I ask because I remember reading Christph Bungert say these were his favorites and these are easily available at a local shop for $50.
That was a while back when he wrote that and there's a lot of new glasses out since then.

Hell yes! I use VRJOY2000 exclusively! These are the reasons:

1) they are inexpensive, my set cost me less than $45!

2) The tech support is awesome! I had a problem with my shutterglass controller, They sent me out a replacement right away, no questions asked!

3) Uses VRCaddyMe for the stereo driver! Most compatible driver there is! Supports ALL cards. The liscense for VRCaddyMe alone is worth buying the glasses.

4) Additional shutterglasses are only $30 or so, so through their website.

5) other shutterglasses will work with the controler.

6) Does Page-flipping on all cards but Voodoo3-5 (for now, will work in the next VRCaddyMe release) and interlacing on all cards out there.

7) stereo apps can be programmed in DarkBasic! Perfect for VR setups ^_^

8)Fully supported by Win3D, and all native-stereo programs and apps

Of course, Other glasses are cool, and may even work better, but I always see posts like "I can't get my revelators to work!" I almost NEVER see posts like that about VRJoy/2000 (Except maybe "why is the intelace mode half as wide?" which are tweaking issues, not a non-funcioning unit!)

All in all, it's cheap, reliable, and works with almost any video card! The only thing that would make it better is a bigger lens in the glasses, otherwise they are awesome.

Oh, did I mention the cool anti-flicker filter that snaps on to the glasses? Makes 'em look like Oakley sunglasses and kills the flicker even on a 80Hz refresh rate (no BS! I tried it! that filter actually works!)
