TPCAST Oculus Rift Wireless Adapter

I forgot to type a review a long time ago, the reasons why the rating is low is simplePros:Wireless vr, who wouldn't want that?...That's itCons:I can't list all the cons as I haven't used it recently, so I can't make it accurate, I don't think they even make update notesbut the last time I used it, they have a decreased FOVNot suited for games like Beat SaberYou'd usually get the oculus poor tracking quality error messageand if I recall correctly, I think I got an EU plug in my box despite being in the UK, How'd that get in there?So I had an even tougher time setting it up.Update:I asked a question to TPcast support if they had done any updates to the TP cast, and if so, is there a list? They ignored me, Their customer support is dead.

If you're looking for freedom from wires, and a truer sense of immersion, then this is the product for you. I got mine just below 1/3 price on a warehouse deal, and for that money it's worth it. It's a bit janky and requires fiddling to get it to work.Pros:- no wire!- head mount is light- battery lasts a long time and you get 2Cons:- so many parts - you thought 6dof VR was complicated you just wait- battery is heavy. Still looking for smaller options that output the required 4.8A. I don't game for 5h at a time and don't need 20,000mAh! 10 or less should suffice- receiver pack makes high pitch noise - so best to use the rift headphones to block it out- fov is cut on the sides with the standard tpcast firmware, the $25 opentpcast fixes this and the microphone issue. Sad you have to go out and buy then try to fix the product you already bought, but it's a beta product from china so what do you expectConclusion: good product for early adopters and those who want to live on the cutting edge. Not good for regular consumers, and not 'ready' out of box

I think the idea of wireless is great and especially if you have a large play area where cables would become a problem. My TPcast for Rift kept having intermittent connection problems (approx. every 15 seconds) which although only lasted about 1-2 seconds it spoiled the experience for me. My setup is an I7 CPU and RTX 2070 GPU which is well within the recommended specs. Would definitely consider buying again when a more stable option is available.

Looking at this it seems extremely beta right now. Especially judging from the reviews.I'm writing this review simply to suggest a much, much cheaper alternative, one that I currently use and would highly suggest.Ceiling pulleys. You can pick up a kit right here on Amazon for around 22 quid, simply attach the included hooks to your ceiling, attach the rift cables, and boom. You can barely even notice the cable anymore. If you're using roomscale then for another 30-40 quid odd you can make yourself a breakout cable that lengthens the cables by 5m, more than enough. I'm currently using my Rift in my office so the included 4m cable is plenty long enough for me to rout the cable from the back of my PC, up to the ceiling pulleys and across to my play space.So, whether you're happy with the stock cable length, or are using roomscale, then the £22/~£60 it would cost to simply use the method I suggest above is in my humble opinion far more affordable and practical than purchasing this device, which at the time of writing my review costs almost as much as the Rift itself.Just a VR user posting his opinion. If you own this device, or just really hate wires and are thinking of buying one, then that's your prerogative. I'm sure anyone with half a brain cell can solve many of the issues currently being highlighted by the owners of this product in the other reviews. =)

I purchased this off another site, but non the less I can not recommend this.Problems....• Microphone does not work for (unless you reflash the 'image' file on the internal SD card, and also purchase 3rd party software for 20 pounds)• Very high pitch sound from the HDMI 50ghz transmitter. And I'm almost 30...• The video receiver that goes in the top strap of the oculus gets very hot, and also makes it almost impossible to adjust on the fly as it blocks the strap.• The belt strap ( for the cheap repurposed raspberry pi / Arduino board in cheap plastic bodged to an Anker 30100 powerbank) is just the Anker battery pouch poorly stitched to a cheap 'belt', and flaps around because of this, also catching the cable under the battery because of this.• The video feed in the oculus is cropped down horizontally by a good 10 to 15% compaired to wired connection.• The horizontal video edges have green /bluey bars on them.• Video latency is small but it noticeable and also distracting, even slightly disorientating (and I'm very resistant to the most extreme games).• The video quality is reduced, not instantly noticed but once you go back to cable you see it straight away.In conclusion... Just spend a good 50pound+ on HDMI/USB extensions (get a HDMI booster / repeator for long hdmi cables and 'active' USB cable to power the oculus over long distances), some cable trucking and retractable ceiling mounts for the cable.
