HTC Wireless Adapter for Vive Pro/ Cosmos Series - PC

After years of getting tangled in wires I decided to try this out when I saw it on sale around Xmas time, very happy with it, installation. Was easy and I’m not the most tech savvy person, not completely useless but far from a pro also. I had no problems installing it and the software and it works flawlessly, I picked up an extra battery pack a: INIU Power Bank, 20000mAh Portable Charger USB C in&out, 22.5W PD3.0 QC4.0 Fast Charge External Battery Pack

Got this for my cosmos elite so I could finally finish my dream vr setup, wireless headset, index controllers, and 2.0 base stations. Setup was incredibly simple, it took me less than 20 minutes. The hardest part was getting the headset to connect to the computer, I just had to reinstall the software and press the power button a few times, then it finally connected. At first I was afraid having PCI-E gen 2.0 would be a problem, but it actually turned out to work perfectly fine with my MSI b450 tomahawk. While the page does list that AMD chipsets have issues, this is no longer the case. I have found that this issue was fixed a long time ago with driver updates yet for some reason they still haven't updated the page. As long as you have a capable CPU, I would 100% recommend the adapter, it completely changes the experience and makes your play-space feel much larger. If I were to list one problem though, it would be the battery life. The included battery only gets you up to 2 hours of playtime max, usually less. I play vr all day long, so this is kind of a big deal to me. You can purchase more batteries though, which completely solves the issue.

Removing the umbilical cord and going wireless is awesome, smooth frame rates with 99.9% no stuttering and that 0.1% of a stutter is so small it’s hardly noticeable. Now for the bad….battery life, it comes with 1 battery and it dies just under 2 hours of use and trying to find more batteries or figure out what batteries are compatible, good luck, the few I have found has a price tag of $150-$200/ battery. Overall I definitely recommend but keep your sessions shorter or be prepared to plug the umbilical cord back in to finish your session.

Works great. Makes moving my set up to other rooms...or outside...wayyyyy easier. Re-energized my love of VR. You do have to deal with the battery pack cable, but thats only attached to you not a pc. I use a ravpower 20000mah qc 3.0 in addition to the included brick. Ive spent 4 hours straight on that rav power and it wasnt dead. Included power cable is usb-a to usb-a fyi.

My HTC Vive Pro recently stopped working... it turns out the headset cable failed due to being spun around too much :( I contacted HTC, but they wouldn't do anything. I then looked at the cost of a new cable and it's around $100. Since I know it'll fail like the 1st one did, I decided to get this wireless adapter and it's been amazing. I no longer have to keep track of my rotations (using fpsVR). I can just play and let the guardian system keep me from running into or punching walls or other objects in my room. I've only had the wireless adapter overheat once and shutdown. Other than that, it lasts around 2-3 hours of continuous play, which is plenty for me. I've read online that you can use any battery bank that supports QuickCharge 3, but my battery bank doesn't seem to work. So I just use the 1 official HTC batter that this set comes with. This set comes with everything that you need to get your Vive Pro up-and-running. Just be sure that you have 1 free PCI-E x1 slot available for the add-on card.
