Valve Index Base Station (1 Pack)

Product Information

Choose suitable locations for mounting the base stations in your play area. It's important to place them securely on stable surfaces or use compatible mounting accessories.

I just found Valve's own guide for setting up the Index. For anyone else who is new to the Index, here is the link... https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9140-EYIL-0086 During the setup process, ensure that the base stations are within the recommended play area and their positions are accurately registered in the VR system.I would like 100% SS, no motion smoothing / ASW / frame doubling. 80 Hz / 80 fps. I have an i5 9600k @ 4.9 GHz and a RTX 2080 ti 11 Gb graphics card. My rig is in my signature below. The base stations will have to be angled down quite a lot to be pointed at my headset, almost 45 degrees, is this ok? I'm limited by my front base station having to be mounted above my window. If I can find something similar in the UK then that might be a good option for me, then I can have 1 base station mounted on the wall in front and to the right and one tripod behind me and to the left. the set comes with two base stations which is all you need but the HTC ones work fine they just dont come with extra mounting hardware if you want a 3rd base station Thank you all for taking the time to read through all of this, please post any hints or tips below, it is much appreciated!

To start with I will only be playing seated games, but might try Half Life Alyx or something similar at a later date. When I was using my Oculus Rift CV1 with Oculus Home environment I really enjoyed using the hand controllers to aim the Ray-gun and bow and arrow! Unlike the Oculus Rift CV1 (my previous headset) it would seem that the only software I need is Steam VR, is this correct? The rear right Base Station had a lit up B displayed on the front, I pressed the button and it changed to C The Valve Index Base Stations require a power source to operate. They come with power adapters that need to be connected to a power outlet. One question is if you are going to use this just for seated games or also roomscale. If you plan to play roomscale maybe you would want ot maximize your space to the full room space (not only 1.5+1.5 diagonal but longer distance. Base stations support larger distances).Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope to be up and running when my mounting plates arrive tomorrow (fingers crossed) I have found the online manual and will answer my own questions in green... for those in the same boat! If you move the pods slightly (the cat or dog touching them is enough), you must re-setup your playspace a-new as it will be off, and you might end up smashing the wall and the cat or dog. A hassle. But still a choice.

I won't be using my Hifi system whilst flying, so there won't be vibration whilst I'm in VR but it's a good point that I hadn't thought of. The vibration whilst blasting out Led Zep on my Hifi might move the base stations. Both Base Stations have a green light in the upper half of the front, 9 red lights in a square on the front and the letter A on the left one and the letter B on the right one. When they are powered down they just have a muted green light. I don't know if this is relevant, I'm just trying to provide as much info as possible to try to get to the bottom of this! I hear what you're saying regarding the adhesive maybe not being strong enough, those Vive base stations are quite heavy! I have placed my Base Stations each the same distance from where my head will be in VR, with Base Stations about 1.8 metres / 6 feet apart and about 1 metre / 3 feet 4 inches in front of my chair. is this the optimum position? I have read that some people use 1 Base station in front of the VR area (for me, a chair) and 1 behind, which setup is better?Each of the Vive Base Stations came with their own power supply, do the Base Stations need to be plugged into the mains at all times? Yes I'm finally getting round to setting up my second hand Valve Index with controllers and HTC Vive base stations. Unfortunately the kit didn't come with an instruction manual, and whilst I will search the internet for a guide to set up my gear, I would still appreciate some advice from those who have experience with the Index. Could it be that my Base Stations are too close together? they are pointing at each other on a diagonal 240 cm 2.4 m apart Ok so got everything set up yesterday evening, however spent a lot of time with it - one controller was giving me grief updating the firmware but finally got it to take." I was giving to buy a valve index in August but after seeing so many people having problems, I decided to go for the oculus quest 2 which is wireless and trip free. It has done me good for nearly 3 months
