HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

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

So yeah. It is more expensive and you get less than what Valve gives you. But it works and you can order it whenever. The 2.0 arrived after a week, which was sooner than the 2 weeks they suggested it would take. Ill take what I can get if Valve is out of stock.

Dose whats its supposed to do

Got one of these to help my VR setup due to Steam always being out of stock. Sad to find it cost more for a product that feels cheaper and doesnt even come with a wall mount. Outside this issue it works fine, pairs with the system, and so far has not shown any issues. I also bought 4 new all mounts anyways as I wanted some better angles from the ceiling positions I use.

Works well. Tracking is accurate and fast.

Cant mount it on my wall yet and have to wait another week for something to fix it up with. :|

One of my valve index base stations stopped working. I bought this to replace it, worked fine.

I ordered two base stations and it came quickly and was packaged well. When I got everything out and plugged up is when red flags showed up. One of them had the number ‘7’ and the word “loud” all over the sides in sharpie. The other sounded like a jet engine when plugged in. Both flashed blue for a moment then red, meaning critical hardware failure. On the plus side, returning them was easy.

Mine were scratched up and didnt have the film to prevent it that others come with, and beyond that, these are about 30% overpriced compared to a number of other options, and offer fewer features. you get no wiring to plug them into your computer, and even the power cable is cheaper and angled sideways, resulting it unnecessary strain, even if its less obstructive to other plugs than others would be. as the cherry on top, theres no mounting bracket, so if you get these, youll also need one of those. its a standard camera screw, I believe, but mine is still printing out (thank the fact that patents end for 3D printers, am I right?) I think its supposed to be laser based, so I hope these scratches dont affect its accuracy. UPDATE: one was DOA. I suggest you look at a different one.

does what it needs
