HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

I only bought this because I was desperate for more stations, as steam was out of stock. know that the vive (this) version has no mounting hardware, and is 50 dollars more expensive for your trouble

Dose whats its supposed to do

I purchased one of these base stations to add to the two that came with my Valve Index kit. Having 3 base stations is a great way to make sure that you have good tracking no matter what direction you are looking in.

This light house has a markup of $50 compared to the steam store light house, but at least I can order it lol. Also it doesnt come with mounting hardware which seems odd but a 3 pack of mounts is really cheap and I like them better than the mounting hardware that comes with the index.

It was a choice between getting it here for $200 or from valve for $150 + weeks waiting. It just comes down to how much you value your time but its the exact same thing.

wow, my 4th base station was totally necessary and made my tracking good ☺

These things work great, youll find yourself here because steam refuses to restock these. For someone desperate, paying the extra $50 for the same product with no mounting hardware is your choice. I was in need of a 3rd due to PlaySpace lighting and coverage issues. Ordered 1 and it shipped relatively quickly. Died about 2 weeks in so I sent it back to amazon and requested another one. Replacement arrived with red light of death already appearing, so I am now returning that one with a new replacement on the way. I have found most of these break during shipping due to how fragile they are. Amazon customer support is great and refunds you no problem if it breaks within 30 days, if not good luck with HTC support on replacement. If it survives shipping it should be good to go. Ill update if any more issues occur. No news is good news.

Please youtube videos before you buy this or you will regret it.

Same station that came with the index. Plugged in and conected to the system automatically. The only difference is the power cord which is slightly shorter and a different shape on the plug. No mounting hardware and $50 more than if you got from valve directly... But they are sold out at the time of writing. A good mount is only $10-20 so if you need one now, this is worth it.

I am not sure they are worth $200 each but they work with my Pimax 8KX. No issues, plug and play.
