HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

If you have a valve index, remember how you get those nice mounting plates in the box? Yeah these dont have that. All you get is the brick and power. You have to buy your own mount. And these cost $50 more. But they work perfectly fine with steam VR with my original base stations.

I ordered two 2.0 Base stations and they arrived in good time, I was very pleased with how fast the shipping was. as I opened the package though I was very disappointed with how it was packed. One flimsy strip of bubble wrap and that was it. The base stations could easily freely move around in the box they were shipped in. I tested both and only one works. Im surprised that even one works. as for the other one I plug it in and it seems alright for about a minute. it does the usual LED flashing blue then turn green. after that though it flashes red signifying hardware failure. The working one works great though tracks perfectly and I have had no issues with it. just really disappointed in how Amazon shipped these.

It has same amber noise like the one come with my index box. I already get used to the noise The package doesnt include mounting which a bit disappointed. Power cable is even shorter than the one come with index.

This base station is $50 more than what steam is selling it for and it does not come with -ANY- mounting hardware or even screws. You gotta do what you gotta do but they are clearly taking advantage of the current situation.

Purchased as a gift for grandson and he loves it!!

Bought this about a month ago everything was fine never touched it once I mounted it on my wall, all of a suddenly I go to plug it in to its power source and it starts blinking red, not sure as to what caused this but now it wont connect to my pc no matter what I do, I heard its a hardware failure but not sure how I will return it if its over the return window time, as it is its just a waste of 200$, broke within a month, currently am contacting steam if they can replace it if possible but well see.

Cable is shorter and arrives bent up, so it doesnt flow down the wall very well. No mount kit, or stand. You pay $50 more, just to get less. I guess if you absolutely cant wait (like me) then get this. Youll prolly be disappointed though.

Update: after originally receiving a 1.0 base station, I returned it and got a replacement which was the correct 2.0 base station. I had no issue setting it up and it works perfectly with my valve index and the other two base stations I already had. Original review: In case this happens to anyone else, I ordered this to be a 3rd base station for my new valve index. But what I received was actually a 1.0 base station, which looks different from the pictures and is not compatible with the 2.0 base stations that came with my headset. 1.0 base stations have a flat front and a button on the back to select channel. 2.0 base stations have a curved front and no buttons. So if you order this and its not working, make sure you actually got what you ordered!

Station works great but doesn’t come with the basic wall mount. The kits that these come with have the mount

Good base station but comes with the 1.0 Wall charger and no wall Mount. Holds up well and tracking is perfect.
