Question 1

please tell me what is in this 149.99 item,only trackir 5? or with clip pro in it?thank you .

Accepted Answer

The 149.99 is for the tracker 5 only. The clip pro is not included. I have the clip pro but do not use it.

Question 2

Does it work with Windows 7 and Windows 8?

Accepted Answer

Definitely works with Windows 7. Most likely works with Windows 8 as well.

Question 3

What is this thing? Is it a new type of monitor, is it something you wear or is it something like the Kinect for the PC? I don't really understand it.

Accepted Answer

It's an IR camera that tracks head movement by bouncing IR off of a clip you attach to a hat.  It's used in gaming to translate your head movement into corresponding movement in game.  For example, in a flight simulator (where I use it), it is used to control your view in 3d cockpits, giving 6 degrees of freedom in the cockpit as if you were really there.  It is fantastic and I highly recommend it.

Question 4

I wear a really thin pair of headphones when I game, is it a wise idea to get the clip pro over this or will this be fine and comfortable?

Accepted Answer

I considered buying the track clip pro as well but decided against it after reading some reviews stating how fragile it is. The benefits didn't seem to justify the additional $. Unless your monitor is facing direct sunlight and you hate wearing a cap indoors, then the track clip pro will be the way to go. Else the standard reflectors works just fine and it seems very responsive to me. No discernible lag whatsoever.
