> 3 dayIve been doing VR for about a year. One thing I always hated about stand up games like Onward, Half Life Alyx is that you get tangled up so easily just after a couple turns. This completely fixes that. This is a essential item. I cannot recommend this enough! Alright, so for those of us with textured ceilings. You can either use the mounts and J-Hooks or there is another solution not involving them. You can use the sticky pads that it comes with. However, you will need a heat gun or a hair dryer. This will help it conform into the texture on your ceiling. Ive had it setup for a full day and put a few hours into VR and they seem pretty well stuck on.

> 3 dayRight out of the box I stretched out a pulley to test how silent it was. The claim of silence seems to mostly be based on the rubber that deadens the retraction click and this works well enough to be silent within vr even if not outside of it. That said, I immediately doubted the product after stretching it out further. The reason for deducting two stars is due to the tension ramping up as the cord is pulled out. The only adjustment is to change the slack but, without a corresponding adjustment to tension, this feature is nearly pointless. The recommended triangle setup really does work flawlessly for standing play but the pull becomes too noticeable after 1 or 2 steps in any direction. My space measures 3 meters by 3.5 meters according to the steam vr room setup so 1 or 2 steps is not sufficient. I spent a couple hours experimenting and here is what works best for my setup. First off, 6 pulleys is not enough so I ditched the triangle setup. Im very glad that more adhesive hooks were included than needed. I still have 3 points of contact with the ceiling but ended up chaining the pulleys together. 1st point nearest the pc has 1, 2nd point has 2, 3rd point has 3. I found that the easiest way to calibrate this was to place the headset into the corner. Each link of the chain could then be inspected and the rubber gripper on the cord adjusted until all pulleys were about the same length. A balance must be struck between ensuring that no pulley is stretched too far yet without the cord dangling low enough to entangle your neck or hands. Overall, this setup is decent but Im probably going to need to order a second kit. There just are not enough points of contact with the ceiling to keep the cord high enough. Ill likely have leftovers but I figure the rest can be spares. This would be a 5 star product if there was a way to adjust tension. This would be a 4 star product if they were more open about the requirements for a full room setup and sold a 10 pack going for about 1.5 the cost.

> 3 dayI love these for getting the cable out of the way when gaming. BUT there is one small issue. The tension is too tight and i feel too much resistance on the headset. This is particularly annoying for games that are immersive and require alot of crouching and dodging. I have not tried the triangle type setup yet just to be clear but I dont see it helping much. To the creators: I recommend that you add a tension adjustment like some competitors have. I bought these for the quality of design and would not have batted an eye to pay 10 or 15 more for that feature.

> 3 dayThis is an amazing and cheap product. Ive messed around with wireless adapters but theres always issues with heavy batteries, disconnects, extreme expense, etc. This product is amazing though. It only took me about 5 minutes to set up and after playing with the length of the cable, I can barely feel any sort of tug unless I get right to the edge of my play area. Flat ceilings work best but theres a solution for popcorn ceilings as well. Theres no way I can go back or even consider a $300 adapter after trying this.

> 3 dayCant stand it. Cable twisted and pretzels above my head within minutes. Rough tug on the headset if I move anywhere. Sent a photo of my configuration to kiwi, and they couldnt find anything wrong with it. Id rather trip over the wire on the floor than ever use this system again.

> 3 dayThis functions great as a product to keep cable weight off ones self, but if you are a more ambitious VR enthusiast these are recommended with caution. I have a standard ceiling and I had a handstand go wrong with my foot getting caught in the line. All would have been fine but the length of the system does not reach the floor and caused a mishap with landing. The cable management broke and I have a damaged foot. Also the pull of the cables is on the weaker side and I would recommend about 9 if you want a taut system.

> 3 dayI worried that the adhesive would fail before using the product. But It has held out extremely well. I had to relocate one of the hooks and the adhesive stuck to first wooden brace like a champ and I had to spend a little time removing it without ruining the plastic or pulling the adhesive apart. Putting it in the second location was fine, not brand new levels of sticky but its holding fine for its intended purpose. If I need another one for my second VR headset I would be perfectly fine getting another one.

> 3 dayWorks great, takes sometime to find the right tension points. I wish it was easier to reset from standing to seated play without too much overhang. Trial and error depending on your playspace. I go from seated to laying on a couch so I either have to much slack when standing or too much tension pulling when laying down that I have to adjust manually between playstyles.

Greater than one weekI bought my son the Valve Index for Christmas, and he purchased these later. I was very impressed with how easy they were to set up. How well they stick to the ceiling and how quiet they are. Well worth the money.
