HTC Vive Base Station

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

Theres no problem Ive had in particular with the base stations, but I did have to order this replacement because mine broke. I didnt have the tripods yet and so my station was sitting on other high up places like a bookshelf when it fell off. Just from falling about 6~ feet and hitting carpet was enough to break one of these.

Was a direct replacement. I dont see a difference from the original equipment.

You only need TWO base stations. If you buy THREE, you would have to learn how to connect the 3rd base station to VM aka Virtual Machine, which I learned/heard from others, is painstaking and a waste of time. Make you set the base stations high up on the corners, or you will deal with tons of tracking issues. So please understand that if you want 3 base stations, then just buy the 2.0 HTC VIVE base stations instead. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

After spending way more money than these things are truly worth, they randomly break entirely. HTC is aware that this is an issue but doesn’t do anything about it. Their solution is to buy new ones. I’ve been through about 3 of these in 6 months. They don’t even get touched so there is no misuse involved. Please don’t waste your money on HTC products. They don’t care.

This product is great with the 2.0 vive trackers and is definitely the better option to have if you are just getting into vull body vr as it is cheaper than the 2.0 base station. One thing I would like to warn you about is to never under any circumstances get a used base station. I made that mistake before and ended up getting a $114 paperweight, there is likely something gonna be wrong with the used base station such as a faulty motor, scratches, bad wire, or at worst a broken laser diode. Always buy these things new.

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.

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!

Amazon shouldnt update these base stations as this is how the base station turns out to be broken and doesnt provide tracking or any working ability

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.
