HI I just bought a Pimax 8kx and want to know if anyone know a place to get a really good deal on the index controlers and bases stations. I cant seem to figure out how to order them on the pimax website without ordering the headset aswell. Everywhere else but the pimax website, thet set is much more money. Thanks

For Index Controllers with Lighthouse Combo likely best through Steam/Valve as no concerns with potential import fees.

Otherwise maybe ebay?

Thanks. Ive been checking ebay prices for a view days. The prices are crazy. Usually around $800 total for controllers and base stations, even the used ones. Do you know if its possible to get the $500 price, from pimax, without buying anything else?

To be honest you would need to maybe try pimax support with a ticket and see what they say.

@PimaxQuorra maybe able to help. A lot will depend on there policies and procedures I imagine.

Hello,

If you’ve purchased the headset from our website, and you need the controllers and base stations, I’d suggest you to file a ticket with our support.  
Telling them you need the remaining items, and they should be providing you the quotation that cost lower than Ebay.

I would recommend trying to find cheap secondhand 1.0 base stations, instead of 2.0. Might shave the cost down. If you can, buy the index controllers new direct from valve as you’ll likely need to RMA them at some point.

Thanks. Sadly Valve is out of stock. So I need to buy them elsewhere. Luckily I just found a used set locally.
