Onesolesurvivor Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Just putting this out there to see if anyone else had an issue getting the cosmos controller to pair with the HMD. The right side paired fast but the left refuses to do anything but blink for a few moments and timeout. Any ideas? Thanks @stvnxu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stvnxu Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi @Onesolesurvivor, Apologies on the late response here and the issue you experienced. This slipped past me and understand I'm over a month late in response, but wanted to still respond to ensure you're taken care of. Are you still experiencing the left controller not connecting? I believe the new software updates pushed out should've fixed this issue (generally it was during the OOBE experience). You can right click the left controller icon in the VIVE Console and click "pair controller." Let me know, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onesolesurvivor Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I think the issue may have stemmed from a faulty battery for the batteries supplied in box. New batteries resolved the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stvnxu Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Oh interesting. Glad you were able to resolve the issue. I'll submit this as a heads up for our internal team. Thank you for reporting this! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Jey Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I'm pretty sure that's a reason which caused that rumor of very poor battery life. The use of the delivered original batteries. I ordered an 8-pack Eneloops after I got my headset. I use them for maybe 8 hours or more (depends on games) and I have a spare of 4 fully loaded ones to swap immediately.

HackPerception Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 @A-Jey - We use Eneloops internally, they're a very reliable and trusted battery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Jey Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I got the 1900 mAh ones. I also use them on my XBOX One Controllers and I'm very satisfied. Also because they hold their load over long period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 @A-Jey They're super popular in the photography world where they've been regarded as one of the highest quality brands available for over a decade. The quick charger they're bundling with nowadays (Panasonic BQ-CC55) is also best in class for it's price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onesolesurvivor Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 To be honest I just run cheap Energizer rechargeable and they last at least the 8. Only problem I have now are intermittent tracking issues and they are getting much better. Overall I'm loving the cosmos. Just need to spring for the wireless kit.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stvnxu Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 @Onesolesurvivor Glad the Cosmos is working out for you!! 🙂 Although I'm not on our sales team, I'd say to wait till Black Friday or Cyber Monday to see if we do any deals. In the past, we've done some great bundles so fingers crossed! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
