TrackIR

[FlankerMan]

I was intending on getting some kind of TrackIR soon, and was wondering what you would recommend. I do have two parameters for suggestions, though:

 

1-It needs to be Windows 10 compatible.

 

2-It needs to be in the $30-50 range.

 

 

Also, how simple are these to operate? And, do they plug in, or just clip on, or what?

TrackIR is comparable with Windows 10

But it does cost about $150

It is very easy to use, about the most intuitive controllers there is.

I use this one: https://delanengineering.com/shop/DelanClip-Gamer-p43397050 ... that meets both criteria.

I've mine fastened to my headphones using a couple of plastic cable ties:

 

 

 

 

The software needs quite a bit of tuning in order to work smoothly, but here you can see how smooth it can get:

This is important. If you want out of the box useability then TIR (for lots more money) is what you need. You get what you pay for.

I havent really used TrackIR, but I do understand that it too requires at least some degree of tuning.

Minimal tuning if any. I have adjusted my curves but it was quite functional even without adjustments.

Depends on your preference and the game. For most games I use it just with the preset “smooth” setting and have never needed to adjust it. DCS however I did find the need to. For example your movement in DCS is faster, I prefer to slow it down and there is a need to look behind throttles etc for click switches.
