HTC Vive Base Station

I had bought the cosmos elite that came with two base stations and bought two more for my brother. Out of the 4 base stations 1 has this odd rotary sound struggling like a fishing rod that just annoys me, I may have to return it. If you plan to play vrchat, 2 base stations is all you need but yes the software can support 3 but the 4th one would have issues getting in sync making the software tell you that you have two many base stations and to only use two. You have to place these opposite from each other and press the channel button located on the back, to set one to channel (b) and the other to (c). Im not sure what channel (A) is for but Ill have to Google it.

It does not say in the description but this is the 2nd generation of lighthouse. It has a different LED Array.... i did not know that at purchase and now I have two different lighthouses that do not sync properly. It works but i wish i knew it was the newer one. Now i might have return or buy a second one to match the new base station. Tracking has been spotty ever since i bought the new lighthouse, even after updating firmware. Be aware guys. Buy these in pairs.

Works perfectly to use for seated play. If you turn off the other base stations, it will remember your seated layout. I use smart plugs to simplify the set up.

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.

I bought this as a replacement for my kits failing lighthouse unit. Its performed with no issues and set up was painless. Im now able to stream VR without issues using SteamVR through my vive headset.

forgot you cant have more than 2 unless you have 2.0 my bad it worked fine though :D

Works as it should. Arrived in great condition.

Firmware refused to update without manual effort. Then it died a week after my return window closed. Vive makes you pay to send it back and might even charge you for the repair. Might cost more than the device. These are terrible but there is no alternative. Vive customer service is not as good as Oculus. Everyone I know has had a problem with a lighthouse and/or a repair ticket nightmare story.

Yay now i can erp in vrc :)

This product is great with the 2.0 vive trackers and is definitely the better option to have if you are just getting into vull body vr as it is cheaper than the 2.0 base station. One thing I would like to warn you about is to never under any circumstances get a used base station. I made that mistake before and ended up getting a $114 paperweight, there is likely something gonna be wrong with the used base station such as a faulty motor, scratches, bad wire, or at worst a broken laser diode. Always buy these things new.
