Review: Amazing but if your connection speed is average, you might have problems! - I have to admit, after reading the reviews and researching and making sure this would be something worthy, I finally bought this and got it yesterday. I was worried from the start that this was going to be a waste but I was so hopeful due to the fact that the INTEL wireless adapter was not an option for me because of the laptop set up. I was so disappointed because INTEL is the real deal and backed by the company 100%! I got all the items and started the set up. I was scared as @@&)&!$ after paying out $300 for this thing, all I could remember is saying to myself please work please work lol! Got everything set up, lights blinking everywhere, the manual totally sucked and didn’t tell you jack! I quickly turned to Utube for help. It took me exactly three videos and almost two hours later to get everything connected. The router was connected wrong and the headset was not recognizing the receiver. If you have a TPCAST or you are thinking of getting one, you have to sync the headset receiver to the other receiver that will be placed higher than you. It doesn’t have to be next to a base module as explained in one of the videos. Your other connection from your computer to the router has to be connected in one of the yellow ports, not the blue one if you are running WiFi to your set up. This was part of the frustration for me after understanding this. FINALLY after almost two hours everything was on and ready to go. Make sure you power down everything if you run into a problem during set up, it will NOT recognize anything if you just simply restart your set up. Unplug and shut down everything. Once that’s done and you download the software from the website, it will check to see if everything is connected. I have a Alienware 17r5, the connection to TPCAST is flawless and smooth as butter! I think one of the issues that some people are having is if your internet connection speed is not above average, your going to have issues. My connection is the fastest speed/connection that Comcast has and it worked flawless. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. But, the set up is a mother LOL! Other than that, this is a five star rating for me! Update: 10-26-18 so the TPCAST is still working great. One small issue. When I first start it up it says that the VIVE has an error 208. Simply unplug the unit box, USB cables and HDMI cables only. After re connecting them, reboot the VIVE through steam and presto, your back in business. I was able to enter VR games, quit those games and enter other games with no interruption. Now I know this isn’t how things are suppose to work. The playing and selecting should be flawless. Unfortunately that’s not how it works for me and I’m ok with the extra small steps to get it to work over all. This is still a 5 star rating for me. The only mistake I made was getting the laptop because although it’s a powerful machine that can run VR, a desktop is just going to be better because of the upgrade options. So, I bought a desktop lol. Now the other option for it is the intel wireless which should perform much better and consistently than the TPCAST. But, it still works. If it’s not completely broke, don’t fix it lol!
Review: Hot garbage, bricked before a month in - The Good: - When it's working it doesn't drop frames and has low latency - Five hours worth of charge The Bad: - It's not just a three-piece setup, the simplicity is oversold - You need to add in an additional (included) router - You lose front camera functionality (can't use chaperone mode with camera) The Ugly: - It's a temperamental bugger. Took ages to set up initially and then it worked fine for a while but after that it all went to hell. - Instructions are worse than useless and refers to sections that are not even present in the user guide. Needs better localization. - No troubleshooting steps in user guide and troubleshooting recommendations on site are copy-pasted from user guide. Lack of support. I like what it promises but ultimately it fails to deliver. It's more frustrating than anything else. UPDATE 2018-01-14: So after using this for a while I have some additional tidbits. Part of the connectivity problems stem from how the software interfaces with SteamVR. If you can't get it to connect the first time here's my recommended steps: 1. Close out Steam entirely and relaunch SteamVR. 2. Repeat previous step and also close out and restart the TPCast software. 3. Repeat previous steps and also unplug/replug battery and cables. It turns out there is a troubleshooting guide that wasn't immediately apparent or in the documentation. I found it only by clicking the text in the software saying "HMD not bright?" Link here: tpcastvr.com/vive-errorcode The hardware can suffer frame stuttering as time goes by due to the receiver on your head starting to overheat. It *really* should have been built with active cooling because sometimes it heats up enough I'm worried it's going to set my hair on fire. One 5V fan can't cause that much EMI on the 5GHz band :/ Update 2018-01-22 Well it's dead now and won't even connect anymore. Support is unresponsive so off to the return bin it goes. It powers on but beyond that it's a brick. I'd go through the whole warranty process but at this point it's just worn me down enough I no longer care. I'll try this again after the Vive Pro comes out.

*by D***D on August 28, 2018*

The Good: You get complete freedom no wires works well for games like budget cuts also works with the audio strap The Bad: works for about 2months even at first its a troubleshooter and it only gets worse, It comes with a router and a wireless box that connects to the box on your vive headset wirelessly all 3 parts are buggy and as for VRchat users Don't bother this takes more processing power than you think and will lag you HMD out this also happens on other games too and lastly your wireless box that connects to your headset box often bugs out (out of range) even when your stood next to it Verdict: a Good start well-done product, however a prototype at best, Troubleshoot is required everytime you turn it on
