GFTVRCE USB Wireless Dongle Receiver for SteamVR Controllers

GFTVRCE 2 Pack upgraded USB wireless dongles let you pair Valve Index controllers, HTC Vive devices, and compatible SteamVR trackers to your PC quickly and reliably.

These compact USB receivers are pre-flashed with watchman firmware to emulate SteamVR/HTC Vive receiver functionality, enabling plug-and-play pairing for a range of motion controllers and trackers. Sold in bulk packaging as a two-pack, each dongle is tested before shipping to ensure consistent operation with SteamVR software. They provide a straightforward way to add native wireless tracking support to PCs that need extra receiver ports or to replace lost or damaged dongles.

How do these dongles work with my SteamVR setup?

Insert the USB receiver into an available PC port and allow your operating system to install drivers automatically; SteamVR will then detect it and you can pair compatible headsets, controllers, or trackers. The pre-installed watchman firmware mimics the behavior of official Steam/HTC receivers so pairing follows the same SteamVR app process.

• Plug-and-play USB connection for quick installation
• Works with SteamVR pairing workflow
• Pre-flashed firmware removes extra setup steps
• Each unit tested for functionality before dispatch

Which devices are compatible with these receivers?

These USB dongles support Valve Index controllers, HTC Vive controllers, HTC Vive trackers, and other SteamVR-compatible peripherals like VR Ink Pilot. They are ideal when you need additional receiver ports or want to use Index controllers on a non-Index headset that supports SteamVR tracking.

• Valve Index controllers — full pairing and tracking
• HTC Vive controllers and Vive Trackers — supported
• Other SteamVR peripherals that use watchman-style receivers
• Not compatible with unrelated devices such as REVVL 4 PLUS smartphones

What performance and reliability can I expect?

GFTVRCE dongles are designed to deliver a stable wireless link for low-latency tracking when used with SteamVR. Each unit undergoes testing prior to shipment to confirm it establishes connections and remains stable during pairing. Performance depends on USB port quality and radio interference in your environment.

• Low-latency wireless pairing when used in clear RF environments
• Tested before shipping to help ensure reliable operation
• Works on standard USB-A ports with auto-installed drivers
• Performance may vary near crowded wireless channels or blocked antenna paths

How do I set one up and troubleshoot common issues?

Setup is generally automatic: plug the dongle into a free USB port, wait for driver installation, then open SteamVR and follow the pairing prompts for your device. If a device doesn’t pair, try a different USB port, restart SteamVR, or move the dongle to reduce radio obstructions.

• Use a direct PC USB port rather than a passive hub for best results
• Restart SteamVR and re-run controller pairing if needed
• Relocate the dongle to improve line-of-sight to controllers/trackers
• Confirm device compatibility before attempting to pair

Who this is for: This 2-pack of GFTVRCE USB SteamVR dongles is suited to PC VR users who need extra receiver ports, want to connect Valve Index or HTC Vive peripherals to a non-native headset, or require replacement dongles without sourcing original-branded hardware. It's a practical, tested option for hobbyists, developers, VR arcades, and anyone expanding or repairing a SteamVR tracking setup.
