There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The newer ones are smaller and lighter with an easier button, but these hardly weigh anything and the button is easy for me.
I bought two and used a spare android device (or old phone) with an accelerometer coupled with owotrack for the waist tracking, works perfectly and can save you buying a third one.
*Edit for Oculus users: If you do happen to use these trackers with an Oculus Rift, do keep in mind that there is some interference that can vary whenever the Oculus Touch controllers are held close to the trackers. I hardly get any interference and near perfect tracking, but I know others who get bad interference for some reason even with the 2018 trackers which cause less interference, but it could also depend on lighthouse sensor positioning. Also, if you do happen to touch one of the trackers with an Oculus Touch controller while using them, there is a chance your tracker could ping off in a random direction in virtual space for a few seconds and then shortly after go back to normal, but for me it rarely ever happens. Just a heads up!
*Edit 11/23/2019 for Valve Index users: I upgraded to the Valve Index about two months ago so I thought I might as well go ahead and share my experience using them with that HMD. With the Valve Index, just like with the HTC Vive, it required no setup other than plugging in the dongles and connecting them as a new controller in SteamVR to get them working, it was basically plug and play. These do definitely work a lot better when using them with an HMD that also uses the base stations/lighthouses for tracking since there's no hassle or worry to it. But, I still really enjoyed my mostly flawless experience using them with my Oculus Rift CV1 even if it did take quite a bit of setup to get them working and I would still heavily recommend them for use with it. With a bit of research, I also learned that the trackers can be used similarly with any other VR headset just like the Oculus Rift CV1, so even if you don't own that HMD and own something like a Windows Mixed Reality or Rift S/Quest, you can use the same method for those!

Durability: I have smashed these all over my house and i think you really have to try to break them. 8/10
Fun: seeing your legs move while in vr adds to the realism of being there and will blow you away. 10/10
Ease of Use: Easy to use and look up guide for but it is as simple as clicking one button. 8/10
Overall: 9/10 I would say get it if you want to see your legs in some Vrgames!
Either way if you want to do more interactive stuff and “perform” for others in game, and even get a pretty good workout by dancing, fighting, or repeativly doing weird gags where you fall over dramatically and get back up. These sensors are amazing, and the comedy and laughter you get from people after doing funny stuff with your full body tracking is so worth it. Only buys these in 3’s and I highly recommend. Honestly it’s just the price, and everything else is perfect.
Work perfectly, no problems and weird errors or glitching unless they somehow lose sight of the base stations.
They hold a charge for about 3.5 to 4 hours of constant use and they charge in about an hour.
Have not had any problems with battery life or tracking loss within reason.
So, yeah I highly recommend these if you wanna be more animated in VR.
Now if your an animator, this is a MUST cop. Ikinema Orion or VRIK will give you very high quality mocap data. Especially VRIK if you tweak the settings a bit. If you have 10 trackers, VRIK and a lot of space in your basement or garage, the quality/accuracy is comparable to Xsens, maybe 80% there. Ikinema Orion is amazing but pricey, $500/yr is not worth it compared to VRIK, I already had VRIK so I just spent $500 on more trackers rather than the Ikinema software. The more trackers, the better.
