My main concern with the Frame was the inside out controller tracking. I play Beat Saber at a very high level, and I've never been completely happy with my Index. I've been able to try all the Quests over the years but none of them impressed either.

But holy valve!

The Frame controllers track EXTREMELY WELL!! I feel like I finally got my original Rift back, and on LINUX!

So if you, like me, worried that the controllers would not perform in fast-paced games like Beat Saber, don't. I can't tell if they quite beat the original CV1 touch controllers, but it's close enough that I've finally stopped pining for the CV1.

Another cool thing is that they apparently work very well in the dark. Other headsets with inside-out tracking either lose tracking completely in the dark, or don't work as well.

    Yup.

    The Frame has IR illuminators, that will put out a bit of infrared so the tracking can continue to work in the "dark".

    As a bonus feature, they essentially work as night-vision goggle when using pass-through in the dark :D

    lol that has been my experience with the frame so far. My ergo kit arrives today and my frame yesterday so I didn’t have the light blocker for my nose. So I just turned all the lights off and played beatsaber and it was perfect.
