HTC Vive SteamVR Base Station 1.0

Works perfect as long as you understand how they work. These are 1.0 base stations, which means you will not be able to use more than 2 together. If you are like me and just need pretty good FBT to work with your vive trackers then these are perfect. However, if you plan on dancing or doing anything else that requires alot of accuracy within your tracking id suggest going for the 2.0s so you can add more over time. The more baystations the better the tracking as they can rely on one another when one isnt pulling its weight. These however work just fine if you just need decent tracking. Pro tip, theres a free app called Lighthouse PM on the playstore (not sure about apple) that allows you to control the bays from your phone, putting them in standby mode when not in use and turning them on in an instant when you need.

No issues with my older HTC Vive. Plugged in the power cable, and everything showed up in SteamVR as it should. One thing to be aware of, that I didn't know till after I bought this bast station. Apparently you can only use 2 of the 1.0 base stations at a time. I dug through the archives, and forums but everything I found says that you can only use 2 of the 1.0 base stations at a time.

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 that's 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 I'm sure some folks will be in the same situation as me but not have the funds to get the second one

I’ve been playing VR for about 2-3 years now and the base stations do exactly as they’re intended, they’re extremely easy to set up and in my experience they have decent durability considering one of my wallmounts had an issue of falling off the wall occasionally due to me using an alternative version that doesn’t require drilling into the walls and the base station sustained no damage and still worked perfectly fine though I do have carpet floors so results may be different when dropped on hard floors Only thing to remember though is only have them plugged in during VR sessions and when you’re done unplug them, I made the mistake of leaving one of my base stations on for an extremely long period of time which burnt out one of the lights or whatever on the inside which is required for it to function which lead to me having to buy a replacement for it Also you can play VR with just one singular base station however it’s extremely restricted in how much you can move around your playspace since you have to stay facing the in the base station’s direction the entire time, so i’d heavily recommend getting at least 2 of them which will allow you to at the very least have basic 360 degree tracking allowing you to move however you want as long as you’re still within both the base station’s view. And you can go up to 4 base stations if you have a big enough play area in order to get the maximum quality tracking ingame as possible Overall an amazing product despite being a bit pricey

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. It's 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.

Value is incredible on these. If you’re on a budget, pick up two of these instead of 1 2.0. The only reason to get 2.0s is if you want 120hz tracking or if you want to use 3-4 stations for perfect tracking quality.

So, as for what I received, it works great, as advertised. An excellent version 2 replacement. The conditions that led me to ordering this were kind of silly, though. One of my base stations was no longer tracking correctly, and debugging the hardware, fiddling with the mounts and angles, and removing other light sources from the room did nothing to help. So I sent it to the HTC repair center, but now I don't know when to expect it back, so ended up just ordering another one from here to keep things moving. Kind of annoyed by that, but whatever. Imagine my surprise when hooking up the replacement, it was having the same tracking issues. I eventually figured out that there was an environmental factor I hadn't been considering: some framed pictures were put on the wall near the play area recently, and their reflective plexiglass was seriously messing with the invisible lasers that the base stations use. After they were removed from the area, everything worked fine. If you're having tracking issues, consider looking for potentially reflective surfaces rather than jumping to the wrong conclusion like I did, and that includes anything, not just mirrors.

Does not power on and the button is pushed in. Im not happy. I was looking forward to play my VR but I can't.

Chegou em condição excelente e bem embalado. Zero problemas.

Tout est parfait

Muy buenas perooooo si vas a comprar te los Trakers 3.0 recomiendo mejor por solo una observación no por despreciar este producto por qué si es muy buen perooooo tienes sus contra es mejor comprár las bases 2.0 por si te quieres evitar temas de actualización de finware y sacarle más provecho a los Trakers 3.0

Falla muchísimo y el enchufe es americano

I updated my base station 1.0 but after the successful update, steamVR kept on indicating an error. There is a solid RED LED, after the base station fully booted up. Not able to find a solution so, I brought this unit for replacement. This unit does resolve all my issues, after a successful update via bluetooth, base station boot-up, there is no Red LED lite. only a Green one. It works in steamVR, no more error messages. I am happy with my purchase, so glad that was able to find it on Amazon. Highly Recommend!
