Pimax launches ‘Crystal-Sim’: More Refresh-Rate Options, No Controllers & Updated appearance
Sep
Pimax has long made headsets popular among racing and flight simmers, including the most recent Crystal. Pimax has now responded to the request of many simmers by adding an SKU: The Crystal-Sim, available right now for a price of $1449, or $1549 with the Lighthouse.
The Crystal-Sim is an update to the Pimax Crystal, without controllers, and a lower refresh rate option. As an added bonus, the Crystal-Sim comes with a unique faceplate (customers can choose), and a discount for a Lighthouse faceplate.
The Pimax Crystal-Sim (Crystal-Sim Flight or Crystal-Sim Racing) is perfect for simmers, with a resolution of 2880×2880 resolution per eye, glass aspheric lenses with minimal to no distortion, and Tobii-powered eye-tracking for Dynamic Foveated Rendering.
The Crystal-Sim has the option to use 72 Hz, as well as 90 Hz and 120 Hz. The Crystal-Sim comes without controllers as flight simmers often use a yoke, and racing simmers use a steering wheel.
