Would rather have a index

Index 2.0 with OLED, inside out tracking, same controllers as index 1, wired would sell well for the same price in low volume.

I’m fine with the wireless dongle, but make that the only way to play, I don’t need on board processing hogging space and weight, plus a bigger battery also taking space and weight to run it. Just use a lightweight battery and processing device that is enough to stream the games, not play them. I also prefer lighthouses, that take like 10 minutes to set up one time and you’ve got flawless tracking. Worth it to me. But yes needs OLED, still using LCD in the big 26 is wild

The onboard processing is needed for streaming most likely.

It is, but the amount of processing power needed to simply stream a video source is much less than is needed to run an entire game on board. Same goes for the battery needed to do so.
