  1. did a simple mod, used a 16340 battery, with holder and a 5v step up board, cut the wire and mounted the holder on the trackir. not a heavy weight to live with. though beware as always when doing this, warranty is out the window as soon as you do this. Step by step on how i made my trackir wireless(trackclip pro) 1. bought parts, or find parts at home if you are a tech geek like me. 2. sandpaper the surface of the trackir, to give the glue someplace to bond with properly(used two screws as well because my glue was not enough to hold it, due to it being super cheap and bad glue for the job) 3. prepare the battery solution, mine was as stated a 16340 rechargeable battery, a holder and a 5v step up board.(step up board due to 3.7v not quite being enough for the IR led's on the trackclip) 4. mount it using glue and screws(if you have screws, glue should be fine so long as its for plastic) 5. insert battery when you want to use it, remove when not using it. Notes: some soldering skills required, or someone who can do it for you. one charge of my 16340 battery will easily last 3 days, your mileage may vary. this can be done much better than what i did, as mine looks horrible, but works. and my overall gain in weight is about 20 grams over the standard with the wire.. not bad, though my battery tends to pop out if i shake my head too much, this can be easily fixed, i am just lazy.. all parts where sourced on aliexpress.. so prices will likely wary from my cost. overall, a great conversion for wireless headsets, and if done right, super cheap.(my solution cost about $8 for parts, plus shipping) Future notes: Might consider 3d printing some kind of new housing if possible.
