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.

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.

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

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!

Ordered 2 for my Valve Index to replace Base Station 1.0s. Paired easily and worked perfectly with my existing mounts.

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

Not much to say about this except it does what its suppose to do. If you want full body immersion you need these and vive trackers. I suggest 4 base stations with a large play space and 2 if your play space is small.

Great base station. Unlike previous models this base station goes to sleep and wakes up when called on. Ive had these for about 6 months now and use at least 3 times a week. I now own 3 of them. I have recommend them to family and friends. *sticky mount in pic not included

I brought one from Dell, base station 2.0, it works immediately with pimax 8kx. This one no, it took me so much effort to make it work only once, then never work again. This one from amazon said it was assembled in US. I suspect it has out of dated firmwares, but without vive VR, you could not even update by yourself. I bought another one from Dell, now it works out of box again. Wasted me 200 dollars, Amazon!

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.
