looks pump though in comparison to the others, at least imo.

well as long as their expense and errors lead to me not having to make them, waiting a bit for a stock to appear is a minor pain i can bear......for now!

There are a lot of poo accessories out there that you may not need. For me, having the headset held on my face by tension of the default strap or the elite strap is a no from me.
The halo is much more comfortable as the pressure is on the forehead and the headset rests against the face.

Aye from my reading I think I’d prefer that method.
Need to get prescription lenses sorted too, gotta try and get hold of my optician this week and get a copy of my script. Can’t be dealing with glasses on while playing.

The amvr facial interface seems to have been pulled. Maybe in response to the light leakage stuff?

ah ok, might explain why i can't see a single one listed anywhere, even as an out of stock item. shame as it would have been my preference.

Mine too, but if they're intending to improve it and re-release, I'll not be upset.

has anybody tried the Frankenquest mod? I have a Vive deluxe audio strap and have seen that it is supposed to work with the Quest 2? Any issues if you have tried it?

I just got hold of the VR Cover rear PU pad for the Quest 2 elite strap.

It does make the headstrap a bit more comfortable - on some sessions I would find the rear of my head hurting, and this seems to stop that. It also makes it easier to take off the headset as you don't have to relax the headband as much, because there's now 'give' in the rear pad.

VR Cover took around 2 weeks to arrive for me, ordered Jan 12th.

Edit - definitely better than the original interface. I am still having issues though with everything steaming up quite quickly.

My VRCover only arrived today also having ordered on the 12th.

Talking of VR Cover I have missing Velcro from the plastic insert and so far their customer service hasn’t been great.

Should I get a link cable with type c both ends or a on one end? I do have one type c port on my pc

ShiWarrior · 26 Jan 2021 at 12:44

Usbc to usbc if you have the port

I've tried a USBc to USBc cable with a converter on it to USBa and running it without the adaptor, made no difference

anyone seeing anywhere to get the anker docking station??

ShiWarrior · 26 Jan 2021 at 21:18

dont think its available yet , or is it ?

McPhee · 26 Jan 2021 at 22:02

US only I think. I know it was available direct from Oculus in the US, and I've seen some people post it on r/OculusQuest.

So far only on the US store and $87. As it's going to be a direct conversion to £87, it's a lot of moolah for what it does.

drakulton · 26 Jan 2021 at 22:38

Another docking station review. It appears it's not compatible with any type of controller/headset cover.

Yea that’s a little too rich for me for a charging dock.

My Gomrvr halo strap arrived and i must say its night and day above the elite strap for myself.
I couldnt quite find the sweet spot using the elite strap and was always adjusting it. The halo strap just works and i get a better sweet spot and clearer image.
The ease of putting the halo on and off is also much better, not adjusting the rear tensioner everytime, just lift it straight off.

Everyone will be different and what suits one person wont suit another but for the money im well pleased.
I'll keep the elite strap for the time being as a backup but the halo is now my main one along with the Vr cover facial interface

AMVR facial interface is compatible with the official glasses spacer.
