  • The HTC Vive Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is best):

  • Although it's a complicated bit of kit, the headset breaks down readily and without damage.

  • The head strap and face pads are removable and don't incorporate any sensors or electronics that might be prone to failure.

  • Standard Phillips and Torx screws are used throughout the headset, controllers, and base stations.

  • Reuse of the touchpad hardware from the Steam Controller means some replacement components are likely already available.

  • The large number of components, many of them quite delicate, means you'll want a service manual before attempting repairs.

  • Adhesive is used sparingly, but secures the lenses, Lighthouse base station covers, and sensor arrays.
