Nice to see you guys starting to sell Vive accessories. Been wanting this for a while. Becuase of that I've already bought the bits I've needed including the new DAS, which is awesome by the way, but will keep an eye if you extend the range of accessories you stock. Any likelyhood of you stocking more VR Cover products? They have such a good range, but the cost for delivery and wait time for delivery is annoying. When the Knuckle controllers get released you guys want to be stocking a crap tonne of those :D
 
Oc stock the memory foam, for the vive at least. Any kind of wireless would be welcome, maybe the TP, but that intel one might make me decide to hold fire.

The trackers are the ones that interest me most, and the valve knuckle controls more so. My htc controllers are only going to take so much of a wall bashing before they give up:)
 
After many weeks of waiting for the slow boat from China to arrive our stock of these accessories and more should be landing today. Also anybody waiting for the opportunity to go wireless should check back tomorrow when a special product will be available to pre-order :)
 
Have to say I'm a little underwhelmed with the Deluxe Audio Strap. All it really does is take the weight off the front of the unit, balancing it out more evenly. Also the elastic grab on the back of the head has vanished.

Bit perplexed why so many people were so positive about it. Better maybe, but in truth I could live without it.
 
The DAS for me was a great purchase. Before it I could only use my headset for maybe up to an hour before my head started to hurt. With the DAS I can use it for 3 hours plus with no pain whatsoever. Massive improvement for me. Also the built in headphones are very convenient for me, so much better than using a plugged in headset, with the extra cable to faff with.
 
I'm very happy with the DAS. Definitely a comfort upgrade, and the integrated headphones are far more convenient and comfortable than my wireless headset (no extra cable, but still had to find the thing and keep it charged).

The only fault I can find is that one of the spring-loaded sections on the side developed a horrible grinding sound when extending and retracting, as though the end of the spring was scrapping the inside of the plastic bit (with "Vive" on it). Found the solution was to give it a good few yanks to fully extend it about 10 or 20 times - seemed to get everything re-aligned and smooth again.
 
I still find it more uncomfortable than the strap but the integrated headphones are just far too useful.
Does anyone have any guides about how they fit theirs? Am I doing it wrong?
I've tried keeping the back button loose and the top strap tight, I've tried the back button tight and top strap loose.
I reckon I just have a funny shaped head. Most of the weight seems to lay on my forehead.
