    • Works and is worth it, with many caveats.
Edition: Wireless Adapter
In December of 2016 I saw a demo of the HTC Vive in a Microsoft store and I was so enthralled that I purchased it on the spot. I bought the Vive Wireless Adapter in March of 2019 and it finally feels like this is how VR is meant to be experienced. I can never go back to a wired headset ever again, even if they improve the optics. Whirling around with reckless abandon is priceless! Well, I suppose it’s priced at $299.99 - but it’s worth it to me is what I am trying to say. That’s the sales pitch for buying one. Now… here’s all the stuff I ended up having to fix: 1) You need an i7 CPU to get this working properly. The minimum specs say it will work with an i5-4590 but I had an i5-6600K and it wasn’t usable. The environment looked like an old Hollywood representation of a glitching VR world, you know with partial pixelations and stutters. Who knew they would get it right! I was prepared to return the Vive Wireless Adapter after 3 days of frustration. Then I bit the bullet and bought an i7-7700K. Bam! Started working. Loaded up Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR and it’s just as fast and clean looking as my wired connection. Note that my i5-6600K was moderately overclocked to 4.2Ghz, the base frequency of the i7-7700K. Now I know they are two different processor types, but generally speaking, I think it’s safe to say that the problem isn’t the clock speed. The i7 does double the threads of the i5, so perhaps that could make a difference. Regardless, I think it’s clear that the CPU was the bottleneck for my problem. Of course, I’m on an Intel/NVidia system. AMD systems may or may not work. I don’t know what the issue is, but it is widely recommended you avoid buying the Vive Wireless Adapter if you have one. 2) The included USB cable is junk. Buy a new one. Often, my headset would undergo a soft reboot as power disconnected. Everything would come back in under a minute, but I would lose sound entirely. The only solution was to drop to desktop and reboot the HMD through Steam VR to get audio back. Other times, I’d get grey blips that lasted about a second. It can throw you off if you’re involved in a lot of physical movement. Imagine you’re out for a job and then suddenly you go blind. It’s downright scary sometimes. Replacing the USB type A male to USB type A male cable fixes all of this. If you want to use the included cable while you wait for a new cable to arrive, tie it securely to your headstrap. The less it can pull or twist around, the better. 3) No charger! The Vive Wireless Adapter does not come with an AC wall charger. They do *kindly* include a USB type A to USB type C cable so that you can use your controller charger. This means you have to charge your controllers, then wait even longer to charge your battery before playing. I ended up buying an HTC TC NE5W rapid charger on eBay. It’s the same one that comes with the controller. Remember, the battery uses Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 (QC3) so you can’t just use any charger with it. At least, I could not use my old cell phone charger. Qualcomm does publish a list of compatible chargers. 4) The install straps might hurt your head, but it’s fixable. I have the original Vive with the cloth strap, but this also applies if you’ve replaced it with the Deluxe Audio Strap. Incidentally, the Vive Pro requires an Attachment Kit that will eat another $60 from your wallet. Amazon calls it a “Pro Add-on”. Installing the Vive Wireless Adapter involves wrapping a velcro strap across the Vive strap that runs over your head. Those velcro straps agitate the top of your head and eventually result in an unavoidable pain. After about an hour, I can’t take it anymore. It’s hard to describe the solution, but hopefully, after purchasing it, you will understand what I am saying: Don’t wrap the velcro around the long flap that ends up under the strap. The online directions at HTC will tell you to do this, but that’s the cause of the pain. Instead, use the velcro to wrap it around the Vive strap only. Now you have a loose flap waving around the underside of your Vive strap. It needs to be tether to the strap, but instead of using the fixed velcro ones on the Wireless Adapter, you want to use your own. I suggest buying a velcro cable tie. Strap the loose flap as close to the HMD as you can get. This way, it will be above your forehead and won’t touch your head. Of course, it can still slip out and then your Wireless Adapter well get all cattywampus. It hasn’t happened to me yet, though, and I’m rather active physically with my Vive. Another option could be double sided tape, though it’d leave a residue if you ever want to remove it. Maybe a better idea is buying a sheet of neoprene and cutting it just a bit larger than your strap widths. Then secure it with ties at all ends, where it doesn’t touch your head. 5) It uses an external battery, which is good and bad. The external battery is somewhat big and heavy. It comes with a battery holder that clips on to your belt. I guess the person who designed this always wears a belt and didn’t think someone might not. I wear suspenders, but that’s not really the issue. I’m usually in my pajamas around the house and that includes when I play my Vive. When my female friends come over to play, they wear yoga pants or a dress…. no belts. I’ve opted to clip it to the back of my Vive, which works well as a counterbalance to the HMD. Oddly, the Vive is more comfortable now than it’s ever been. But, that may not suite you or maybe you have a Deluxe Audio Strap or a Vive Pro, which is designed in such a way as to not accommodate clipping the battery to it. You might try clipping it to an armband or buy a big gun holster. -- Okay, so those are the big issues that I faced. Once overcome, it works very well and I can’t imagine life without it. Here’s a few extra things of note: A) You CAN extend the Wireless Link Box! If you need to extend your Wireless Link Box, buy this cable: TRENDnet TEW-L102. It will give you an extra 6.5ft, essentially doubling the length. I used it to drop the WLB through my wood flooring so I could keep my PC in the bedroom and create a play space in the basement. Also, and this is only a guess, but you can probably use a USB 3.0 PCIe riser to extend it even further. In fact, this was going to be my original plan to extend the Wireless Link Box before reading about the cable extension on Reddit. The max length of USB 3.0 without