I just bought mine a week ago and they arrive tomorrow, how long are the base station cables, I prepared some things to put them but all depends on how long they are
They are surprisingly long, mine are right now installed in cable channels but from measuring it along the wall it seems to be just about five meters in total. Keep in mind my set is now three years old, it's not impossible that some aspect of the SKU might have changed, but it seems a reasonable to still expect that length.

Nope, controllers connect straight to the headset and I believe if you want to use BT power management for the base stations that is in the headset? In any case, it is not required.
@@pianoplayz7910 It updates it through the cable witch connects to the pc and the controllers and base stations connect via Bluetooth built into the headset.
@@mukafahat_aldubab_al-alktruni depends on your use case, if you like full-body tracking and generally tend to spend more time in VR, then I would go for index, since it’s basestation tracked, which results in super-easy + super accurate fullbody setup, it’s also wired, which results in no streaming artifacts, no fucking around with battery life and less hassle in general, just click a button on your controller and you’re good to go, also knuckle controllers are unmatched, full finger tracking is highly appreciated… but if you’re getting your first VR headset and just want to experience casual VR, then quest would probably be a better choice (and cheaper, of course)
Base stations don't need an active data connection to the PC, they just connect to power. Then if you can extend the headset cable to reach another room, or drill a hole through a wall, yes you can do VR in the next room over or the floor below, etc.
you can edit commens, and yes the pc dosnt matter the specs and os do, you need at minemum a gtx 1070 and a i7 to run comforablty, and windows is recomended as thats all i know works for sure
Because my extra base stations had arrived before this, and I already put them up, meaning I could save putting up the included ones until later, giving me a total of four v2 base stations.
It requires DisplayPort, but if you have a Thunderbolt/miniDP on it, possibly. Kind of depends on specs if things will run well, so mileage will definitely vary.
@@jandti7335 do you mean if it provides power? I don't think so, that's very unusual for PC devices in my experience, what would be called plug-in power on a recorder. But, I've never used the port myself, so it's just a guess, you'd have to look up specifications to know for sure.
Can I get a valve even if i have a gaming laptop with core I7 and a 2060 I’m pretty sure I have a 2060 or more so doesn’t that mean I only need the correct plugs??
Performance wise that should work, I think, unless it being a laptop means it has limitations I don't know about. The main problem is to get a working DisplayPort connection then, I don't think most laptops have something for that directly, although might be accessible through USB-C I guess. I don't have any experience of running the Index off of a laptop myself.
they sell new for $1k which is what makes a lot of people not get them, but you can get a really nice used one for anywhere between $400-$700, im about to get one soon for about $450 (i know this comment is like 4 months old but i figured i'd respond anyways)
I think I will save up for a new pc and then get a index, im not sure if I’m just ganna use my quest 3 instead (no problem about the late reply I actually appreciate you replying)
@@the_real_menomusic what are your pc's specs? you might not even need a new one for the index, if i remember correctly a nvidia gtx 1080 or better gpu can run vr just fine. might not be the best graphics but it gets the job done
@@the_real_menomusic i see, if your computer is kind of outdated i would upgrade instead like you said if i were you. one last thing though, facebook marketplace is probably your best bet for a used valve index btw
Got one question is a 3060 ti and a i7 enough to run a valve?
more than enough
considering my 3070 can stream boneworks on twitch in 1080p 7500kbps, yeah its more than enough
Easy
I would say depends on the I7 but you really should be fine if it's anything from the last 8 ish years
Can you tell me exactly where to put the plugs?

hey for all those who have a valve index, do you need bluetooth in your pc for one?, coz mine does not have bluetooth and i really want to get one
Nope, controllers connect straight to the headset and I believe if you want to use BT power management for the base stations that is in the headset? In any case, it is not required.
@@BOLL7708 does your pc have bluetooth in it? and if i wanted to update the base stations, or the controllers how would i do that?

i wish i could get oen but i have a bunny and he chews every cable he can
just got mine and i say its still worthh the price
I just bought mine yesterday, still waiting for it to come. I’m really excited for it

Do you think it’s better than Quest 3?

I'm just wondering. Is it possible to plug in everything to a PC in one room but dislocate stations and play VR games in another?
Base stations don't need an active data connection to the PC, they just connect to power. Then if you can extend the headset cable to reach another room, or drill a hole through a wall, yes you can do VR in the next room over or the floor below, etc.
Hey man. Can i ask where did you get your desk from
It's really old and something I got for free, I believe it originates from Kinnarps, not sure if available outside Sweden but possibly.
@@BOLL7708 thanks for the response man appreciate it 👍🏻

Steam has a free software to verify if your computer is compatible
Why did you not get the base station out
Because my extra base stations had arrived before this, and I already put them up, meaning I could save putting up the included ones until later, giving me a total of four v2 base stations.
May I ask what do you do for a living

@@BOLL7708 cool, what language do you prefer to use?
And what industry, just curious 😊
I like using C# for unity mobile games
Can I use this with laptop setup?
It requires DisplayPort, but if you have a Thunderbolt/miniDP on it, possibly. Kind of depends on specs if things will run well, so mileage will definitely vary.
