HTC Vive 3-in-1 Replacement Cable

Pros: Works

Cons: Looped like heck

Overall Review: It gets the beep boops to your headset, but it's also looped in a spiral so much it wants to keep its loops. Which means it really wants to turn into foot traps for people who can't see the world around them. Which is what you are when you have a VR headset on. Just take measures to straiten it out and you'll be fine.

Overall Review: Yup it's a cable alright, and it didn't arrive broken either.

Pros: - When (it's going to happen) your 3-in-1 cable poops out you don't have to go through HTC's complicated process to replace it. - Have a backup cable to switch too while the cable you got with your Vive is being replaced (takes months). - From what I've read Newegg support and replacement is much faster (fingers crossed).

Cons: - Still the same flimsy 3-in-1 cable that comes with the HTC Vive.

Overall Review: I rated 5 eggs for Newegg's support and low cost for 3 year insurance on cable, and think every Vive owner should get a back-up here. The cable itself is to fragile to perform the task it is meant for so I'd give it 2 stars. VR immersion is active, and this cable (especially the HDMI connection to the HMD) can't handle that much movement. I've taken extra precautions to keep the connections protected and immobile, but after a little over a month I'm already seeing all the same signs I saw before the last HDMI cable went bad (temporary screen black-out and occasional crackling). Expecting the dreaded 208 any day now, then it's time to test my newegg insurance. PS: If you get HTC Vive 208 error, and you've had no success with trouble shooting, run your 3-in-1 HDMI cable from your graphics card to your monitor. If it doesn't work you need a new cable. I wasted HUNDREDS of hours trying every HTC Vive 208 error fix on the internet before I found a post that suggested testing the cable. PSS: One more "HTC Vive 208 error" to hopefully get this information to people who need it.

Pros: its lighter, feels like a better quality then the orignal. Less weight, less tangling, less mangled. im pretty happy with this cable.

Cons: Only one beef with it, it kinda swivels a little more easily in the cable harness, but some would comsider that a pro.

Pros: The new cable is significantly thinner than the old one, which I could feel on my shoulder most of the time. This one I don't, especially during seated games, the old cable was very noticeable here.

Cons: It does twist and kink way more. Nothing too bad but you will notice it if you try and lay it out straight. Make sure to somehwat untwist before playing and you're good to go.

Overall Review: If you need a replacement or play a lot of seated games, you should definitely get this. If you aren't that bothered by the old one and mostly play roomscale, you won't be blown away but it's still a nice change.
