Alright, so you just snagged a Quest 3 or maybe the Quest 3S, right? And first off, everything’s there in the box to dive into VR world. Seriously, the games are wild. But then, after a few epic hours—boom! You start noticing little things that could be better. Good news? Some nifty accessories might just fix ‘em up for you.
Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, headstraps! So, the headstrap that comes with it? Might bug you. Like, it kinda flops around and isn’t great with weight distribution. Some folk even say it digs into their ears. Yikes. Meta has their own straps, but honestly—$70 or $130? Ouch. Not really feeling that price tag.
But hey, the third-party peeps like KIWI Design and BOBOVR have got your back with more wallet-friendly options. KIWI’s got the K4 Headstrap at $40. It skips your ears (finally!), pivots easily, and even comes with a swappable pad. Then there’s BOBOVR M3 Pro with a battery for $50. This one’s cool ’cause it shifts the weight all nice to your forehead. Less pressure on the ol’ face, right?
Let’s talk facepads. If you’ve owned a Quest before, the new stock feels pretty nice. Better than that gross foam stuff. But cleaning it? No dice. Silicone covers are rad for workouts—just wipe ‘em down. KIWI’s offers let you swap easily from regular to silicone. And yeah, they fit the Quest 3S too.
Facial covers—oh man, KIWI’s PU leather interface for $25 even blocks light around your nose! Then they got a silicone cover for $17 that fits over your existing pad. Swap it on and off, clean it up, you know the drill.
Charging’s another story. The official dock’s there but $130? Nah, man. Get the Esclick Charging Dock for $37 instead. Magnetic adapters and everything. No built-in charging pins, but saves you almost a hundred bucks.
Pro tip: a magnetic USB-C cable can make charging super easy without tearing up your port. Great hack if you wanna keep things cheap!
Cases! Meta’s got a fancy $70 case, but really? The Sarlar Hard Case at $20 fits elite straps, stays compact. But check your aftermarket strap sizes. You’d hate to be that guy who gets the wrong size. Oops.
USB-C cables. The official Link Cable is $80. Thin, light—sure. But INIU’s version at $22? It even plugs into the wall to keep your headset charged longer than your grandpa at a family reunion.
Wireless gaming? Ah, you gotta love that sweet, free feeling of no cables. If you wanna rock Air Link for PC VR games, definitely look into a Wi-Fi 6 router. Worth it, trust me.
Oops. Did I say too much? Whatever. What crazy accessories are you diggin’ for the Quest 3 or 3S? Hit me up in the comments below or, you know, don’t. Up to you!
Okay — that’s it, I think!
