Greater than one weekThese trackers work perfectly for VRChat if you want full body. Theyre a bit more expensive than the older version, but they last about 3 hours longer per charge. Though, Id recommend you pick up a USB-3 hub as well so you dont have to use 3 USB ports, one dongle for each one.

Greater than one weekIm using these with a Valve Index for full body tracking. Easy to set up, and fantastic tracking accuracy. Note that each tracker needs its own USB dongle, so if youre planning to get three trackers for full body tracking be sure that youve got three USB ports available on your PC.

> 3 dayI recently purchased 3 of these for full body tracking. For what you get, these are just some little plastic pucks and not worth $99 a piece. Honestly, not even worth the price if they gave you three for $99. Seriously, there isnt much to these trackers and probably cost them maybe $10 a piece to produce, if that. Now, that said, the experience is absolutely worth the price. Being able to go into VR with full body presence is just something else. Not too many games support it, but the ones that do completely changes how you play. Pros: 1. After the initial pairing and update of firmware, they connect quickly and consistently. 2. I cant really think of any specific pros. They work. You kinda forget about the trackers and just get immersed in the game. Cons: 1. Charging is on the slow side. Im used to the Index controllers having fast charging, so using these included USB 2.0 cables to charge can be fairly slow in comparison. 2. Battery life could be better. 3. This one isnt really a con, but it does make me question the QC on these devices. 1 of the trackers I got has a yellow charging light, instead of a orange light. Not a problem really, but it is a bit of an eye sore when they are charging to see that on tracker with the wrong colored light. Overall, I wont fault it for the one with the wrong colored charging light, but I will ding it one star because of the slow charging and battery life. I honestly cant wait to see what the next thing in VR tech will be for full body tracking.

> 3 dayIve had a host of constant issues, and every person I have spoken to on VRChat has experienced similar problems. Once you have them working, theyre GREAT. The technology of full body tracking is amazing. The problem is, virtually every time I turn these things on, I have to reconfigure or troubleshoot something, or the entire thing. 4 out of 5 times I use them I have to re-pair, unpair, swap, relaunch, and do a bunch of fiddling to get everything working the way its supposed to. Its an enormous pain in the tush almost every time. I can change literally nothing in my configuration, and have to reconfigure it next time I use it. Its nonsensical. One of the pucks also refuses to power on when I press the button, unless I first plug it into my PC. It wont power on when plugged into a USB charger, it will only turn on when plugged into a PC USB port. Its not a matter of a defective battery or being uncharged, because once its on, it stays on for hours. What could cause such a strange issue, I dont know. Defective right out of the box and Ill need to send it back for replacement. Pain in the tush.

Greater than one weekI can play with my feet now, Im... not super into that but I found some enjoyment doing all the funny poses. my online friends sure were happy, so I think the trackers are doing a good job of that. to call these good trackers is a bit arbitrary, there isnt any other solution (other than the Kinect) for full-body atm. I mean, they are just gizmos that allow for extra tracked body parts. what else are ya gonna need? other than 3 of these and the belt straps?

> 3 dayIf youre looking to buy these specifically for VRChat, and youre on the edge about purchasing them, buy them. Being able to move your legs and hips is a complete game changer, the experience to me was comparable to being in vr for the first time. Simply cannot play VRChat anymore without using these, so much of the experience is lost.

> 3 dayThey are easy to use I’m using them on my oculus and they track very well and I using one base station 2.0 to connect them and to track them, they are very light and I’m happy with them.
