Full-Body Tracking for VRChat on Quest 3, Worth Every Penny!
I’ve been using the HTC Vive Ultimate Tracker 3 Pack with the included dongle for a few weeks now, mainly with my Quest 3 for VRChat, and the experience has been fantastic. Setup was pretty smooth, and the dongle keeps a stable connection with no tracking drops or lag.Full-body tracking in VRChat feels incredibly natural and responsive. Movements sync up well, even during fast-paced sessions, making the whole experience way more immersive. I love that these trackers work so well with Quest 3 through SteamVR—it really opens up new possibilities for social VR.The trackers are lightweight and comfortable to wear on the waist and legs, and the battery life has held up well through multiple sessions. They’re also built solidly, so I feel confident using them regularly.If you want reliable, high-quality full-body tracking on Quest 3 or similar headsets, this 3-pack bundle is definitely worth it. It’s made my VRChat sessions so much more fun and engaging.

Pure Disappointment
Gonna drop as thorough of a review of these as I can, please read this before you buy them! I bought mine to play games like VRChat and have full body tracking, and here's my overall thoughts on them.Tracking: 3.5/5. Pretty standard nothing bad but nothing exceptional. It's good tracking, though it slides around a bit too much sometimes and has occasional lag and stuttering. There's worse out there, but there's certainly better as well. Check other products if the quality of tracking is your main worry.Connection/Syncing: 0/5. The connection between the trackers, their dongle and the VR headset itself (also known as syncing) is...Disappointing, to put it very lightly. It's the most glaring problem the product has, a process that should take 3-5 minutes tops took me 2.5 hours the day I got them, 45 minutes the day after, and then over an hour on the day of this review. I run a Meta Quest 3 and connect it to my high-performance PC via a USB 3.0 cable. Both my PC and my Quest 3 are in tip-top condition and have zero issues, leading me to believe it's just the trackers themselves having this syncing issue. It stutters, it cuts out, it drags, it's inaccurate, and it's promise of "tracking without base stations" is misleading. If you have a lot of base stations, I imagine this problem is negligible or non-existent.Battery: 4/5. Lasts longer than my headset (even when it's charging while I play via my PC!) giving me 5+ hours of life. They charge somewhat slowly, but the battery is quite nice.Software: 1/5. The bottom line is that the HTC Vive software will usually tell you what's wrong, but not why or how it's wrong. The download is a PITA, and setting the trackers up and getting them to sync just to each other is no better. It's minimal, in all the wrong ways.Directions/product installation: 1/5. It doesn't come with physical directions, instead you scan a QR code (how futuristic!) and it takes you to a page that's broken and only tells you a quarter of what you ought to know. As for setting up the tracking, refer to the previous sections of the review. It's difficult, makes you swear enough to make a sailor blush, and in my experience is unrewarding.Accessories/Miscellaneous: Doesn't come with any accessories, which for $600 you think it would. I bought the straps as well as a USB 3.0 hub separately. It also does not come with any of the cords needed to plug it where you need to. It requires you to plug each individual tracker into your PC to do an update before you use the product, and doesn't come with USB-C cables. I was lucky to have a pack of adapters I had bought for a different item. You'll likely be spending another $50 or more the straps, adapters and the hub.Overall: 1/5 due to the disappointing connection, irritating setup, inconsistency, lack of accessories and instructions, constant interrupts and the misleading description of the product. In order to make these work, you REQUIRE compatible base stations. This product costs way more than $600, and if you think you'll only spend $600, read this review again. Either save yourself the disappointment and buy a different product, or if you really don't care about the extra cost, pick up a few HTC Vive base stations as well. I'm sure the trackers work well with those base stations, but standalone they are just utter trash.

Exactly Like You'd Expect
My fiancé loves using these while playing drunk VR chat with our friends. Makes the night even more enjoyable!They can drift at times and need recalibrate but they continue to update and improve the UI making things that much easier.

Make sure your space is well lit and set up correctly.
These trackers work amazing. The tracking is quite smooth. Keep in mind I use them with the Vive focus vision. So the set-up may differ. Make sure your space is well lit.My only complaint is that they loose tracking when you hot swap the battery for my headset.

High hopes but disappointed
I own these for about 2 1/2 weeks and I really gave it a fair shot, i tried buying a lamp for more light and everything else it required to work properly but never could consistently get it to stay connected properly. It also doesn’t like when you lay down or if you wear a semi baggy clothes so I ended up returning and just getting the 3.0 with a few base stations and paid a little bit extra so I can actually enjoy my time. I wouldn’t recommend unfortunately.
