HTC Vive Tracker (3.0) & Vive Base Station

Ive owned my full full body kit for a while now and I gotta say its gone pretty well! I bought them to test out mainly in VRChat as well as Blade and Sourcery on the side. They were quite easy to set up via SteamVR but justified some time into calibration.

These little trackers charge so fast hehe, love them

Upgrading from the 2.0, its much lighter, has noticeably less jitters on the 3.0, and the extra battery life is a god send for the longer vr sessions or when you forget to charge your trackers.

Everything everybody says, and from personal experience, I can say to definetly buy these over the 3.0 trackers these track way better than 1.0 and 3.0. Also get 1.0 base stations, it will help you out in the long run.

These, albeit pretty expensive and maybe a bit overpriced, were more than worth the money I spent to be able to use them for the experience that they add. While theres not many games that support them, I primarily got 3 of these to be able to use in VRChat for full-body tracking with hip and foot tracking, along with some straps to do so. And wow, I got them with low expectations due to trying a mixed setup of Oculus Rift gear with them, but its amazing how accurate they actually are. Since I do use an Oculus Rift CV1 as my HMD along with their controllers since I prefer them over the HTC Vive, I did have to buy the HTC Vive Lighthouses separately to be able to use these since Oculus doesnt have their own trackers which added onto the cost a good bit, but I dont regret doing so. The setup for them was very easy through SteamVR, although there is a few extra steps if you use an Oculus HMD and Controllers to get them calibrated in the same space as the Oculus gear, but there are many guides to help with it that will get them working together in no time perfectly! But, if youd prefer less hassle and ease of use, just use them with an HTC Vive. Also, if you do happen to use an Oculus Rift like me, don’t make the same mistake I did and make sure you have at least 6 free USB ports if you plan on using 3 trackers given you need a port for each tracker, the sensors, and the HMD. I can’t say for sure how many for Vive users but keep in mind that each tracker takes up a USB port as the included dongle with each one needs to be plugged in to one. *Edit for Oculus users: If you do happen to use these trackers with an Oculus Rift, do keep in mind that there is some interference that can vary whenever the Oculus Touch controllers are held close to the trackers. I hardly get any interference and near perfect tracking, but I know others who get bad interference for some reason even with the 2018 trackers which cause less interference, but it could also depend on lighthouse sensor positioning. Also, if you do happen to touch one of the trackers with an Oculus Touch controller while using them, there is a chance your tracker could ping off in a random direction in virtual space for a few seconds and then shortly after go back to normal, but for me it rarely ever happens. Just a heads up! *Edit 11/23/2019 for Valve Index users: I upgraded to the Valve Index about two months ago so I thought I might as well go ahead and share my experience using them with that HMD. With the Valve Index, just like with the HTC Vive, it required no setup other than plugging in the dongles and connecting them as a new controller in SteamVR to get them working, it was basically plug and play. These do definitely work a lot better when using them with an HMD that also uses the base stations/lighthouses for tracking since theres no hassle or worry to it. But, I still really enjoyed my mostly flawless experience using them with my Oculus Rift CV1 even if it did take quite a bit of setup to get them working and I would still heavily recommend them for use with it. With a bit of research, I also learned that the trackers can be used similarly with any other VR headset just like the Oculus Rift CV1, so even if you dont own that HMD and own something like a Windows Mixed Reality or Rift S/Quest, you can use the same method for those!

I got these to help replace some trackers I let drown in my dogs water bowl. They themselves work fine, any problems should come from water damage, blunt force damage, and/ the base stations. The work as long as you know what youre doing

Bought these for full body tracking in VRChat. Work perfectly, no problems and weird errors or glitching unless they somehow lose sight of the base stations. They hold a charge for about 3.5 to 4 hours of constant use and they charge in about an hour. Have not had any problems with battery life or tracking loss within reason. So, yeah I highly recommend these if you wanna be more animated in VR.

While there are occasionally issues with tracking, and more annoyingly issues with the tracker connecting to the USB, its serviceable. Full body in vr is easily worth the expense. I would recommend purchasing this with a product such as TrackBelt + 2 TrackStraps (VR Bundle for Vive Trackers) as to have a decently made and comfortable way of putting it on your body. As for how to put these on: - For two of the trackers, put each on the top of your foot while wearing socks. - For the waist tracker, put it at either the left side or the right side of your waist, so you can lay down without losing tracking.

Received in perfect condition. Packaging was very exception, and presentation was beyond incredible. I was really excited to get these as my first FBT units!! I can’t wait to use them! So far, overall a very great product. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a greater VR experience!

This thing is awesome! I use it for VRchat and other games as well, Although, I will say it is very light, Has around 4-6 hours of battery life and It tracks amazing with only 1 base station. I have a Rift S So I needed a base station along with my trackers but shoot! One base station does the trick!
