Review: Sensor Itself Is Solid, Just Pray Yours Arrives Intact - Ordered this to replace my old sensor that died during a move (the original lasted me a solid 5 years, no complaints there). Unfortunately, this is how the replacement arrived. Dented and actually pierced through the box, and the sensor itself is non-working out of the box. I was on vacation when it showed up, so by the time I got back I had missed the return window. Lesson learned on my end. Setting the delivery situation aside, the sensor itself is a great product when it works. The Vive setup does have one quirk worth knowing: you need both base stations working in perfect sync to actually play, so if one goes down you’re stuck until you replace it. Annoying but that’s just how the system is built. Rating the sensor as a product, easy 5 stars. It does its job well and the previous one held up for years of regular use. The delivery experience itself I’d rate 1 star, but that belongs in a separate review. If you’re buying, just inspect the box the moment it arrives and don’t wait like I did.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Review: Perfect for my usage! - 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. ## Features - Includes One base station, one power adapter, and one power cable - Fits standard threaded mounting points - Power cable: 8' 2'' (2.5m) L - Stand and mounting hardware not included - Compatible with VIVE, VIVE Pro, VIVE Pro Eye and VIVE Cosmos Elite headsets ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M01B92P | | Additional Features | Room-Scale Virtual Reality | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,088 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #152 in PC Virtual Reality | | Brand | HTC | | Built-In Media | AC Adapter, Cable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | HDMI or DisplayPort or USB | | Connector Type | HDMI, DisplayPort, USB | | Controller Type | HTC Vive Controllers | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,126) | | Display Resolution Maximum | 2160 x 1200 pixels | | Display Type | VR Display | | Field Of View | 100 | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | HTC | | Mfr Part Number | 99HAFS002-00 | | Model Name | 99HAFS002-00 | | Model Number | 99HAFS002-00 | | Operating System | Windows Vista;Windows XP;Mac;Linux | | Platform | SteamVR, Windows | | Resolution | 2160 x 1200 | | Screen Size | 6 Inches | | Sensor Technology | Position Tracking | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming | | UPC | 821793048327 703856527027 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty | | Warranty Type | Limited Warranty | ## Images ![HTC Vive SteamVR Base Station 1.0 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fUN4ArPrL.jpg) ![HTC Vive SteamVR Base Station 1.0 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+p1F3N0mL.jpg) ![HTC Vive SteamVR Base Station 1.0 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Pg3ReifoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you run the htc vive with 3 base stations for more accurate tracking or are these meant just to be replacements of one of the two originals?** A: Currently, these are just replacements -- only 1 or 2 base stations work as a time. You can have 1 base station in A mode, 2 base stations in A+B mode (with synch cable attached), or 2 base stations in B+C mode (no cable, optical synch). If a base station fails under warranty (usually a year), you can send get in touch with HTC to seek repair at the cost of shipping to them. So, buying it here would usually be for when you can't wait. Also note that new base station designs should be coming "soon" (probably in some months as of April 2017). The new designs will have more reliable single-rotor rotation and a wider angle. **Q: Do the red lights stay on all the time?** A: The 3x3 red lights do stay on, yes, but they are hardly noticeable. They are also a good way to determine if they're powered on or not. **Q: does this come with 2 or just one** A: Just one... as the replacement of a damaged one **Q: Does this work with Vive pro 2 headset?** A: The 2.0 light houses work with all Vives and Valve Index, however their accuracy is limited in larger spaces compared to the newer 3.0 light houses. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sensor Itself Is Solid, Just Pray Yours Arrives Intact *by L***S on May 4, 2026* Ordered this to replace my old sensor that died during a move (the original lasted me a solid 5 years, no complaints there).

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 ## Frequently Bought Together - HTC Vive SteamVR Base Station 1.0 - HTC Vive Tracker (3.0) - Rebuff Reality Trackstraps for Vive Tracker 3.0, 2.0, Vive UltimateTracker, Tundra Tracker – Empower Full Body Tracking in VR Chat, Dance Dash, and Other FBT Apps (Tracker Sold Separately), Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/38250280-htc-vive-steamvr-base-station-1-0](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/38250280-htc-vive-steamvr-base-station-1-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
