So does anyone remember this post I made, where I said I bought some 2.0 Vive tracker dongles from iFixit? Well they arrived today.. and I’m not liking what I’m looking at. Feel like I was scammed.
These, are 2.0 Vive tracker dongles. Notice the blue tips. This is important.
The bag here, shows this is a 2.0 Vive tracker dongle. So…
Why, iFixit, is this not blue? Even.. even on your page here..
See? Blue tip. …WHY ARE THESE BLACK THEN?!?! Because they’re not 2.0 compatible. They’re 3.0 compatible!! I can’t use these! ..They LIED to me.
But I might not be scammed out of $118. Seems that Vive is a lot more forgiving then I give them credit for. I’m reading that ‘yes’, you can use 2.0 and 3.0 Vive tracker dongles and it’ll work. So, huh.
Even if I was to say “I wanna get some knee or elbow trackers”… will they even work together? Seems the answer is “yes” for this as well.
It’s still a bit scummy they have ‘Tracker Dongle 2.0‘ written on the bag, when it’s
a 3.0 dongle. Why even do that? Why didn’t they just contact m…mmm– because I never created an account for them to do so, and that’s not their fault.
I’m going to try to get some answers about this. Said they “lied to me”. Doesn’t matter if it’ll still work. Doesn’t matter if both dongle versions are the same price.. they still used misleading packaging. I paid for two 2.0 dongles.. not 3.0. I was not looking for 3.0. I was looking for 2.0.
