The store page has a pretty comprehensive list on what every kit contains; but I wanted to make a more visual photo-album of what each kit will look like in terms of unboxing.

​

The Full Kit

Includes:

1. The headset itself
2. The built-on headphones
   1. Please note these are speakers and not headphones. They are meant to hover a few centimeters away from your ears.
3. Headset cable (I think both ends are proprietary connectors)
   1. (It plugs into the left side of the headset, just like the Rift. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack right of it, as you can see here.)
4. "Trident" cable
   1. A proprietary connector at the end of the Index HMD cable goes into the "Trident" cable. The Trident cable acts as a splitter. It splits the cable into power, - to be inserted into an outlet -, a USB plug & A DisplayPort plug.
5. Headset Power Supply
   1. The power supply that you connect on one end to the regionalized power plug (that goes into your outlet) and on the other end you connect to the trident cable.
6. Aforementioned regionalized powerplug
7. Headset "Cradle" adapter
   1. This adapter is inserted into the back of the HMD strap to effectively make the strap tighter.
8. Headset face gasket (Also available for sale separately - 40 USD for 2)
   1. Connected to the headset via four magnets as can be seen in Tested's hands-on video.
9. 2 controllers (one left, one right)
   1. They forgot to mention lanyards, but they are included it would seem.
10. 2x USB C controller charging cables
11. Unboxing here, they're likely the same or slightly different in final consumer version.
12. 2 SteamVR 2.0 Base-stations (Back)
13. 2x 15ft Base-Station power cables
14. Base-station stands + mounting hardware
15. Base-station power supply
16. Base-station power adapter plugs

​

Please note that there's only 15 things on the list; for some reason you can't do 10.A. Reddit formatting bug, apparently.

As it turns out, every single piece bought separately includes a cleaning cloth. So if you were to buy the headset, controllers and two base stations all separate, you'd get 4 cleaning cloths. You only get one with the full kit, however.

​

This leaves us with one burning question however. Does that little folder in the box... Include stickers?
