HTC Vive Base Station

Delivery was slow and the product was damaged. It works fine and the price was good but the bolt for attaching to a stand was broken off.

One of my Vive Pre base stations failed. These were the earliest versions, so they dont automatically turn off. It had been running continuously for almost a year, and likely succumbed to vibration induced damage. It had spent some time attached to one of those extending floor to ceiling poles a lot of people have been recommending, but the outer housing of that pole wasnt snug against the inside part, allowing a bit of rattle. Anyway, even though they are vastly different versions, they seem to be working fine. I have them in Wireless mode right now, with no tracking issues after a week of testing.

They work as expected. No issues, easy setup, been in use for a couple weeks. If you have the spare money get the newer ones though.

These are fantastic for what they are but this generation does not work in compatibility with the first generation of base stations. These are a mid cycle refresh with a different led pattern and seemingly better tracking than my 2016 vive bs, but there was zero indication on this site that they would not be compatible, if you have the first gen Vive and need to replace one of your base stations you should get it repaired through HTC, because I bought this one I had to buy a second one to get a full setup working and now I have a useless base station sitting on my table. This does track what seems to be noticeably better than the first generation so I guess thats good but I still would rather have only bought one given there listed as the same product. I have a pretty huge room scale setup and they do the job well, there are basically no dead zones or problems tracking once you go through the hassle of getting it set up which for me required a lot of waiting since I had to buy another one. At least they work really well individually since Im sure some folks will be in the same situation as me but not have the funds to get the second one

i do not know how but somehow it can track even when my vive trackers are behind the base station too.

I normally have never had any problems with refurbished items. However, when arrived not only did it not have the power cable but when I used a different power cable it turned on but there was a blinking red light. Which means there is an internal mechanical error. Next time I would hope they checked their products more carefully before sending them back out.

These things are like indestructible or made of Nokias because they fell from a like 13-15 ft ceiling multiple times while on and still work perfectly fine.

Came in tip top shape

it works, thanks!

Quality products working great
