HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

3 stars is as much as I can give these even though they work perfectly. 1 star lost for the fact that they up charge you $50 but dont even include mounting hardware, causing you to spend at least an additional $10 just to mount them. That much more for the same base station with no hardware is unforgivable. Second star lost due to cord length. Unless youre mounting it directly above, or just a few feet over from, an outlet, youll need extension cords. Summary: Yes, they work, very well, but if you are lucky enough to catch the Valve branded ones on steam for $150 with longer cables and mounting hardware, jump on those!

Was not functioning when it arrived and was throwing out error codes as soon as I turned it on, but on the plus side, they never received my return. Next time Ill just set $200 on fire.

The unit functions fine. The price is hefty by about 15% above the vomprtiyy tu ion but the competition had none in-stock

You need to connect the Base Station in your PC with USB to update firmware update in SteamVR, then remove the USB and put it 7 feet up and place it in the corner you need at least 2 of them to get the best experience for fullbody or Valve index VR, change the first Base Station channel from back theres a small button the Base Station it gonna blink blue then green it mean connected and tracking, Thank to the seller its Trusted!

Works perfectly. Price is just steeper than on Steam, but they have been out of stock on steam so I went with this.

Improves tracking in large playspaces and reduces the chance of losing tracking from occlusion.

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.

Power cord could be longer and the price could be lower.

The base station itself is the exact same as the ones sold by Valve. That is not my issue. My issue is these are $50+ more expensive than the base stations sold by Valve on Steam. That wouldnt be that big of a deal if these base stations from HTC didnt also come with objectively worse accessories. Mounting hardware: Haha get screwed. You thought your $200 base stations would come with mounting hardware just like the $50 cheaper ones from Valve? Power cable: Not only is the cable that comes with these base stations sold by HTC significantly shorter than the ones sold by Valve, but it is also stiffer and does not hang nicely straight down the wall. The power brick is also much larger than the one Valve gives you. Overall: DO NOT BUY unless you absolutely cannot wait to get them from Valve. You will need to buy mounting hardware and have to deal with a shorter/uglier cable.

Works with valve index as intended. Excellent quality and I dont know what people are saying about these base stations making whining noises, this was quiet as could be.
