So much speculation! Given I haven’t bought a Steam Deck yet, I would love to see a refresh; though, highly unlikely. What are your thoughts?

To be fair, if you only bought it last year the headset already was outdated. Great refresh rate, ghastly resolution in comparison to the Vive/Pico/WMR headset. (It still looks fine, it’s just in comparison)
That said, it comes down to reliability and the software you want. I got the Reverb G2 because of the display resolution, but I wanted the Index Knuckles because those are unparalleled. But I’m also dealing with WMR, which is nice for somethings (openXR) and very annoying for others (actually using MixedVR, the G2 headset and Index Knuckles).
Also I’d be surprised if the next version just wasn’t compatible with the previous generation. So you may be able to just buy the deckard headset and you already have the rest. That’s what I’m hoping for, as I want a SteamVR headset with the resolution of my G2 :(
Yeah I know it was outdated, but people were saying it was gonna be 7 years till the next headset, and the Index is the best headset for getting into basestations these days still. Pimax has really bad headsets in most aspects besides fov, and HTC hasn’t released a good headset in years.
According to rumors the deckard should be compatible with basestations, so I should be able to get the headset standalone.
In my opinion the Index resolution is as good as the quest 2 though so it wasn’t that bad in comparison to other headsets when I got it.
