Quest 2 accessories - recommendations, reviews etc

Received my AMVR grips today. I knew before buying that it's a hard plastic rather than silicone but I was expecting it to be a little tacky still.
It's not really any different than just the controller in terms of feel, however the elasticed strap makes it still worthy of the purchase.
Makes it secure and comfortable. I don't like using the wrist strap so with this, I've taken it off.

I went with the Kiwi grips (pro design), I had Kiwi grips back when I had the original quest and liked them so figured I would give their new design a try and very happy with them.

It was mostly in Half Life Alyx I appreciated them, opening your hand when pushing open a door was a small thing but added to the immersion.

I received these today as well, really impressed. Good texture to them, very grippy and the velcro strap allows you to adjust the fit perfectly.

The Kiwi covers, the pro ones, really do look much better than the VR Cover ones.

Is the strap secure enough? I went with the elasticated strap because I watched a review saying you can have it as tight as you want it without it cutting off circulation and still have the freedom to move the fingers freely, whereas the velcro ones if you have it at ideal tightness, it restricts your fingers, but too loose and it's not as secure as you'd like.

VR cover alternative for fat-heads.

sorry for a question that's probably answered a million times - link cable alternatives, is there a generally agreed upon go to? did try some of the links in the op but they don't seem to take me to any posts that make mention of cables for some reason.

They should take you to relevant posts

.

I think there's a 20ft newzero (newzerol?) that seems to be a pretty good one.

EDIT - All the links work for me...

Does the first cable link on the first post not take you to post #186?

Potentially. Seems daft to have a post number system that relies on pages rather than just a straight up post number.

nope, takes me to post 361, top of page 10

Yeah, it's done on page number, I've just seen that. Well that's daft. You can see what the post number should be, but for some reason it goes to the page first, then seems to try and find the correct post once it's there.

Bugger..... looks like it's going to be another late night then.

Unseul · 17 Jan 2021 at 23:10

Either change your page settings to the default, or just look for the correct post buy using the post number at the end of the links. For me 186 is on page 10.

Self face punching and AMVR facial interface review.

Unseul · 18 Jan 2021 at 11:04

I've been looking at the amvr facial pack, those little side pieces look like exactly what I need, and I like the idea of a thin foam to get closer and increase fov. Might have to get it...

ScoobyDoo · 18 Jan 2021 at 12:12

Ive read a few issues with the AMVR interface saying that because the plastic is orange it lets light in and you get an orange glow inside the headset.
Ive got the VR cover myself but just a warning for people thinking of purchasing the AMVR one.
