HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

Gave as a gift

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

Was a great upgrade from the 1.0 stations! Has helped tremendously with fully body 360 tracking.

Its amazing the cable I received with it was around 16feet long it just doesnt come with a mounting kit so I would get one as well again overpriced but worth it as long as you can afford it!

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.

Not sure if these are refurbished units because the original basestations that came with my Valve Index dont have this problem. Both of the basestations I purchased here off of amazon required a firmware update and both were bricked, refused to start again, after powering down after the update.

I ordered two and they both went out within a year. I didnt move them when they were placed so it wasnt that either. And my valve index base stations have been moved twice and theyre still working perfectly after a year and a half. I also started a refund on one back in August 2021 and they never did refund me my money, and the other one as of Dec 22 2021 went bad so I cant return that one. So just avoid this.

This is nothing more than an Valve Index base station in HTC packaging. And while the price is $50 more than what Steam lists theirs at, you get less in the box. The Steam version includes: a 15 power cable, Mounting Equipment, Regional Power Adapters, and a cleaning cloth. Dont Buy HTCs version unless Steams listing is Out of Stock or unavailable in your region.

Very good 2.0 base station for VR.

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!
