HTC Vive Ultimate Tracker 3 Pack + Dongle - VR Full Body Tracking - Compatible with SteamVR, Vive XR Elite, Meta Quest Virtual Reality Headsets

(EDIT: 5/5 Stars. Testing on both my Quest 2 and Quest 3 VIA Link Cable and SteamVR, the trackers work GREAT After the newest updates. I now only have to recalibrate once in a blue moon. The mapping stays consistent every time I turn on the trackers in my play area. It's very helpful to know that when setting up the trackers, you don't have to be in front of your PC. What I did was stand in front of my couch and set it as my home area, so whenever I turned on my trackers I would have to face the couch and let the trackers do it's thing. Whenever I do experience drifting and am unable to fix it with the calibration tab, I just turn off the trackers on vive hub, make sure I stand in front of my couch, turn them back on, then recalibrate them. It sounds like a long process, but should only take you three minutes max! ) A quick disclaimer, I did buy these trackers used, and it does not come with straps, but after having the trackers for a few weeks at this point, I'd say it's fairly good. I was concerned reading the reviews since it talks about lighting issues and how it affects the tracking since my bedroom lights aren't that bright, but after setting them up, the tracking worked well! Following the guide for third party headsets (I used a quest 2) it is recommended that you don't clear out your room completely. The trackers need a point of reference so it can track your movements more accurately, so some furniture is better then completely clearing out your room. The ease of setup is a bit lacking, you'll have to join the VIVE to access the beta, setup the app for the trackers, connect the trackers to the dongle, install a few updates, and then finally pop on your headset and setup the tracking. Personally, I don't know if it's because I bought mine used, sometimes the trackers would either disconnect or drift off into another plane of existence whenever I would recalibrate. Thankfully, it only happens once every blue moon. Overall, I give it a 4/5. I love it, but it could be easier to handle in the future. Would recommend for FBT VR games 👌

Gonna drop as thorough of a review of these as I can, please read this before you buy them! I bought mine to play games like VRChat and have full body tracking, and here's my overall thoughts on them. Tracking: 3.5/5. Pretty standard nothing bad but nothing exceptional. It's good tracking, though it slides around a bit too much sometimes and has occasional lag and stuttering. There's worse out there, but there's certainly better as well. Check other products if the quality of tracking is your main worry. Connection/Syncing: 0/5. The connection between the trackers, their dongle and the VR headset itself (also known as syncing) is...Disappointing, to put it very lightly. It's the most glaring problem the product has, a process that should take 3-5 minutes tops took me 2.5 hours the day I got them, 45 minutes the day after, and then over an hour on the day of this review. I run a Meta Quest 3 and connect it to my high-performance PC via a USB 3.0 cable. Both my PC and my Quest 3 are in tip-top condition and have zero issues, leading me to believe it's just the trackers themselves having this syncing issue. It stutters, it cuts out, it drags, it's inaccurate, and it's promise of "tracking without base stations" is misleading. If you have a lot of base stations, I imagine this problem is negligible or non-existent. Battery: 4/5. Lasts longer than my headset (even when it's charging while I play via my PC!) giving me 5+ hours of life. They charge somewhat slowly, but the battery is quite nice. Software: 1/5. The bottom line is that the HTC Vive software will usually tell you what's wrong, but not why or how it's wrong. The download is a PITA, and setting the trackers up and getting them to sync just to each other is no better. It's minimal, in all the wrong ways. Directions/product installation: 1/5. It doesn't come with physical directions, instead you scan a QR code (how futuristic!) and it takes you to a page that's broken and only tells you a quarter of what you ought to know. As for setting up the tracking, refer to the previous sections of the review. It's difficult, makes you swear enough to make a sailor blush, and in my experience is unrewarding. Accessories/Miscellaneous: Doesn't come with any accessories, which for $600 you think it would. I bought the straps as well as a USB 3.0 hub separately. It also does not come with any of the cords needed to plug it where you need to. It requires you to plug each individual tracker into your PC to do an update before you use the product, and doesn't come with USB-C cables. I was lucky to have a pack of adapters I had bought for a different item. You'll likely be spending another $50 or more the straps, adapters and the hub. Overall: 1/5 due to the disappointing connection, irritating setup, inconsistency, lack of accessories and instructions, constant interrupts and the misleading description of the product. In order to make these work, you REQUIRE compatible base stations. This product costs way more than $600, and if you think you'll only spend $600, read this review again. Either save yourself the disappointment and buy a different product, or if you really don't care about the extra cost, pick up a few HTC Vive base stations as well. I'm sure the trackers work well with those base stations, but standalone they are just utter trash.

