Due it being like this since I got it, an intermittent issue, and a common issue online I don’t think it is the unit. Killing Oculus’ software and restarting it would occasionally get it to work so I feel like it might be that. I spent sometime reading Oculus Support threads and others shared my suspicions.

My only other thought would have been my motherboard or power supply. My CPU, GPU, and RAM should be enough.

I have tried that. I unplugged everything except a wireless keyboard I used to navigate the menus and it didn’t help

I used to run a Raspberry Pi 4 in the same case for months at a time and didn’t have issues. I’d say you are fine

I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.

Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?

I own a Rift S as well and absolutely hate Meta’s software. On the hardware side of things I’ve had pretty much constant disconnection issues

I own a PS4 so having the dual functionality would be nice though I would primarily be using it for videos. As I said in another comment they are also quite cheap (~$100) where I live and I’d like to avoid any of Meta’s software and only Oculus products (and the PSVR) are available second hand

I am looking at the original. They can be found real cheap where I live second hand
