The only reason why I'm here is because I saw the price and I was like "wtf".
Clear intention of just milking as much as possible out of it. People need the tether when their own break. So either shove up the money for the new tether or just throw the whole headgear into the bin.
Bloody ridiculous.

Tbh if I had known + how easy it breaks, not even sure I would have bought an index. it's 160 cad... it's almost half a Quest 2. Even at 50, I would have thought it's overpriced but due to it being custom and manufactured in small quantities. 160 that is just ridiculous and it makes me pretty angry

very obviously a design spec issue so that you have to buy a new one therefore creating the market and then exploiting it... bet this is a US company because, well... capitalism breeds greedy bastards and the yanks are the greediest bastards of them all. Make America Greedy Again!


... incidentally mine broke and there is barely £10 worth or materials and costs in this cable. So by my well positioned estimate that is a profit of £109.... ♥♥♥♥ yeah Valve and Steam!!

Well its not a USB cable and it has to be durable enough to be stepped on a lot but not too heavy since its already too heavy, and it has to be fast and be much longer than 6 feet.

And how the hell can it be a capitalism thing if you cant actually buy a replacement? Ive been hoping this would come in stock for months! Mine still works, but theres some static snowy flickering thats very noticeable against a black backdrop like in dark areas of games or loading screens and I just want a new one. Now that I know the points of stress to look out for I can maintain a second one better, but I cant because they wont sell them.

Oh, man. That makes perfect sense. It has to be long and durable, and isn't a USB cable, so it really does warrant over 10% the cost of the whole system. Not like it's the most vulnerable part of the whole VR system that is the most susceptible to damage and in need of replacement sooner than any other part, so they get to capitalize on that demand and charge as much as they want, because without it you can't use the rest of the system.

Ya this is definitely market manipulation as in we are out of stock, jack up the price as high as possible they seem to be doing that with all Index parts, your telling me after 3 years they are still having problems with acquiring Replacement parts

They get 100 viiirgin nuns to massage each cable to ensure its integrity of a solid non breakable connection

This just pushed me over the edge, i'm not buying the valve index! Greedy bastards.

can we at least buy just that part which is connected to the headset itself? I am fine to buy spare parts, but man this is riddiculous pricing! especially when it is two part cable and the one which is just for the head set must be fairly cheap!!! Why do I need to buy a whole car when I just need a wheel???

It's a low volume product that's built to be a durable as possible. I doubt they are making much money off these.

I wouldn't exactly call 8 months of frequent but light usage "as durable as possible". I'm not doing anything crazy. The most I do is sit around or lie down and chill. I don't play any movement intensive games or do crazy things with my head.

The original cable the headset came with lasted 8 months using the questionable factory cable management which actually causes the cable to get squished every time you lift up the headstrap as Valve told you to do.

So with my first replacement cable, I tried to not do that anymore. I always paid special attention to not squish the cable, not step on it, pull on it or bend it and even tried alternative ways of routing the cable which people suggested to avoid the squishing.

And still, not even 8 months later, I get the funny randomly colored pixels again.

I anticipated this, so I actually bought two cables last time so I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of dealing with Steam support which is never fun, but becomes borderline torture when your stress resistance is pretty low.

I kind of don't want to give them another 140,--€ for something that I know will need replacement in another 8 months from now, no matter how careful I am.

yeah $129 for a cable seems a bit ridiculous. What is it made of gold or something? jesus
