haha, I know it sounds like I am complaining. I am not. 2020 has been such a bad year for tech, that I consider myself one of the lucky ones

Starting to wonder where this Quest strap has gotten to. "Delivery in 2 to 15 days" and today is day 15. The tracking number still isn't recognised by Royal Mail.

Finally got a tracking number from VRCover for my Q2 VR interface...i don't think it's in the uk yet looks like it's been dispatched today with DHL...so my email on the 25th nov saying it had been shipped was a load of rubbish then.

Annoyingly they don't have stock of what everyone wants (facial interface + foam cover) but they have said their US store will get more stock in 2 weeks.

Good to hear that they have been sent out. I had the same email on the 25th of November.

Same here. Finally got a tracking number and email to say its landed in the UK this morning . Hopefully we may see them next week. Still pretty poor updates since it was supposed to have been sent on the 25th

Yep got my tracking update as well but mine has not arrived in the UK yet! I hope mine does not go walk abouts :rolleyes:

my ali express order 3 days ago roughly says on RM website they are waiting for it, and still waiting for it

nothing about VR covers yet

I think something like this might be useful for those sims that force you to use the VR hand controller to control a plane/spacecraft instead of using a PC joystick.

Anyone use any handles/grips, specifically looking for some lightsaber style grips for beat saber. Seen a few around but reviews seem fairly average.

My understanding is that they are very top-heavy, and thus uncomfortable to be swinging, would feel more like a hammer than a sword.

I just use the claw grip for beat saber.

My head strap arrived.

Typical Ali Express nonsense. It arrived late. The tracking never did work. And they've shipped me two L brackets, rather than one L and one R. And one of the sets of brackets is warped.

But... I got it to work. And it's definitely an improvement over the fabric strap. It'll do while I wait on the MVH strap becoming available.

Well my VR cover tracking shows the parcel as still being in Germany but lo and behold it arrived this afternoon!
Will give my thoughts on it later after work when I get a chance to use it but I'm sure it will be an improvement.