signal loss is 9.5ft, if I recall. The real question is if you can use the PCIe USb 3.0 riser WITH the coaxial antenna extension to get 16ft without degradation. If someone out there tries it, let me know. I’m very curious. B) Your VWA box will fit in to the HMD slot of your Vive Box! If you are short on storage space, the Vive Wireless Adapter box is small enough to fit right in to the HMD slot of the Vive box. Of course, if you don’t keep boxes, like I do, then I guess this isn’t as interesting of a discovery… C) No paper instructions… The Vive Wireless Adapater installation guide is on-line and not in the box. What’s frustrating is that there are plenty of papers in the box. You know, the kind that you never read with legal and technical information. That means, if you don’t have a second computer or smartphone handy, you’ll have to print the instructions out first. D) Don’t forget to lock your battery in the holster! I say this as someone who has forgotten. You’re battery can easily slide out and fling across the room as you jump and spin around. At the top of the battery holster, there is part with a lot of ridges. Push it forward over the battery to lock it in place. I feel so stupid for overlooking this. Congrats! You’ve read over 1500 words. I hope you felt it was worth it. ... show more

Edition: Wireless Adapter
Before I begin, here are my specs. * i7 4770k CPU * Asus Z87 Sabertooth Motherboard * Nvidia GTX 980 ti * 32GB ram Corsair Vengeance 1333 CONS: * Documentation to setup / Support is crap. It only accounts for specific builds. Here are the things they won't tell you. * No driver support for Windows 7. I had to upgrade to 10. I had been putting it off for various reasons that I won't get into, but it was well worth it for the performance gains. Luckily there is still support to upgrade to Win 10 for free. * I had to use PC-E x16 for the WiGiG card. They say to use a x1 or if you must use a x4, but won't they don't tell you is that you need a motherboard that supports Gen2/3. Luckily my x16 does and it surprisingly worked in it. Luckily I have 2 x16 slots on my MoBo. * You may also need to update your BIOS. I did. I also had to adjust my settings in the BIOS from auto on some of the PCI settings. Huge thanks to Reddit and Google for the knowledge * To get the proper drivers you will need to uninstall the Vive and Steam software and re-install, currently as it stands. All of that alone had me set on leaving a 3 star review. 3 hours later after installing Win 10, re-installing all Vive software, Steam and SteamVr I got it up and running. PROS * NO WIRES!!! I had used a suspension kit that I had bought from here on Amazon that suspended the wires from the ceiling and to relieve the constant tug on the back of my head was amazing. That alone kicked it up to 4 stars. I first started it up with a slight overclock (3.9), since I wasn't sure how Win 10 would do and I threw on Arizona Sunshine. I already knew that the CPU overhead would be kicked up to process the wireless transfer protocol and I figured if I could run at 3.9 on the CPU, no overclock on the 980 and Arizona Sunshine still played decently, then I was in for a surprise. I fortunately was surprised. * Windows 10 performance was an improvement. It handles the immersion performance better by frame dropping differently than Win 7, which allowed the game to flow less choppy when the CPU is under load. It doesn't allow for blocking frames which causes the stutter. I had heard that there would be improvements, but to see it first hand was a breath of fresh air. My first game I made it to level 45. I was stoked. By the time I hit the last level, I think there was around 3000 frames lost total overall, more or less. There was no motion sickness at all. The VR immersion wasn't disrupted to make you feel discombobulated. Not bad. It played very well. * I am still super stoked from the NO WIRES!!!. * Battery life is excellent. I kicked it up a notch and overclocked to 4.3. I threw on Google Earth VR and it flew. It was seamless. Not once did it freeze and show the base station and the open room. It made my day. Afterwards I threw on some BoxVr and TOTF and got my workout in until the battery finally died on me about 3.5 hours in. This is also with Skull candy Crusher headphones plugged in for sound. (Excellent BASS) * You cannot tell that there is a wireless device on your head. It actually helps it feel more snug. (I am using the standard strap.) * The battery pack is also lightweight. I hooked it to the back of my shorts and never had another thought about until the battery died and everything went black. Things to verify before you purchase (Based on my Experience): * PCI slot. You will need an extra slot. Check your motherboard to ensure you can support Gen2 / Gen3. * Windows 10. You will need to upgrade as it stands to get the proper driver. * You need a CPU with the ability to run at least 3.9+ Ghz * 16GB of RAM if you want to play games like Arizona Sunshine, Google Earth. They were capping out at 10 for me. * BIOS is up to date and settings for your PCI slots are where they need to be. (i.e Active and on the right Gen speed. Auto causes issues for some) * Base 980 ti was more than enough. I didn't even try overclocking yet. Check online for user experiences with compatibility of your GPU version. Good to know: * Start the Vive Wireless Application before Vive Station or SteamVR * Don't give up. If you meet the above, you are close. It may just be a one off. You can do it! * Sometimes a restart of the app or the computer is all you need to get things up and running. * This ultimately dropped me to a 4 star review; Battery life is just not long enough. I will need to buy another battery potentially making this a $400 investment. These battery packs take roughly ~6 hours to fully charge. An hour worth of charging will buy you maybe 25 minutes of game time. I'm not about to strap on a wire to charge while I play. That completely defeats the purpose, so I will have to suck it up and buy another battery :( Overall in the end I was pleased. I was able to throw punches, bob and weave, move around the room without having to worry about the wire wrapping around my neck. That bumped me up enough to give it the fifth star. There will be pain in the setup unless you are on the latest and greatest equipment. Do your research beforehand. Make sure you have the specs I mentioned or you will be forking out more money to have the experience. Happy troubleshooting! :P ... show more
