On August 28th, Shiftall Co., Ltd. released the “X1 Dongle,” a USB-connected device. The price is 3,990 yen (tax included).
The X1 dongle is a product that wirelessly connects SteamVR tracking-compatible controllers and trackers to a PC. It can only connect to one device at a time. The company already sells the X2 dongle, which can connect up to two devices, but the X1 dongle reduces controller dropouts caused by radio interference. As a result, it is said to have achieved more stable communication than the previous product.
Supported devices include the company’s own GripVR and FlipVR controllers, as well as SteamVR tracking-compatible devices from other manufacturers. Products that have been confirmed to work include Valve Index controllers, HTC VIVE trackers, HTC VIVE controllers, and Tundra Tracker.
To use this device, you will need Base Station 1.0 or 2.0 and a PC capable of running SteamVR. It is not compatible with the HaritoraX series. The package contains three items: the X1 dongle itself, a USB Type-A extension cable, and a warranty card. This is a dongle-only sale; controllers and trackers are not included.
Furthermore, the company explained that it will continue to develop and manufacture devices for users who utilize SteamVR tracking base stations.
