> 24 hourI bought 3 and they battery on one is weaker by about 10 minutes than the other two. It would have been a 5 otherwise

> 24 hourId love to give 5 stars but knocking one-off for the price being steep along with I had to tinker a bit to get the third one to pair correctly. If you are having trouble paring I did so by turning off and repairing one that was good to the tracker that wouldnt pair, that did the trick and just like that I was off to dance and party in vr.

> 24 hourGreat trackers for vr! Lightweight and small! The battery life is amazing and sometimes don’t even know if these things are on my body or accessories! Would recommend if your getting into full body tracking.

> 24 hourI recently purchased 3 of these for full body tracking. For what you get, these are just some little plastic pucks and not worth $99 a piece. Honestly, not even worth the price if they gave you three for $99. Seriously, there isnt much to these trackers and probably cost them maybe $10 a piece to produce, if that. Now, that said, the experience is absolutely worth the price. Being able to go into VR with full body presence is just something else. Not too many games support it, but the ones that do completely changes how you play. Pros: 1. After the initial pairing and update of firmware, they connect quickly and consistently. 2. I cant really think of any specific pros. They work. You kinda forget about the trackers and just get immersed in the game. Cons: 1. Charging is on the slow side. Im used to the Index controllers having fast charging, so using these included USB 2.0 cables to charge can be fairly slow in comparison. 2. Battery life could be better. 3. This one isnt really a con, but it does make me question the QC on these devices. 1 of the trackers I got has a yellow charging light, instead of a orange light. Not a problem really, but it is a bit of an eye sore when they are charging to see that on tracker with the wrong colored light. Overall, I wont fault it for the one with the wrong colored charging light, but I will ding it one star because of the slow charging and battery life. I honestly cant wait to see what the next thing in VR tech will be for full body tracking.

> 24 hourIt works really well with quest 2 when I use OVR. I use base station 1.0’s, and these last a good while as well. What I understand now is that there are tundra trackers out, but they would be more complicated to set up. Anyways they are great, I recommend them, they also take a beating.

> 24 hourI 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

> 24 hourIve had a host of constant issues, and every person I have spoken to on VRChat has experienced similar problems. Once you have them working, theyre GREAT. The technology of full body tracking is amazing. The problem is, virtually every time I turn these things on, I have to reconfigure or troubleshoot something, or the entire thing. 4 out of 5 times I use them I have to re-pair, unpair, swap, relaunch, and do a bunch of fiddling to get everything working the way its supposed to. Its an enormous pain in the tush almost every time. I can change literally nothing in my configuration, and have to reconfigure it next time I use it. Its nonsensical. One of the pucks also refuses to power on when I press the button, unless I first plug it into my PC. It wont power on when plugged into a USB charger, it will only turn on when plugged into a PC USB port. Its not a matter of a defective battery or being uncharged, because once its on, it stays on for hours. What could cause such a strange issue, I dont know. Defective right out of the box and Ill need to send it back for replacement. Pain in the tush.

> 24 hourThis 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!

> 24 hourThey do a pretty good job of tracking feet and waist movement. I primarily use them for VRChat for full-body tracking. They can get a little jittery at times, and they are very sensitive to any vaguely reflective surfaces that might be in the room, so youll have to cover any glass or glossy flat surfaces to avoid drift and jitter. They have a recurring, really stupid problem with powering on, however. Oftentimes, they will seem not to power on at all, with no light, but it will awaken SteamVR anyway and act like the tracker is tracking. However, it actually isnt at all. You have to close SteamVR, plug the tracker into the PC, reopen SteamVR, repeat in various combinations until the light actually comes on and tracks normally. I have this happen nearly every time I use them, and its happened with all three of my trackers (though not usually at the same time). Its incredibly frustrating, and is apparently due to the latest firmware update that happened *two years ago*. So dont expect it to be fixed anytime soon.
