With the TP Cast Wireless Receiver for HTC Vive, you can enjoy a wireless VR experience from now on. The wireless receiver that's mounted on the Vive's headband processes all signals without a cable running from the Vive to your PC. This allows full freedom of motion, and means you'll no longer trip over your cables and pull at your PC or laptop. You can also connect the Vive to the included power bank, allowing you to play for 5 consecutive hours, depending on the game. Connecting and linking the receiver will only take some work one time, but is an absolute game changer for VR gaming.

Owned the receiver for a few months now. And this one is good. Wireless VR (Roomscale) is really a step further, don't worry about tripping over the cables. It's the first time that I've really lost my orientation while playing.
Installation of the product is actually quite simple: download software on PC and install it, replace the long cable with the cables that are included (all neatly labeled). Charge the battery, find a place for the transmitter and the WiFi router and you can enjoy it right away.
The battery is large enough to keep gaming for a long session (about 4 hours), yet I have taken an extra battery (rarely needed).
Are there any drawbacks: yes, the microphone and camera is not supported (although there is an alternative firmware on the internet that does use the microphone). I do notice latency when downloading and installing games in the background. Also, not all headphones will work (earplugs are fine, but those that fall over your ears can be a problem). The product is also relatively expensive, but the build quality is fine.
I can highly recommend it.

TP Cast is good, but could have been better integrated in the end.

The installation is for a real puzzler. Finally got it to work by downloading other software from the internet than what is mentioned in the manual. Once installed it works fine. Enjoy the VR world without having to pay attention to a cable. I do sometimes forget that I have to charge the battery, so a spontaneous game is not always possible.
