TrackIR Pro with Corsair Headset


DERacing

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

 

Although I am running VR now with my Odyssey Plus HMD, I do want to run the headset every now and then with a tracker to show others the fun of this sim.

 

 

I have a really nice Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless headset and a matching RGB Corsair stand. Also have the Trackir 5 Pro tracker... Problem is. It doesnt fit on the Void. The headband is just too big, thick and wide.

 

 

3D PRINTER TO THE RESCUE!!!

 

 

I also saw another thread were someone had ordered the little Duracell rechargeable power packs and was able to make their TrackIR wireless, well, at least not connected to anything. So I made 3 different mounts for the Void. 1 for the TrackIR tracker to mount onto. 1 for the duracell power pack and 2 for the TrackIR cable to lock it onto the headband as I dont want to cut and rewire the Tracker just yet.

 

I'll work on getting these put up on Thingverse in the next day or so.

 

 

Special thanks to guys like @FoxDelta for his amazing work with 3D printed add ons. He has some outstanding mods for the Warthog and is always pushing the rest of us to try to get better.

WAIT A MINUTE!

 

Are you telling me the entire purpose of its cord is JUST POWER for the LEDs?

What else should it be for? If you open up the ProClip its just cheap plastic, wiring and 3 LED's.

I dont think there is even a resistor in there...

 

Yep, and they charge 45$ for it :megalol:

EXACTLY!!!! I may order another one and see about adding a short cable. Dont want to mess up my current one right now.:joystick:

 

 

Tried it out earlier tonight and it works perfectly! Mounts are tight and solid. I changed the battery pack clip a little and put in a pathway for some velcro strip to run through. Looks damn nice if I do say so myself.

if you can solder, cut the cable. There are two wires inside. Connect them to the USB +5V and GND. And you are good to go. Some heat shrink to isolate every wire and than a bigger heat shrink over the whole cable. And you are done.

 

There is basicly nothing you can mess up, as long as you basic skill in soldering.

Thanks for the info... I may cut it this weekend then. I am just not sure that I wont put it back on another single headset at some point as I used to use my speakers and the headset was only for comms. But good info to know. I'll probably pick up another in case. :)

Pretty old topic. There are couple of tidier ways of dooing it.

For £52.49 you get a DelanclipWireless. No external USB Battery or similiar needed.
