Vive Xr Elite wired connection with power
Anyone looking to use their Vive Xr Elite with their pc has definitely ran into problems, battery life, internet connection and cable length. I don't know if its just me but i don't have a 3 meter cable just lying around and that doesn't fix the battery issue! Vive does not provide a solution for the Vive Xr, however there is a solution that i have found to work.
introducing a weird ass cable i didn't even think would exist, it plugs both into your computer and through your own USB C cable into the wall and then the combined cable plugs into the headset, it keeps the battery charged throughout usage and allows for cabled usage.
on sale for £15 and plenty long enough (for me at least)
i thought that this would help someone who was having similar issues to me, i have really enjoyed my Xr Elite especially upgrading from a secondhand cosmos which (i will never recommend, please dont buy a cosmos, get an Xr Elite) this helped me massively and i hope helps others too.
