HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

Well, you get a tracker... Thats it, no base stand nor the original charge cable. Just a short charge cable. Feeling kind of ripped off with the base stand not being included.

Let me start this by saying I don’t know if this is the products fault, Amazon’s fault, or both. I bought two to begin with earlier this year as an upgrade from the 1.0 models. Let’s call them #1 and #2. They have worked perfectly fine since buying them. Now after a few months I have expanded my play space and decided to buy two more stations. They arrived and #3 worked perfectly but #4 had a blinking red light from the beginning. Hardware malfunction with no fix. Had to get a replacement. Once that arrives, I plug it in the have the same issue. A third base station and I finally have a working one. Then after about a week of playing with all four, #3 which seemed to be working fine, starts to show a blinking red light with no one touching or moving it. I have a replacement for #3 on the way as of writing this. Hopefully this one works when it gets here and stays working.

This worked for about 2 days and then stopped. Went on the website of the maker which I think was HP. They asked no questions just sent a replacement in 4 days we had it.

It stopped working within a month.

Doesnt come with any wires, the front of the station looks scratched up. i have 2 and they both came with everything. when asked for a refund, they told me that my refund would come back in 2-3 hours ( after turning into ups). that was a lie, told to wait 2 weeks. like what? even on Steam, buying the base stations, comes with the plug cord.

Valves base station had mount for the wall abd the power line was much longer. But this one the line was waaay shorter and you didnt get a mount for it. As expected of vive. The only reason I purchased this was because of shortage with valves stock.

does what it needs

Dose whats its supposed to do

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)

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.
