Track IR Pro Clip Headset Mod

thingiverse

I own the Corsair Void model headphones and the Trackir pro clip (cheapo sunglass clip) was too small to attach to my headset. Also why is this wired. All it needs is a little over 4 volts to work. They take 5V from the PC and use a resistor to step down the voltage. I am using a LIPO 1 cell battery fully charged gives me 4.2V. Works perfect. You will need two M2 x 12 mm screws and 1 M3 x 12mm screw. the two are to mount the battery tray and one for the pivot on the headset. Disassembly of the Pro Clip is tricky but not difficult. Just use a small flablade screwdriver and pry the assembly apart. solder a female JT connector (same as 1s battery) to the IR wires. and reassemble. You dont need the resistor if you use a 1s LIPO battery. I was going to use the power from the headset but the battery is on the wrong side and didnt want to mess with it.
