INNOVATIVE DESIGNS
A little about us and what we do
All currently open orders will receive a free and automatic upgrade to v5! However, please be patient with us on getting your order shipped. v5 is in its final design testing phase which should be completed in the next few days. We expect to begin shipping v5 on December 19th, though it will take some time to get caught up since all shipments of orders were paused to be able to ship v5 to customers with open orders that hadn't already shipped.
R & J SimTech specializes in PC simulation head tracking technologies. At present, the IRTrackStar is designed as a plug n play cordless led clip upgrade to the Track Clip Pro for use with the TrackIR camera and sensor (sold separately by Natural Point). This upgrade greatly improves the user experience by carrying it's power supply onboard, improving tracking precision, and by improving the range of motion possible without losing track. The IRTrackStar can be seen and tracked by the TrackIR camera even while turned 90° perpendicular to the camera. Plus the IRTrackStar is durable and designed to last.
IRTrackStar v5 releases this week!! For v5, we really dug deep into the comments and reviews on the current RS Ultralight (v4) model. While everyone loves the IRTrackStar, there have been comments for improvement that we have taken to heart. So we are pleased to announce that the battery in the IRTrackStar is now removable! We moved the battery to the mounting arm for better weight balance, reduced the main body size, and reduced weight (...by 0.18 ounces, but savings is savings). And because the battery is now removable, it can now be hot swapped for a fresh battery while in flight. Any standard BL-5C battery will fit. Simply slide a fresh battery into the battery slot and go flying!
While we no longer offer the IRCam Deco, a new, more production friendly design called the IRCam XTR is currently in development. To go with the new cam, we will also be releasing a dedicated version of the IRTrackStar that is compatible with Opentrack software's tracking algorithms. And we will be releasing a bespoke version of Opentrack that's packaged with our own scratch-built plugin for future expansion. Future expansions will include an add-on sensor pack module which will incorporate low latency, high precision, 6dof head tracking that works in tandem with the infrared point tracking to provide the best of both; Fast response rates and ultra precision from the sensors, and positional and centering stability of infrared point tracking. This is our roadmap for 2026, a fully standalone high performance sensor fusion head tracking package!
We will also continue to sell the TrackIR version of the IRTrackStar (the current model that's available) This led clip, paired with TrackIR, has been the backbone of RJSimTech. It's the workhorse that never disappoints!

Let customers speak for us
Upgrade from TrackIR Track clip Pro is an understatement
A bit heavier than my old TrackClip Pro reflector clipped to headphones, but after a couple of sessions I didn't notice the weight at all — and best of all, no more cables to snag on the stick or throttle.
The biggest surprise was how effortlessly it just works with my existing setup. I already had the TrackIR camera and NaturalPoint software running exactly as before — I turned the headset on, started DCS and had perfect, silky-smooth tracking instantly. Zero configuration, zero new drivers, or tinkering required. It simply appears as a normal TrackIR source in the NaturalPoint software and delivers noticeably more precise, drift-free tracking than the old reflective clip ever could.
My only minor wish is a way to check exact battery percentage. Right now you only get a low-battery warning light, so a small app or overlay showing remaining charge would be the final touch.
That one tiny nitpick aside, this is hands-down the best head-tracking upgrade you can buy if you’re already invested in the TrackIR camera and NaturalPoint software setup. Ditch the wired clip — you won’t believe how much better wireless feels. Highly recommended!

Overjoyed
Love my new Trackstar. Precise and light. Head and shoulders above the Natural Point Pro Headset.

IRTrackStar RS Ultralight
Excellent
Works great, and great quality. It's a little on the heavier side, compared to the trackIR pro clip or something like a Delanclip, but the battery life and build quality are excellent.

Love it
Great communication from the seller, works much better than my TrackIR pro clip. I don’t notice the extra weight. Thanks!

IRTrackStar RS Ultralight
Very happy with the product. It's very light and comfortable but feels way more well-built and durable than the TrackClip Pro I had previously. Being wireless is super convenient. It worked with my TrackIR camera and software the same way that the TrackClip Pro did.

No brainer!
The RS Ultralight works great.
-Set up was, well, turn it on and point it at your sensor.
-Build quality looks like it will last a while, especially since it won't be yanked off my head anymore by the cord!
-It is bigger and heavier than what I was expecting but that cannot be avoided due to battery tech, Definitely not a real issue, but
you will notice it more when attached to head set. A trade-off for not being tethered.
-I had no issues with the TrackIR version besides the chord. so I can't say that it works better for tracking. It's the same.
-I quit before the battery does. Take that how you will.
I purchased this for medical reasons. I have a bad disk in my neck that would flare up after an hour using the Track IR chorded version from me trying to subliminally stay as still as possible I guess. The issue never happens when just using the same head set. This solved that. The first session I used it I quit due to eye fatigue not crippling neck spasms!

The RJ Sim tech IR track star RS ultralight is better than the track ir5. Good news is that it works with the trackir five sensor. Still using the track IR software no changes necessary it just has better overall range and performance for DCS flight Sim

Fantastic Product
A great replacement for my aging TrackIR TrackClip Pro. I put together a full video review here https://youtu.be/9gwJZeZ2tok

Really amazing
I really enjoy using my headset. It's light and I love not having to be plugged into anything

IRTrackStar RS Ultralight
Highly recommended
DCS user here, If you're looking for a wireless solution this is definitely the way to go. The strap adapts perfectly to any shape of the headset (tested with two, a thick one and another much slimmer), is stable and reactive.
The charging requiremenet may appear daunting, but it's just a regular usb charger you may already have at home from other appliances (not smartphones).
Seller is responsible and comunicative, and shipping times as expected (USA to Italy).
Definitely would recommend to friends
