Superman III Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Hi, I want to buy the Wireless Adapter today for my OG Vive, but I have a question. I'm thinking if I use the Wireless Adapter I will not use the linkbox no more right? But does that mean that when gaming in VR I will not have the mirror -screen on my regular monitor no more? I'm worried about that, because when playing together with someone it makes it fun to be able to follow what the player is doing on the PC monitor... Can someone please comfort me about this?

laprid0 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 it's fine...the window still shows what is going on inside the headset. the only thing you lose by losing the linkbox is the ability to turn the lighthouses on/off via bluetooth and even then if you just leave linkbox plugged into power and usb on your computer that will still work. wireless is pretty awesome...enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw thank you so much for this quick reply man! (or woman lol) "wireless is pretty awesome...enjoy!" My only real worry is if the adapter gets too hot on my head like people say since I use OG Vive with audio deluxe strap (I play for many hours), apart from that I bet it is!! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman III Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Oh yes. I'm ordering 2 Anker 20000 QC 3.0 as well! Playing just 3 hours is not for me! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laprid0 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 or the imuto 20k QC3 works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I understand the Anker one fits perfectly in the HTV-batteryholder and should work well. Expecting my package anytime now, tomorrow istall and try everything! Hoping everything goes well for me too bud, I would really love wireless and I hate the hassle of returning stuff like this. But I'm also the type that wont jump through too many hoops if the device turns out to be uncomfortable. Cross fingers! 🙄🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman III Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Hey sorry laprid0, but I cant help but ask, no need to respond if you dont feel like 🙂 So you have OG Vive with Deluxe Audio strap as well but you dont have overheating problems on your head? Do you have the thicker 3rd party VR-cover? Did you do anything at all against the heat? Edited October 28, 2019 by Superman III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman III Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Nevermind, all is done I have absolutely no heat problems. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 @Superman III - Adding in that you can always see the full image that's being rendered to the HMD regardless of what the application window is rendering by opening SteamVR -> DisplayVR view. The VR View mirror shows all layers of the VR render including the chaperone boundaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
