The Vive Wireless Adapter is coming on September 24, guess how much it is…

We’re not going to keep you waiting… HTC’s new Vive Wireless Adapter is going to cost $300, but only if you’re pairing it with the original Vive headset. If you want to cut the cable on your Vive Pro then you’re going to need to fork out another $60 for a special connectivity kit which includes a different cable, a different mounting device, and some extra padding. But it is something we’ve desperately wanted from our VR devices since we first strapped one to our heads, tripped over the cables, and almost strangled ourselves in the ensuing tentacled chaos. And the new Vive Wireless Adapter works brilliantly - it’s the same DisplayLink adapter we used when we saw Intel at CES in January and uses the same 60Hz WiGig spec and DisplayLink codec we first tried out in prototype form at the E3 show last year. Going cable-free is a liberating experience in VR and makes room-scale gaming far more immersive. You’re not being pulled back into the real world every few minutes with the very real fear that you’re getting ever more tangled up and about to pull your PC off the table and onto the floor.
