I am no novice to VR having worked with multiple headsets with a range of people from barely able to use VR to their grandfather who barely gets the hang of it.The good part is that you don’t have to build it yourself. I like the head straps compared to some other Cardboard options, the material its made of helps your skin breath and its specifically made for the switch as you can tell from all its cutouts for the air vents, speakers, USB port, volume and power buttons.I do think that the lenses are way too small, you can see the border that is supposed to be the area by which the lenses are supposed to be glued down at exposed making you think they are larger then they really are thus causing frustration when you actually look thru them.My main complaint is the size of the face mask itself, is huge and makes securing it to your head difficult because its not really using the contour of your head as a support which all other good headsets do. It also leads to a low comfort factor which I am surprised about these 5 star reviews saying it is very comfortable, it is not, tolerable at best. I also wear glasses which might make matters worst for some people (but really it isn’t as bad as the one non commercial VR headset that literally pressed my lenses against my eyeballs). That may actually be a good thing because you really don’t want to have any VR headset on you for too long.The lack of being able to adjust the interocular distance is a byproduct of the Google Cardboard initiative as most phone headsets, even Google’s own Daydream Viewer don’t have a way to adjust it. And that is basically what this is, Google Cardboard for the Nintendo Switch.So before you go shelling out the money for this headset take heed of the resolution limitation of the Switch, the limited compatible games for VR on the Switch, anyone with eye problems or anyone who had a bad experience with any of the Cardboard based VR systems. This is not for you. Also, the box says Upgraded Large Mirror, there is no mirror or need for one. If it meant lenses which would help more people with the I.D. issue, well, I don’t know what the non upgraded version had so I can’t tell you but they are not as large as the Daydream Viewer.Its a 3 star product for those who really don’t want to take the time to build their own cardboard viewer and zero stars if you really need the I.D. adjusted.

I bought this product for two reasons. I wanted to have a backup VR view for my Switch just in case the Labo viewer were to wear out, and I wanted to try a hands-free VR viewer without damaging the Labo viewer. I just finished trying it out and I have to say I’m disappointed.They technically work. The lenses seem to be a match for the Labo VR in quality, clarity, and placement. And even though you can tell the body is made from thin and cheap material, it seems like it’ll be at least a little more durable than cardboard. The problem is the comfort.The front of the viewer has functionally no padding for your face and head. Since you are relying on the straps to keep the viewer in place, it needs to be tight to your head. The forehead portion is not curved nearly enough to fit my head properly. It looks curved, but it is flat enough that the entire weight of the Switch rests on a two-inch section above my eyebrows. Imagine pressing the spine of a hardcover book against your forehead and tying it in place while you are trying to have fun. It just isn’t very ergonomic.I was only willing to try this product because of the low price. If there was a more comfortable and better-made alternative I would be willing to pay more.

If you’re looking for a quick, cheap, VR thrill, this will do. I bought this to try with my Zelda. I knew not to expect much for the price. Actually, go in with no expectations. That’s a good rule of thumb for anything gin life. Anyway, for the price, I’m cool with it. At least someone is trying to make a VR set for the Switch. It’s not Oculus of course, but it’s not meant to be.The thing to keep in mind, is that you can’t adjust the distance the Switch screen is from your face. That means that depending on your face or vision, it may be a bit blurry. I sort of rigged it a little so it’s farther from my eyes, therefore, I can view it for longer without my eyes constantly adjusting to the focus. Otherwise you’ll get a headache. Don’t mess with your vision, people. The other thing is that light can shine through the sides. I wear a blanket over my head because I don’t like that. I want nothing but the screen.So, overall… It’s a fun piece of gear to try if you don’t mind tossing the $20. It was really just for a quick phase for me. But I knew that going in. (I try not to get addicted to games for to long of a time span). Glad I did it though. Give it a go 🤷♂️ BUT if y’all are buying for children, please educate them on the importance of vision and not to mess with that. Help them understand that they may need to adjust it accordingly.Thank you

So, I don’t know where to start. Well we’ll get what we paid for, on that note I you are playing this with your Switch, and if that game is Zelda:BOTW just know that 1. You have to aim with your VR set, 2. You can’t see you little map on the bottom right corner. 3. If you are prone to motion sickness I don’t think this is going to work for you cause you won’t play with it.4. Comfort:::::: Well I can’t play it long enough for it to start bothering my face.Well that is the only game I have for the switch that can VR. Also the image isn’t clear/crisp and that also makes the game play non-enjoyable. It’s like trying to blow up a blurry photo, just makes it worse. BUT!!! If non of that bothers you, have at it.

Lens had like a water s t ain’t or some glaze like on lens a lil blurry it was a gift for my grandson he’s 8 but he still played his switch on it as h e was so destined to have this item

Feels comfy and nicely attached to the person who is using it. The problem starts when you turn on the switch, the lenses arnt focused correctly. I spent alot of time trying to change the position of the switch and also the lenses to make it usable. Myslef and my daughter couldnt use this for more than 5 minutes. Get headache because of this horrible viewing experience. I would not recommend bying this, instead by some velcro and make the cardboard lab kit handsfree. It took my 5 minutes to do and it is 100% better than this product.

I was a lil iffy to purchase, but I did! It definitely works but there’s only 1 game that’ll work with it.

Right off the bat this feels like a well designed product. The packaging is reassuringly high quality and the lenses had protectors on both sides to prevent scratching or scuffs. The headset itself is soft and padded so even after a long period of use there wasn’t any pain points due to pressure and it seems like its shaped for normal heads (I’ve used some headsets in the past which just didn’t sit right). It’s super lightweight which is very handy due to the fact that you’re mounting the Switch to your face. Shaving off a few grams is much appreciated!In summary – headset is great and seems like the best way to experience VR on the Switch.

I’m pleased to say that it’s a robust and comfortable alternative to Nintendo’s cardboard Labo headset, with the added advantage of the user not being required to hold it in place.The only thing that lets it down is something that’s out of Oivo’s control, in that there’s a real lack of VR-specific games on Switch; those that are available – such as the modes offered in Super Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros and Breath of the Wild – work well, but if you don’t have all three of these games you may find little else to justify the cost. That said, YouTube VR content works well and – with the headset being reasonably priced at around £25 – if this is something that appeals, it’s certainly an inexpensive way to watch VR videos.So it works well for what it is – and it’s a decent price considering its build quality, but whether or not you personally think it’s worth a purchase hinges on how many of the VR-enabled games you either already own or intend to get. It’s certainly a vastly cheaper investment than, say, PSVR – or even standalone headsets such as Oculus Go – but is definitely a lot more limited than those examples too. That’s not the fault of the headset itself though – or Oivo. With more content available, this would be a near enough essential purchase for the Switch.
