Valve is sunsetting Index production and doing a sale on remaining inventory, so it's finally time to get one and move on from my 2018 2nd hand HTC Vive! I'll probably end up using this VR headset forever now, as the industry has moved away from what I want in them.

I don't care for much more functionality than the HTC Vive had, and the Index is gonna blow me away when I use it. Not interested in the Frame since it's inside out tracking which is terrible for my use case, and staying one gen behind has served me well all these years anyway.

The quality difference from going from the OG Vive to the Index is gonna be massive. Sadly, my Base Station 1.0s are kicking the bucket, and even though they put them on sale, there still isn't any stock. I was incredibly ready to buy 2, maybe even 3 of them to replace my current setup, but alas.

Oh damn what happened to them? Mine are still going strong. I make sure they turn off when I'm not using them and stuff

One of them seems to constantly lose tracking, and no matter what I've tried so far, it's been doing the same thing I've read that people have this issue due to USB controllers, but even isolated to a controller, I had zero luck It's a shame, as I loved playing VR games, but I currently cannot :(

I am actually blessed: they got some Base Station 2.0s in stock. Immediately ordered three to cover my room in them. I'm really hyped to play VR again.
