If you want to adjust the software IPD offsets, I recommend that you update PiTool, since finer adjustments should help you optimize your eye comfort. The latest beta version (1.0.2.086) of PiTool increases the setting “steps” to 0.1mm (down from from 0.5mm). Others find the IPD offset to be the key to their comfort in VR, so you should at least try adjusting that setting. I was surprised at how strong my reaction was. When I tried making adjustments, I had to close my eyes and rip the headset off, within a second or two. Tiny changes give me near-instant eyestrain. One thing I cannot tolerate is setting the PiTool software IPD offset to anything but zero. Please note that at least some people seem to have trouble adjusting to the canted displays or (perhaps) their headset wasn’t assembled to the correct tolerances. I later read a forum post that encouraged me to experiment: I discovered that a lower IPD setting fixed my world scale problems in ED. However, the world scale was wrong in Elite Dangerous. I thought I had my IPD set up correctly (based on my actual IPD measurement). A wide range of physical IPDs are “OK” for me. It took me months to find my optimal settings. Note that the “ideal” IPD of a Pimax headset is highly specific to each individual. To adjust the length of the top strap, lift the Velcro tab that is on the top front, determine the optimum length (remember that it will stretch a bit), and then push the tab back down. The exact spot for the “ideal” view is quite small, on the order of 1 or 2 mm. Your eyes need to be in proper position relative to the lenses for maximum in-focus area and minimum visual distortions. Unfortunately, setting your IPD correctly is tricky, probably due to the canted (angled) LCD panels, which is a key feature of Pimax’s wide FOV headsets. The IPD is set via the adjustment wheel on the lower right corner headset, on the side closest to your face. If you need the other face-pad or have any headset issues, go here: Here’s how to determine which foam pad (thick or thin) you actually received: Both the thick and thin foams have a glasses cutout, but the thin foam’s slot stops short of the edge so there’s a ridge to block the light, while the thick foam is a complete notch from edge to edge. If you are having trouble with lens distortions and you don’t have a second pad, file a Customer Support “ticket” and ask for the other one. Imo, this makes the packaging “sub-standard”, since this issue should not be possible.ĭid you get 2 face-pad foams? One will be attached to the headset. If you do, rip the liner up and extract the packet, which contains instructions and the cleaning cloth. You should hear something sliding around. Was your packet with the instructions and lens-cleaning cloth missing (or you can’t find some other small part like an ear speaker)? If so, shake the box. If you already have your headset, skip down to a section which is relevant to you. Here are my tips, assuming your Pimax headset has just arrived. Note that most of this info is applicable to other Pimax headsets. I like my 8KX a lot, but I’ll be the first to admit that it’s an enthusiast HMD which needs tweaking, customization, and a powerful GPU to reach its full potential.
