[Have wireless kit installed... But ?]

Alan, that item is simply a replacement for the Link Box that came with your Cosmos and is a little more compact.  However, there is not much advantage to this for most imho.

To go from Wireless back to tethered (I have done this a couple of times btw) you first go to your Vive Cosmos menu, wireless, and disable this.  Then you need to hook up your Link Box again.  Actually you can leave it hooked up when wireless as long as you do not power it on = green light.  Then disconnect the short wireless headset cable and replace it with the long wired one and reconnect it to your Link Box.  Restart everything, power on your Link Box, startup your Vive Cosmos console and you should be good to go.  If you want to go back to Wireless; exit your Vive Cosmos console, power off your Link Box, change headset cables, startup the Vive console, menu, wireless, and re-enable it (you may need to re-pair your wireless connection).

Just my opinion but if you go wireless and you are happy with it you should just keep it wireless and avoid switching back and forth.  Constantly plugging/unplugging/plugging your headset cable may eventually damage the headset's connector imho.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the advice.

I thought it was a newer replacement, but wasn't sure so that answers my question.
What i'm more interested in, is the possibility of just unplugging the wireless cable from the receiver and straight into that one, like I said, I have no intention of keep stripping the headset to switch cables. At the worst, i'd damage the short one long term possibly, which is replaceable. I'd just have to make a holder type bracket, to clip onto the headset, since the cable is too short to do anything else safely.

Despite having 2 battery kits, I'm not getting enough game time ( wife allowing ) on the both of them.
Like the fan idea @sphinckoma. ( Also the SS2 icon ) SS3 coming soon....:) I went to london to queue for that when it came out at hmv i think.
 

I didn't do my due dilligance on the wifi...
I'm concidering modifying an old motorcycle or caving helmet to mount it all on.

thanks all
AL

Hi Guys,
Have the wireless kit installed on the Cosmos now, but recently noticed this item on the website;

https://www.vive.com/uk/accessory/cosmos-converter/

Could this be connected to the headset cable, if removed from the wireless receiver, for say, seated gaming etc ?, withouth having to strip and refit the headset from wireless to wired ?
If so, can you guys look at making a clip/case for it, even just to clip it on your collar or something.

Thanks in advance,
Alan
