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.

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!

It does not say in the description but this is the 2nd generation of lighthouse. It has a different LED Array.... i did not know that at purchase and now I have two different lighthouses that do not sync properly. It works but i wish i knew it was the newer one. Now i might have return or buy a second one to match the new base station. Tracking has been spotty ever since i bought the new lighthouse, even after updating firmware. Be aware guys. Buy these in pairs.

Super cool thing I bought to jam the signal from my tv remote to my tv! My tv uses an infrared remote signal and this thing just screws it all up! Perfect for pranking my dad. Its a pretty solid reliable square box. Works great. 10/10 would buy again. Also, for some reason my VR vive trackers dont work without this thing. Not sure why... definitely need to buy another one for 360 tracking.

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.

The product works as intended. I wish it came with a wall mount, but I wont dock it a star for a personal preference.

AMAZING tracks great but keep in mind u can ONLY have 2 and can’t combine them with different base stations!!!

Great base station. Used for full body tracking for VR.

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 works as expected. Note: does not come with the mounting bracket and hardware.
