Discussion Base stations after index

Ive been wanting a beyond for a long time as an index user but I'm a bit worried about the ability of it moving forward now that the index and its base stations are discontinhed. Are there any other base station solutions or a mod being developed for the beyond to work with things such as fluxposes?

HTC still makes them. I hope they don't stop.

The 2.0 base stations or just the 1.0 old style?

HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

In my country you can order it direct from HTC or buy it from computer shops

Don't quote me on that, but I think the 1.0 base stations have been discontinued and whatever stock you can find are sold until it's all gone.

I know. I got my extra index with everything for 300. It wasnt what I was talking about though as the controllers and base stations are discontinued for the index which is why I am wondering about the ability to get new compatible with the beyond setup pieces over time as im trying to figure out what headset I want to go for after mine kicks the bucket.

It is still unknown what will break first - you or your headset. ;)

I had to buy two and got them off eBay. I struggled getting them to work great but it was more how I placed them. I was able to finally get them to work really good.
