HTC Vive Base Station

Works as it should

My first one broke in my first week of owning it this one for being apparently used was in amazing condition and still works perfectly two months after purchase

So, as for what I received, it works great, as advertised. An excellent version 2 replacement. The conditions that led me to ordering this were kind of silly, though. One of my base stations was no longer tracking correctly, and debugging the hardware, fiddling with the mounts and angles, and removing other light sources from the room did nothing to help. So I sent it to the HTC repair center, but now I dont know when to expect it back, so ended up just ordering another one from here to keep things moving. Kind of annoyed by that, but whatever. Imagine my surprise when hooking up the replacement, it was having the same tracking issues. I eventually figured out that there was an environmental factor I hadnt been considering: some framed pictures were put on the wall near the play area recently, and their reflective plexiglass was seriously messing with the invisible lasers that the base stations use. After they were removed from the area, everything worked fine. If youre having tracking issues, consider looking for potentially reflective surfaces rather than jumping to the wrong conclusion like I did, and that includes anything, not just mirrors.

It was simple and easy to setup and it tracks well but having to buy wall mounts or tripods separately is kind of annoying

So I got 2 base station around last month, They both are working find for me until around this month, one of the base station give me a fault 3 error. I call the support for help and they say they can’t do anything .....so is there any other way I can return 1 base station and get my money back?

They think I don’t like about this product is that it only last two weeks and I I buy these twice with the same results

I bought this as a replacement for my kits failing lighthouse unit. Its performed with no issues and set up was painless. Im now able to stream VR without issues using SteamVR through my vive headset.

Its good I like it. Works good with vrchat. Setting up is pretty easy I can say. Had to remain calm and follow the instructions. Something about having it plugged in with USB to computer then holding down the bottom in the back and then while plugging in the power cord. Then it should prompt you to update.

Great base station. Used for full body tracking for VR.

Works perfectly to use for seated play. If you turn off the other base stations, it will remember your seated layout. I use smart plugs to simplify the set up.
