The Story

Pimax Crystal Light

Now available in 2 payment models:   Full Payment and Prime Payment.

Both models feature exactly the same hardware, just the payment plan is different. Full Payment is all up front, no more to pay. The unit comes fully unlocked ready to use.

Prime Payment requires you to make payment in 2 parts, with a trial period between the two payments to test out the headset. This is explained further below:

Prime Payment Model - So how does the process work?

Step1:  Purchase your headset through Player1 Sim Gear and pay an upfront payment of $1,039 + local shipping. This upfront payment includes all duty, GST etc. We will ship your headset in 1 to 2 days from our warehouse in Queensland.

Step2: Once you receive the headset you have 14 days to try it.

Step3: If you decide to keep the headset after the 14 day trial, you then pay the final 3rd of the price (~$446 AUD) via the Pimax Play app to continue using the headset. This payment is paid directly to Pimax via Credit Card in the app.  This is a once off charge, no further payment is required. The headset will then be permanently unlocked. 

Note: If you decide to return the headset after the 14 day trial period, you will receive a full refund less shipping and 5% handling costs. The user is responsible for shipping costs of the returned unit and is responsible for the unit until it is received back by Player1 Sim Gear. 

Australian Stock Available Now. Same day shipping if ordered before 12pm.

As the leading Australian retailer and an Official Pimax Distributor for Pimax Crystals, we also offer local VR setup support and a great discord community with dozens of happy Aussie Crystal owners to help get you up and running and tweak your settings to get the most out of your Pimax Virtual Reality experience.

 

Pimax Crystal Light: High-end PCVR for everyone

The Crystal Light serves as a streamlined iteration of the Pimax Crystal, retaining the core specifications that underpinned the original model’s success while removing features less important to PCVR use cases.

It boasts a 2880 x 2880 resolution per eye, with a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz, and continues to employ glass aspheric lenses. These features ensure the Crystal Light remains a highly competitive option in the high-performance VR market.

This new, budget-friendly model is introduced as a pure PCVR headset with no battery, no XR2 processor, and no standalone capabilities. Such adjustments have not only significantly reduced costs, but also decreased the weight by 30%. The decreased weight, coupled with enhanced ergonomics, has notably improved the comfort level of the Crystal Light compared to its predecessor.

To further manage costs, the Crystal Light does not feature interchangeable lenses like the Crystal, nor does it include the eye-tracking feature. However, Pimax has upgraded their Fixed Foveated Rendering technology, which does not rely on the eye-tracking feature as the Dynamic Foveated Rendering does, to continue to assist users in compensating for potential GPU power limitations.

Features:

  • Ultra-sharp 2880 x 2880 resolution per eye.
  • Glass aspheric lenses with a large sweet spot.
  • 35 PPD for super clear vision.
  • Variable refresh rate (72Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz) provides smooth gameplay.
  • Manually adjustable IPD (58-72mm).
  • Local dimming delivers vibrant, true-to-life colors.
  • Foveated Rendering: Fixed 2.0.
  • Headset with two controllers
  • Easy setup with inside-out tracking or expand with Lighthouse tracking.
  • Audio: interchangeable 3.5mm jack, 2x microphone.
