HTC Vive Base Station

Why does this stay on when I power everything down? I feel that high pitched whining and inside movement doesnt need to be happening all night. I unplug everytime. Had to send 1 back for repair already.

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.

Product connected quickly and doesnt lose tracking.

We got a used headset and needed the base stations and new controllers. Ordered these base stations and they work great except for one of them. The bottom inlet that you are supposed to be able to use to mount the base station to stands or wall hangs does not have threading. The back one has threading but we are unable to angle the base station if it is attached from the back. As it is now, with not being able to angle, we have deadspots when trying to map our room area.

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

Unfortunately the used ones I bought were used because of the fact that they no longer function correctly. They did like to pair to one another and they had internal errors back to back

Fast shipping, came new in box, works great. Just be sure to update the firmware through Steam VR before using it or else it may track weirdly due to software mismatch.

Its impossible to properly review this item since two base stations are required for the system to work and one didnt work right out of the box.

My son received the base station and as soon as he plugged it in and tried it, it turned red and wouldnt track movements at all. He is very upset to spend all that money for junk. We are so disappointed!

I like that it will work with other headsets too like the Valve Index for when I get that. This was definitely a good buy.
