HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

Works well. Tracking is accurate and fast.

Works great as intended. Cable is a bit shorter than standard steamvr base stations.

If you have a valve index, remember how you get those nice mounting plates in the box? Yeah these dont have that. All you get is the brick and power. You have to buy your own mount. And these cost $50 more. But they work perfectly fine with steam VR with my original base stations.

Cant mount it on my wall yet and have to wait another week for something to fix it up with. :|

3 stars is as much as I can give these even though they work perfectly. 1 star lost for the fact that they up charge you $50 but dont even include mounting hardware, causing you to spend at least an additional $10 just to mount them. That much more for the same base station with no hardware is unforgivable. Second star lost due to cord length. Unless youre mounting it directly above, or just a few feet over from, an outlet, youll need extension cords. Summary: Yes, they work, very well, but if you are lucky enough to catch the Valve branded ones on steam for $150 with longer cables and mounting hardware, jump on those!

Im disappointed with this product. The cord is far shorter than the one that Valve sells, but this one costs over fifty dollars more. I would recommend waiting for a valve restock to get base stations instead of buying this from HTC.

I wanted to buy two base stations for my VR setup in June but Valve was out of stock at the time. Amazon came through with these. If you set them up properly for standing or room experience, they work great. Key point, dont leave them on all the time. The lasers inside spin at extremely fast RPM and you will wear out the base stations over time. Thats very important. With bluetooth this is easy, but wired, you have to manually unplug the power to the base stations. I left mine on for two months and I felt like a complete imbecile. Thankfully, I only play VR games infrequently because Im busy. They still work fine, but Ill be monitoring them over time for stability and performance issues.

Very good 2.0 base station for VR.

I purchased one of these base stations to add to the two that came with my Valve Index kit. Having 3 base stations is a great way to make sure that you have good tracking no matter what direction you are looking in.

Cable is shorter and arrives bent up, so it doesnt flow down the wall very well. No mount kit, or stand. You pay $50 more, just to get less. I guess if you absolutely cant wait (like me) then get this. Youll prolly be disappointed though.
