now from what i heard so far, it seems that the majority is of the opinion, that trackir is still the best in terms of quality in tracking...
so this leads me to another question,....is here anybody, who used both, the trackir4 and the trackir5?

cause back then, i went with the trackir5, but if there is no real advantage to its predecessor, then i would probably buy trackir4 this time....its ridiculous that they didnt change the price of it at all in the last two years.
so i would be happy if i could save 50euros if trackir4 is working as good.

i know the differences from the chart between the two versions, but i have no glue, how this affects actual gameplay....so somebody who has used both versions, please tell me your experience.
Hello David:

I've owned every version of Trackir since it when to the market and based of that I answer my advices:

* Go for T5, you will benefit from improved resolution and improved camera limits -> smoother and does not loses track in some extreme situations.

* In all this years I've had a faulty unit. A T3 I think, and was exhibiting similar erratical behavior like you described. I did not care about warranty was over, bc I was convinced that it was a manufacture defect, so I pressed them politely but firmly (their first line may be somewhat irresponsive, they put someone in the first line to filter the insults and typical childish attitudes etc etc, but you keep going with a level head and you will get access to someone able to take decisions finally) and I've had the unit exchanged. They sent me a new one and asked me to destroy the older one.

Good luck m8.
S!
