HTC Vive Base Station

I have owned 4 of these. 3 of them have failed due to internal mechanical issues. I am so fed up with these things but I need them for my VR to work. Im considering making a case for a refund for my base stations. I hope HTC will work with me.

Works well

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

For the amount of money the whole system costs, its crazy flaky and buggy. Ive had the thing for about a week and out of the 10 times I went to use it 3 times did it start up with not having to find the headset or to find out the battery died for the controllers or the head set couldnt find them. At least the controllers have a charge port.. but Why do the batteries die when not in use? Ive had to charge the controllers more often than I actually used the thing because the few times I went to use it, the batteries where dead. Then after they were charged. I had to waste another 20 minutes trying to pair them. For a system over $1,000 it needs to be on right away, all the time consistently. It needs to be working even when its off to be ready at a moments notice. If this thing was one of my employees, I would have fired them.

Worked immediately for me upon power-up. Good product.

Unfortunately, this is now my third base station Ive had for my Vive. Ive had the included 2 since launch and one day one has a rotor failure that would not be covered by warranty, and repairing it would cost about as much as buying a new one. So I bought one here. Less than a month after I bought the base station, it had the same failure as the first. So I had to return it and get a new one. And that was the only good part about the base station really, the amazon return service. If you have a vive I do recommend buying your replacement equipment here to keep from going through the hassle that is the Htc customer support.

Quality products working great

Just got this 12/01/2020, 9 lights, made in Taiwan 2020/09 works perfect, syncs with my old one. Original HTC Vive well over a year old.
