Zuhan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 So, I've been patiently waiting for these to finally release and they has not been a song peep yet on when thats going to happen. I'm eager to upgrade from my older stuff so I can sell off my old system. I can't get rid of it if they do not have base stations or controllers so it sitting in my closet collecting dust. Come on HTC, when the hell are the new base stations and controllers going to be released? It's been almost a year since the Pro has been released, AND your selling the 2.0 stuff in a complete package. Why won't you sell the 2.0 stuff separate so people can buy them? What's taking so **bleep** long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazdingo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I was just at CES. A couple of the folks I talked to there at the HTC location at the Wynn said they thought they were available for sale now. I cannot find them for sale anywhere. I think they were just saying that at the show to avoid any backlash in front of other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuhan Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Lol lying will bring more backlash. I hope they go up for sale soon. I've been waiting a good while for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 , A couple of notes: 2.0 compatible controllers have been listed for sale for some time now - here's a link to their listing in the US webstore. 2.0 basestations are manufactured by Valve and not HTC. We have simply not been authorized by Valve to sell the basestations individually and they're currently only authorized to be sold within the enterprise bundle (aka Vive Pro Full Kit). Valve is the technology owner for SteamVR including 2.0 basestations and thus many aspects of that ecosystem fall under their management, not ours. We should hear more about Valve's plan for SteamVR 2.0 soon.I know this is a frustrating answer but 2.0 basestations are not an HTC product - they're a Valve product. You're always welcome to provide Valve direct feedback on the lack of availability on their forums and channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuhan Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Are those 2.0 controller compatible with the base station 1.0? I sent support an email about that a week ago and haven't heard anything from them. Would like to upgrade something while I wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 , Yes, devices with the updated TS4231 ASICs (Vive Pro, Vive Pro controller, Tracker 18) all work with both 1.0 and 2.0 stations. The comapbility matrix is below. The 2.0 controllers use the TS4231 ASIC's. You basically can't use the new stations on old gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuhan Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thank you for the answer. I was getting mixed answers on Reddit. I just placed my order for the new controllers. Hoping to hear something from Valve on the new Base Stations in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
