HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

Havent been able to use the one I got yet because they are not compatible with the first generation base stations. Dont expect to buy only one and have it work with the old ones you already have. Buy two.

I ordered two and they both went out within a year. I didnt move them when they were placed so it wasnt that either. And my valve index base stations have been moved twice and theyre still working perfectly after a year and a half. I also started a refund on one back in August 2021 and they never did refund me my money, and the other one as of Dec 22 2021 went bad so I cant return that one. So just avoid this.

The base station itself is the exact same as the ones sold by Valve. That is not my issue. My issue is these are $50+ more expensive than the base stations sold by Valve on Steam. That wouldnt be that big of a deal if these base stations from HTC didnt also come with objectively worse accessories. Mounting hardware: Haha get screwed. You thought your $200 base stations would come with mounting hardware just like the $50 cheaper ones from Valve? Power cable: Not only is the cable that comes with these base stations sold by HTC significantly shorter than the ones sold by Valve, but it is also stiffer and does not hang nicely straight down the wall. The power brick is also much larger than the one Valve gives you. Overall: DO NOT BUY unless you absolutely cannot wait to get them from Valve. You will need to buy mounting hardware and have to deal with a shorter/uglier cable.

After 5 days of using this one base station for VRChat because full-body tracking is the best, the base station started flashing red which indicated hardware failure. It was essentially bricked for those who dont know about the possibility of the rotor just straight up failing. Granted, it did work but not for long. If you want the same base station at a lower cost, just get it off Steam when they restock. They are good at replacing broken base stations unlike HTC with their nightmarish customer support and it comes with mounts and a better power brick. If theyre out of stock, just order a 1.0 since the only difference is a wider area coverage for bigger rooms when it comes to the 2.0.

The item was broken and blinking red when arrived. Manufacturers warranty was also out when attempting to get support. HTC and Amazon were very understanding and walked me through troubleshooting steps before reaching a return. Have since purchased another and it works flawless. It even connected to my PC through bluetooth automatically, which the previous one never did.

Not much to say about this except it does what its suppose to do. If you want full body immersion you need these and vive trackers. I suggest 4 base stations with a large play space and 2 if your play space is small.

These things work great, youll find yourself here because steam refuses to restock these. For someone desperate, paying the extra $50 for the same product with no mounting hardware is your choice. I was in need of a 3rd due to PlaySpace lighting and coverage issues. Ordered 1 and it shipped relatively quickly. Died about 2 weeks in so I sent it back to amazon and requested another one. Replacement arrived with red light of death already appearing, so I am now returning that one with a new replacement on the way. I have found most of these break during shipping due to how fragile they are. Amazon customer support is great and refunds you no problem if it breaks within 30 days, if not good luck with HTC support on replacement. If it survives shipping it should be good to go. Ill update if any more issues occur. No news is good news.

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

what

its a amazing product just what i wanted but it was $50 more been waiting for 3 months on steam but this kind of saved me
