Pimax and CONSPIT have teamed up on a special Crystal Light VR headset aimed directly at sim racers, although the new edition is a giveaway prize rather than a new retail product.
Pimax has revealed the Pimax Crystal Light | CONSPIT Edition, a limited collaboration with sim racing hardware manufacturer CONSPIT announced on August 28. The headset features an exclusive CONSPIT logo and a purple rear comfort pad produced by Studioform, giving the existing Crystal Light a distinctive motorsport-themed appearance.
Importantly, this is not a new Crystal Light model or hardware revision. Pimax is producing the CONSPIT Edition for a promotional giveaway, with the winner scheduled to be selected on September 7. The company has not announced pricing, wider availability or plans to sell the special edition separately.
Underneath the CONSPIT branding, the headset retains the standard Crystal Light specification. It is a PCVR headset with 2880×2880 resolution per eye, 35 PPD, up to 120 Hz refresh rate and a claimed 110-degree horizontal field of view. It also uses glass aspheric lenses and 6DoF inside-out tracking.
Pimax continues to position the Crystal Light heavily towards simulation users, highlighting sim racing alongside flight simulation as one of its main use cases. The headset supports an optional Mini-LED local-dimming configuration and is compatible with Pimax’s Lighthouse faceplate, although it does not include eye tracking.
The collaboration is therefore more notable for Pimax’s continued push into the sim racing hardware market and its partnership with CONSPIT than for introducing new VR technology. For now, the Crystal Light | CONSPIT Edition remains a one-off promotional version rather than the start of a newly announced product line.
