Boy the reviews of this thing are all over the map, but let me just inform you, I am no novice to VR having worked with multiple headsets with a range of people from barely able to use VR to their grandfather who barely gets the hang of it.
The good part is that you don't have to build it yourself. I like the head straps compared to some other Cardboard options, the material its made of helps your skin breath and its specifically made for the switch as you can tell from all its cutouts for the air vents, speakers, USB port, volume and power buttons.
I do think that the lenses are way too small, you can see the border that is supposed to be the area by which the lenses are supposed to be glued down at exposed making you think they are larger then they really are thus causing frustration when you actually look thru them.
My main complaint is the size of the face mask itself, is huge and makes securing it to your head difficult because its not really using the contour of your head as a support which all other good headsets do. It also leads to a low comfort factor which I am surprised about these 5 star reviews saying it is very comfortable, it is not, tolerable at best. I also wear glasses which might make matters worst for some people (but really it isn't as bad as the one non commercial VR headset that literally pressed my lenses against my eyeballs). That may actually be a good thing because you really don't want to have any VR headset on you for too long.
The lack of being able to adjust the interocular distance is a byproduct of the Google Cardboard initiative as most phone headsets, even Google's own Daydream Viewer don't have a way to adjust it. And that is basically what this is, Google Cardboard for the Nintendo Switch.
So before you go shelling out the money for this headset take heed of the resolution limitation of the Switch, the limited compatible games for VR on the Switch, anyone with eye problems or anyone who had a bad experience with any of the Cardboard based VR systems. This is not for you. Also, the box says Upgraded Large Mirror, there is no mirror or need for one. If it meant lenses which would help more people with the I.D. issue, well, I don't know what the non upgraded version had so I can't tell you but they are not as large as the Daydream Viewer.
Its a 3 star product for those who really don't want to take the time to build their own cardboard viewer and zero stars if you really need the I.D. adjusted.
