Things such as the common damage point where the cord plugs into the headset, wear and tear on the joystick and triggers, tangling/winding of cord, tweaking the overhead pulley system for best immersion and safety.
FIRSTLY USE AIR, such as compressed air, to remove debris.. SECONDLY MOISTEN THE >>>MICROFIBER<<< CLOTH, do apply your cleaning solution directly to the surface, especially on electronic devices.. FINALLY GENTLY SWEEP OR BRUSH, do not apply pressure and 'wipe' your surface clean.
Don't risk scratching or damaging a surface which serves the only purpose of being viewed through, unless you like staring at blemishes in your view that catch glare, interrupt focus, and disrupt immersion. If you're using the Index, the front compartment is a perfect place to store a microfiber cloth, I think it's purpose is for future peripheral equipment but you may as well put use to it for now.
I remember reading on quite a few forum posts about the automatic power-down not working due to some connection not working properly for one reason or another, didn't pay that much attention since I do manual powerdown.
I just unplug the stations when done; even if they go to standby I hear noises as well. Its great they are standby if I want to hop back into VR, but I only power it all on before a session with a switch/power extension for the base station and headset.
Sadly its a matter of luck for hardware errors. And 4 tracking stations are overkill unless you wish to go for the full tracking space of 10x10m with full accuracy. Heck the system works with just one, but not recommended.
Overall index is very worth; Controllers alone are the big game changer.
I bought some cheap remote-controlled outlet switches from a small local electronics store. Came with three individual plugs and a remote with on/off switches for all three. The remote has terrible range, but it's easier than reaching for it. I hope that helps.
Of course, it's hilarious to even need the stupid things when Valve could probably fix it with a firmware update to just actually turn the things off when they go to sleep. lol.
