HTC Vive Base Station

Bought it as a replacement, but relized it was my controller that was broken

Yes, theyre not cheap but it works. My old base station had a dying rotor and would signal a red flashing light when updated to the latest firmware. No wonder tracking was so bad! Hopefully this will last since I unplug them after a VR session.

It was simple and easy to setup and it tracks well but having to buy wall mounts or tripods separately is kind of annoying

So as of right now I only have this one no other base stations and tbh the track on this is great with just one I will be ordering one more soon because it does lose some tracking but I expected that with just one but it works great for only having one

These are fantastic for what they are but this generation does not work in compatibility with the first generation of base stations. These are a mid cycle refresh with a different led pattern and seemingly better tracking than my 2016 vive bs, but there was zero indication on this site that they would not be compatible, if you have the first gen Vive and need to replace one of your base stations you should get it repaired through HTC, because I bought this one I had to buy a second one to get a full setup working and now I have a useless base station sitting on my table. This does track what seems to be noticeably better than the first generation so I guess thats good but I still would rather have only bought one given there listed as the same product. I have a pretty huge room scale setup and they do the job well, there are basically no dead zones or problems tracking once you go through the hassle of getting it set up which for me required a lot of waiting since I had to buy another one. At least they work really well individually since Im sure some folks will be in the same situation as me but not have the funds to get the second one

Theres no problem Ive had in particular with the base stations, but I did have to order this replacement because mine broke. I didnt have the tripods yet and so my station was sitting on other high up places like a bookshelf when it fell off. Just from falling about 6~ feet and hitting carpet was enough to break one of these.

Quality products working great

My first one broke in my first week of owning it this one for being apparently used was in amazing condition and still works perfectly two months after purchase

Literally had them for two months and they don’t work now...

We got a used headset and needed the base stations and new controllers. Ordered these base stations and they work great except for one of them. The bottom inlet that you are supposed to be able to use to mount the base station to stands or wall hangs does not have threading. The back one has threading but we are unable to angle the base station if it is attached from the back. As it is now, with not being able to angle, we have deadspots when trying to map our room area.
