Customers have mixed opinions about the performance of the adapter. Some mention that it works perfectly, while others say that it doesn't work well for them. The PCI card doesn' t work with all motherboards, and it sometimes fails to auto-launch when starting a VR app from a desktop shortcut.

"...With all these updates combined, I can say this adater is amazing and much better than being wired. Don't give up. Wireless is worth it...." Read more

Working near flawlessly on this AMD CPU.
5 Stars
Working near flawlessly on this AMD CPU.
Like most people, I hate the cord when playing certain games. Enter the Vive Wireless Adapter! A near seamless integration for making for the Vive completely wireless.HTC appears to have fixed the AMD CPU issue, as it’s running great with my 3900X, 32GB 3200 CL14 DDR4, X570 Aorus Master, and GTX 1080Ti. Check their website for the recent patch info.Setup is mostly painless. Once you can actually find the right file to download, it worked fine.The hardware, for the most part, is easy to get going too. Changing out the cables on the Vive HMD is a pain as usual, but mounting the adapter is simple. Seems like the cables are a little long for what they're attaching to. I can't imagine any scenario where they would ever be stretched to the limit, but it's fine. Just looks silly.The Intel WiGig card install is just like any PCI-E device. The wireless receiver design has some complaints from me though. The whole mounting design is just awful. The normal clip on mount only works kind of well on one of my monitors. The three others, it just slips off over a short amount of time. On top of that, you still may run into issues because the massive nonadjustable downward facing cable. You might be able to get a different mounting mechanism for it, but that cable really limits possible mounting methods.For the battery, don't bother using the belt clip if you has the Deluxe Audio Strap and maybe the stock Vive strap (it might work). You will sang that power cable mounting it on a belt or pants! Instead, get a little velcro and mount that sucker on the back of the HMD strap. It balances out the HMD really well!Negatives aside, once you're up and running this thing is awesome! It offers so much more flexibility over the included cable. I currently have my VR space about 20ft from the receiver! It's in unobstructed line of sight, but that's still impressive imo. Can't do that with a cabled setup.Maybe you want to use your headset for a very extended period of time or the battery died? Well, you don't have to swap all those cables back, just to use your Vive for a long time. Grab these and you can get constant power while that battery charges.https://smile.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Compatible-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B077HFFLMS/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=anker+quick+charge&qid=1576695432&sr=8-17ANDhttps://smile.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Male-Black-Feet/dp/B00HSS9KJY/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=usb+a+to+usb+a&qid=1576695483&sr=8-5
