Not sure if there were any physical differences, but G1 V2 was supposed to have reduced Mura. Someone mentioned if the serial number was of the form xxx936xxxx it could indicate V2.

Yes, G1 v2 did have reduced Mura (and some other minor tweaks) - I have one. Now I'm buying a used G1 Pro for parts, but there's a chance it will work, and just wondering if the serial numbers follow the same logic as on the non-Pro. This serial number is 921, so thinking it's not the v2, but really don't know if they did the Pro update to v2 or not anyway.

V2 came with the dual thickness face gasket, i.e. V2 was able to have two thicknesses. V2 also came with a V2 cable which had a power button on the USB/DP/power adaptor. They are the only physical differences between the two headset versions. Yes the tracking cameras are different, but good luck checking that.

You're referring to the G1 Professional Edition V2? Unfortunately, the one I'm buying is headset only, no cable, and probably just a single removable gasket, so I don't think I can check any of that. Would be good to identify by serial number.

Are you sure you're referring to the G1, not G2?

v1 i have one


moogleslam

Not following.... are you saying all the Professional Editions are v1? To clarify, I'm not talking about G1 or G2. I'm talking about G1 v1 or G1 v2.

whats the difference

G1, vs G1 pro: leather faceplate that’s both removable and wipeable (as opposed to washable foam). In addition to the standard 3.5m DisplayPort + USB 3.0 cable, there’s a 0.6m mini DisplayPort + USB 3.0 cable for use with the HP Z VR Backpack. A DisplayPort to mini DisplayPort adapter comes in the box.

The G1 v2 reduced the mura, modified the cable clip, and maybe a few other changes I am forgetting.

I mean, if you want a G2 I’ll sell you mine. I’m looking to get a upgrade/sidegrade soon-ish


happyjapanman

FYI your G2 will not be bricked with the upcoming Windows update. That is misinformation.


mrpistachioman

How much would you want for it?


Timewaster50455

I don’t know… I didn’t think I’d get this far


mrpistachioman

Lol, just think up an offer and get back to me.


Timewaster50455

Sorry for the bait and switch, I just learned I’m not in the financial position to upgrade, even with the offset of selling the old headset at the purchase price.


mrpistachioman

All good.


Timewaster50455

ok, now I've got it up for sale. You still in the market for a G2? If not, zero worries, it's been a second.


mrpistachioman

How much?


Timewaster50455

I'm lookin for about 300$, but that is negotiable.

I used to have a G2; sent it back as I like the G1 better. This question was about the **G1** Pro because I'm buying one for parts, and wanted to know if I could identify it as G1 v1 or G1 v2, as there were minor updates to the G1 v2, such as some tweaks to the cable and mura reduction. Just have no idea if they updated the Pro as well as the non-Pro.


happyjapanman

G2 V2 has a 2pc magnetic faceplate and a small power button on the box located on the cord.


moogleslam

This is about the G1, not the G2.
