According to our wireless receiver for VR headsets expert
Note: this TP Cast isn't suitable for the new Oculus Rift S With the TP Cast Wireless Receiver for Oculus Rift, you can enjoy a wireless VR experience from now on. The wireless receiver that mounted on the Oculus' headband processes all signals without a cable running from the Oculus headset to your PC. This allows full freedom of motion and means you'll no longer trip over your cables and pull at your PC or laptop. You can also connect the Oculus to the included power bank, allowing you to play for 5 consecutive hours, depending on the game. Connecting and linking the receiver will take some work the first time, but is an absolute game changer for VR gaming.

Miraculously, the wireless connection does not cause any noticeable delay. For one reason or another, the HDMI signal is sent less widely, so that you see a bit more black at the edges in the Oculus.
Being inactive is great, even so good (too good?) that you lose orientation after 1 minute of playing. You really don't know where you really stand, so pay extra attention to the virtual wall. With a wire you always subconsciously knew where you stand in the real world.

The freedom you get from using the TPCast is amazing. You clearly feel that you are not tied to the PC, so that you are more immersed in the experience. This freedom comes at the expense of the overall picture. The image is cut to the left and right of the screen, presumably to limit the data sent wirelessly for the optimal experience without stuttering. It is a pity that a second battery is not included. This way, extreme users can continue playing when the battery runs out. The battery charges quickly but you will still have to wait. It also seems that the battery cannot be used to the last "drop". When it is at about 30%, the signal starts to falter. All in all a welcome addition. Definitely recommended for intensive and mobile games. If the cable itself is not a problem for you, I recommend extending the cables instead of going wireless. For games like Robo Recall, I definitely recommend going wireless.

Installation of the product is not easy, this is because, among other things, the microphone of the rift does not work with the standard software. This can be solved by using other software, namely open TPcast. However, there are license costs associated with the use of this software.
