HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

I only bought this because I was desperate for more stations, as steam was out of stock. know that the vive (this) version has no mounting hardware, and is 50 dollars more expensive for your trouble

Please youtube videos before you buy this or you will regret it.

Got one of these to help my VR setup due to Steam always being out of stock. Sad to find it cost more for a product that feels cheaper and doesnt even come with a wall mount. Outside this issue it works fine, pairs with the system, and so far has not shown any issues. I also bought 4 new all mounts anyways as I wanted some better angles from the ceiling positions I use.

Gave as a gift

Not sure if these are refurbished units because the original basestations that came with my Valve Index dont have this problem. Both of the basestations I purchased here off of amazon required a firmware update and both were bricked, refused to start again, after powering down after the update.

I wanted to buy two base stations for my VR setup in June but Valve was out of stock at the time. Amazon came through with these. If you set them up properly for standing or room experience, they work great. Key point, dont leave them on all the time. The lasers inside spin at extremely fast RPM and you will wear out the base stations over time. Thats very important. With bluetooth this is easy, but wired, you have to manually unplug the power to the base stations. I left mine on for two months and I felt like a complete imbecile. Thankfully, I only play VR games infrequently because Im busy. They still work fine, but Ill be monitoring them over time for stability and performance issues.

I purchased one of these base stations to add to the two that came with my Valve Index kit. Having 3 base stations is a great way to make sure that you have good tracking no matter what direction you are looking in.

I have a valve index with four 2.0 base stations. The tracking is impeccable. I have had one base station go bad and it was replaced no questions asked. Great product great service.

While the product was fine, these are designed for Europe and if you are buying them for US you need adapter or it wont work. (Just wanted to update, was going to return this item and while re-boxing it found included adapter so increased one star. Bottom line, if you order from them, they include the necessary adapter but it will be in bottom of the package so dont miss it when you pull out the small box containing the base station)

Product worked great, the only problem is the price is jacked higher than it should be.
