A friend of mine in the JoinUsInVR steam group (https://steamcommunity.com/groups/JoinUsInVR) tried a generic one, then got this REAL HTC one, and said there was a HUGE difference between the two. So don't bother trying to save $30 and getting a generic one.
Big FYI - you need to install a physical PCI card onto your motherboard to use this. Not difficult, but make sure your mobo has a slot available.

These are normally 300 for a reason, this price is pretty darn good. I would second this because if there are any issues with the wireless you will get motion sick really quick.

Exactly! Hey, if you didn't already, can you take a look at the anti-motion sickness tips in our group's list right here and vote up/down the points listed?
...it was built by votes and tests from the vets and noobs of VR in tthe eh group.

Yup, no problems here. Image quality is not affected. Wireless VR is a big step. Need lighter headsets next.

I have it with vive pro, works great, but you'll need a powerful CPU for the pro.

Define "powerful" CPU. Are we talking about Ryzen 3900X+? I'm looking to build decent VR setup for my next build.

You'll need an adapter kit for the pro, a free spot on the motherboard, the wires at the pc are HTC only so transmitter needs to be close to the PC, I've had a decrease in picture quality at times and lag in some games, Beat Saber lags enough to ruin the experience, I haven't had it long and may change some settings, I have a decent PC with 1060gpu, you can't quickly change back to wired and would cause some ware. You'll probably want an additional battery, some recommend an anker. Over all I like it quite a bit but wish you could hot swap back to wired.
