What is the weight and dimensions of all items in the full Valve Index kit, unboxed?

Solution 1:

24" x 17" x 9" inches according to Amazon; about 58.5 x 39.5 x 21.6 cm (23" x 15.5" x 8.5") says someone on Reddit (I'm assuming the decimal shows those numbers have a higher accuracy).

The entire set - headset, controllers, and base station - weighs 7.83 kg (17.26 lbs) boxed, according to a user in this thread.
The dimensions roughly seem to correspond, based on the photographs shown there.

Solution 2:

I measured these weights using a generic unknown brand ~10 USD electronic kitchen scale with 5kg max weight and 1 gram deviation powered by a CR2032 battery.

Everything has been taken out from the original box but what was in its individual black paper boxes was kept in them. Everything measured here is outside of these individual boxes.

The kit is European and comes with both EU and US power adapter prong attachments.

  • Headset with cable which is attached to it and with the back-of-the-head rubber support thing: 1248g
  • Base station (without stand): 238g ×2 = 476g
  • Base station stand (without station): 55g ×2 = 110g
  • Controller with the strap attached (it's tiny): 199g
  • Mounting screws in a plastic bag for the base station: 9g ×2 = 18g
  • All of the power adapters with European power prongs attached + 2 USB charging cables for the controllers: 674g
  • All of the empty paper boxes from the wires and adapters (except the manual and its box): 146g
  • 3 US power adapter prongs: 78g
  • Manual and its box: 115g
  • Lens wiping cloth: 5g

Total: 3069g


Because everything has been taken out of the original box (as it's definitely too big and unwieldy for international air travel), the dimensions are variable, and I don't have an easy way to measure them or the total volume if most efficiently yet still safely repacked. Anyone else who knows how can post an answer with that info.
