Frequently asked questions
The Valve Index VR Full Kit includes a range of components for a full virtual reality experience. The kit features the Valve Index Headset, two controllers, and two base stations. It also comes with a power adapter, mounting hardware, charging cables, cleaning cloth, and the necessary USB and HDMI connection cables. Moreover, it provides access to a free digital copy of 'Half-Life: Alyx'.
Yes, the Valve Index VR kit is backward compatible with HTC Vive's hardware, including Vive Wands and Vive base stations. This cross-compatibility allows you to mix and match components. But for the best experience, it is recommended to use all the components of the Valve Index kit together.
Valve Index stands out among VR kits mainly due to its high-fidelity virtual reality. Its dual 1440x1600 RGB LCDs provide 50% more subpixels resulting in an increased sharpness for the same rendering cost. In addition, it has a 120Hz/144Hz refresh rate, which is higher compared to a typical 90Hz VR headset, reducing latency and improving gameplay. The Index also features 'room-scale' VR capability, allowing you to physically walk or move within your play area.
Valve Index requires a high-spec PC for optimal operation. Minimum system requirements are a Dual Core processor with Hyper-Threading and a graphics card equivalent to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, or an AMD RX480. Preferred system requirements, however, would be a quad-core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or better. The PC must also have available DisplayPort (or Mini DisplayPort) and USB 3.0 ports.

🚀 Abunda's Overview
This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.
The product, though on the pricey side, is generally well-regarded for its excellent performance and compatibility with various devices. Some customers reported issues with the base stations and controllers, but these were usually rectified via replacement or self-fixes. The fast shipping and ability to deliver to countries where purchasing directly from Steam is unavailable was highly praised.
Pros

Cons
- 🔌Occasional issues with base stations and controllers, some needing replacement.

- 💰Generally considered overpriced by some customers.
Should I Buy It?
Yes, if you're a VR enthusiast on the lookout for a stellar gaming experience and you've checked the compatibility with your gaming system. Do be ready to potentially pay a premium for the product, given its high demand and the charges for international shipping.
This is awesome virtual reality set to purchase the graphics are out of this world! Very easy to use and the durability of this product is the best! Everyday player and highly recommended

I know everyone here is complaining about the price but I ordered from here because steam doesn’t deliver the index to my country (Kuwait) beside that.. the product got delivered fast and everything was perfect and sealed but I can’t talk about the headset because I didn’t do my research and I didn’t know that it will not work with my gaming laptop but that was fine because i have oculus quest 2 and i’ve been using the index controllers with the quest and the controllers are perfect the base stations are also perfect plus it will be helpful for me in the future if i wanted to buy trackers for the full body since i have two base stations now. I would recommend this but make sure that your gaming laptop or pc is compatible with the index.

This is a zero-star review, even though Amazon apparently believes in participation-trophy ratings. I ordered the Valve Index VR Full Kit about 6 weeks ago when it was priced at $1,076.00 via 3rd party seller "QC_Wholesale". It is highly-suspect that the seller is now listed as "Moose Ventures" with a price of $1,649.00. Regardless, when the kit arrived, the manufacturer's box (black with an embossed product name) had the appearance of being previously opened & then sloppily taped shut with a transparent-tape hand-dispenser (used typically when moving). Even though all the VR components were present and intact, the base stations did NOT have the protective peel-away film on the front glass surface (to prevent accidental scratching), nor did the VR headset have protective peel-away film for the lenses. NONE of the components were sealed in factory-provided plastic. And one of the small boxes containing the multi-language booklets was dislodged & appeared to have two of the four circular Velcro feet ripped away from the paper lining of the box's interior. All in all, this looked like something you'd pick up in a garage sale. This being my second VR kit, I was already familiar with the setup. Yet, after several hours of troubleshooting, the headset would not function at all (no video input). So, 36 hours after I received this item, I applied for & received a return-shipping label. It's important to stress that under the category for reason-for-return, I selected "DEFECTIVE ITEM". Fast-forward to 2 weeks later, I was notified I would be getting a refund, MINUS A $275 RESTOCKING FEE. This was unacceptable for me to be dinged $275 for returning something that was clearly defective & I complained to both QC_Wholesale as well as Amazon. And all I got were "crickets". And how do I know for certain that the Headset was defective? Because I did what I should have done in the first place: I ordered direct from Valve instead. Just 2 days ago, I received the Valve's VR kit, installed it in the exact same way as the previous QC_Wholesale headset and this new one worked perfectly.

The quality is good and it’s a comfortable use. It would be better if the cord to plug in was longer but other than that, I have absolutely no complaints

Best VR Headset for its price, I'm still in shock at how cool the controllers are along with the headset. 10/10 would buy again
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024 by msr47gaming
I set up and tested the headset and base stations and everything works great! I mainly bought this to use in VRC and am happy with how it was delivered, thank you very much! P.s Don't mind the left base station, it accidentally got that way when i was opening the package/how i carried it in.

arrived in good condtion. sadly controllers have the known clicking issue. but its minor and I'm ok with it (for now) I'm happy with this purchase even when its over priced. but since I can't buy it directly from steam, I have no other choice. anyway, I'd like to thank the seller for making buying the index possible for people who live in countries that steam doesn't ship to. 3 stars coz of over pricing and and contolles issue

Could not order from steam so it was my only option. We already know about the steam price so I rate the product. I received a high quality brand new sealed product as expected. I would recomand to look at compatible game list as some of the game I own wont goes well without mapping controler. As an aditional info, it takes time, and you will have to pay large international custom fee