I’ve been using the HTC Vive Ultimate Tracker 3 Pack with the included dongle for a few weeks now, mainly with my Quest 3 for VRChat, and the experience has been fantastic. Setup was pretty smooth, and the dongle keeps a stable connection with no tracking drops or lag. Full-body tracking in VRChat feels incredibly natural and responsive. Movements sync up well, even during fast-paced sessions, making the whole experience way more immersive. I love that these trackers work so well with Quest 3 through SteamVR—it really opens up new possibilities for social VR. The trackers are lightweight and comfortable to wear on the waist and legs, and the battery life has held up well through multiple sessions. They’re also built solidly, so I feel confident using them regularly. If you want reliable, high-quality full-body tracking on Quest 3 or similar headsets, this 3-pack bundle is definitely worth it. It’s made my VRChat sessions so much more fun and engaging.

But expensive. But if you have a stand alone headset, such as a quest, it works great. Using outside in trackers with quest 1-3 will sometimes get the ir lights in the controllers mixed up with trackers, such as vive 2.0 1 single dongle for up too 5 trackers is great. The clip on/off is great when needing too have the tracker first start tracking before a session. Battery is great. Having a small, Anker power bank that has a built in usb-c that just sticks too your phone port are game changers. 3 and I can go 14+ hours, and that's without swapping those USB batteries, or recharging them. Setup is a 1 time thing. (unless you move a cabinet, or repaint walls, or have an untidy room) And the one map saves too other trackers. Vive hub updates have had too be downgraded once or twice too an older version till they fixed bugs. All and all, I love mine, and will probably buy a 4th for chest tracking in the future.

They work really well once they're set up, took me about 15 minutes but have been crazy stable for the past 2 days of use with Quest Pro for full body tracking. Software has areas for improvements but the beta has beaten my expectations. If you're reading this and planning on purchasing, the quality of the map scanning was really important in my case, when I went a bit slower and took some more time, it stopped having some of the tracking loss issues I was encountering the first time (and I've seen others encounter). Hope HTC are able to take that feedback and refine their setup behaviour to accommodate for that.

They are nice but it kept saying it was to dark in my room even though I had my light as bright as I could make it another real problem was trying to use them for games like vrchat the hip tracker was the only one I was able to get working correctly but the leg trackers were absolutely a pain trying to set up and they kept losing tracking every time I tried putting them on I've been trying for weeks ever since i got them but no avail so i just gave up now they are just sitting in the box beside that I can still happily say I'm glad they don't need base stations tho

I really wanted to like these a lot, but the tech just isn't there to make it work. Like many others, I too was looking for a great tracking solution that didn't require base stations. Most other forms of tracking you can get are sketchy and might drift, but this official solution seemed like it might have some promise. Unfortunately, the sheer unreliability makes it not worth your time. They take forever to get into a tracking state from the moment you turn them on, if they do at all. From there, they require calibration, which is also just as finicky, and might not even appear in your playspace correctly. If you're lucky, they'll maybe be a few inches off their real life position. If not, they'll be sunken deep into the floor. When you can finally get them to work and stay connected, they do the job, but if they start losing tracking be prepared to desperately try to restore them to functionality. You're supposed to hold them at chest height according to the program to restore tracking but it never works, or it will just lose it right back when you attach it back on. The trackers require an insanely bright play area to work as well. Maybe it's just my environment but the fiddling is absolutely a deal breaker, impossible to play anything like this. For $599 dollars (plus the cost of straps) they perform more like $100 trackers from a sketchy seller overseas.

I’ve never been more disappointed in a tech company than I am with HTC. I was fully invested from the original Vive and have since purchased multiple HTC products. Unfortunately, each one has come with its own set of frustrating issues that make them difficult—if not impossible—to use reliably. These trackers are impressive when they work, but that’s the problem: they rarely work without extensive effort. Every time I want to play, I end up having to reconfigure the entire setup, which is anything but simple. They're consistently unreliable, and instead of spending my limited free time enjoying VR, I’m stuck troubleshooting. Just tonight, I spent over an hour trying to get the tracking to work correctly before finally giving up so I could get to bed. That experience pushed me to finally write this review. The wireless setup for my Cosmos Elite was just as problematic. And now, with the new Focus still lacking pancake lenses and Wi-Fi 7, it’s clear HTC isn’t keeping pace with industry standards. By contrast, the Quest 3 works flawlessly every time I use it. I even found a mobile app that provides full-body tracking through the phone’s camera—and it works better than HTC’s dedicated hardware. After spending thousands of dollars and years giving HTC the benefit of the doubt, I’ve been consistently let down. I held on longer than most, but I’ve finally had enough. HTC has lost a loyal customer, and Meta has gained one.
