Active strap is great the way it connects to the controllers. Attaches to my hand at the perfect spot. Expensive, but worth it. Whether you’re just looking for a way to charge during gameplay, or you want to connect Quest 3 to your computer via Meta Quest Link to use it as a PC VR headset, you’ll need a USB-C cable long enough to get the job done. Silicone gasket is actually pretty nice and you can wipe it off easily for different users. I’ll need to try it longer, but I might just leave this one on. Not really. All you need is a proprietary snap-on mechanism that can be protected, claiming intellectual property. King C. Gillette invented the double-edged safety razor blade around 1900, when looking for a disposable product that customers would have to buy over and over again, and of course patented it. Wider Adjustments for Ultimate Comfort: The side straps could flip up 60° to easily wear or removal. And flip down 10° to suit various rear head shapes. Bring a balanced weight distribution.

Note: Only charge your headset and Elite strap with battery with an adapter that is 18 W or higher. Install with ease by removing your original strap and simply snapping the Elite Strap with Battery into place Note: Virtual Desktop developer Guy Godin has reported an early issue with Quest 3 and how it connects over Wi-Fi. For now, it appears the headset has network performance issues with routers running in Wi-Fi 5 (AC) mode. The issue disappears when switching the router to Wi-Fi 6 (AX) or Wi-Fi 6e (AXE) mode. Image courtesy D-Link You should be able to game easily enough using Air Link on that old 2.4GHz router, although if you’re looking to get the most out of Air Link-ing your headset to a VR-ready PC for a host of PC VR games, it might be time to upgrade to a dual-band router, as Meta recommends connecting to Wi-Fi via 5GHz band (AC or AX).

Attach the Elite strap with battery side arms to the arms of the headset. You should feel and hear a snap, indicating that the arms are attached. Maximise comfort with a balancing design that uses the weight of the battery to lift your headset away from your face Keep your headset in place and your visuals clear with rigid stabilising straps that give all-round support I think the fov is to the point where I don’t mind it. With quest 2 I’d always think about how I wish it was bigger. See child safety guidance online at meta.com/quest/parent-info; Meta accounts for 10+. Terms apply.Travel case. Very durable and I like how the zipper is oriented so you can hold your quest in there, close it up and leave it a bit open so a charging cable goes right to the charging port. If the zipper was the other way you couldn’t do it easily.

Right from the get-go, I've happily remained in VR for stints pushing over an hour. That's new for me. Not only has this totally changed how I see games that require more of my time flailing in VR, it's cranked the immersion up, largely by preventing those reality-shattering moments of readjusting the strap, for the most part. I still feel the need on occasion but with much less regularity than in the past.Attach the Elite strap side arms to the arms of the headset. You should feel and hear a snap, indicating that the arms are attached. Unified Design with Quest 3: Seamlessly blend with the headset's design, offering a unified and stylish look. Meta doesn’t prevent other companies from introducing compatible products that compete with their own. Compare that to Apple, who patented their MagSafe magnetic power adapters, didn’t license it to anybody, and even sued a company that bought original Apple power adapters to cut off the MagSafe plug and attach it to a power bank for MacBooks, for patent violation. We’ll soon see if they allow AVP prescription lens inserts from other parties than their partner Zeiss, who will charge USD 300-600 for a pair. Meta plays very fair with the accessories, allowing competition and those that do a little research to get much cheaper alternatives, while providing decent quality for users that prefer to buy original accessories from the HMD manufacturer itself, be it for convenience, quality, service or appearance.

If you can get your hands on a Quest 3, you’ve got everything you need right in the box to start playing some of the best VR games out there. Once you’ve got a few hours under your belt though, you’ll probably notice a few things that definitely need improving, many of which can thankfully be solved with a few key aftermarket accessories. Note: After you plug in the Elite strap with battery, the status LED on the bottom of the battery will stay on for 5 seconds to indicate the battery charge status and will then turn off.

Play for longer with a built-in second battery that delivers up to double the play time* between charges Recharge your Elite Strap battery and your Quest 2 headset battery at the same time. No additional charge cables or power outlets required Clarity accross view is great, but when you look to the left and right you can see the space in between the lenses with one eye. I never noticed this in other headsets. It’s kind of like how you can see your nose irl, but only when you pay attention to it. Provided you can 3D print your own adapter though, you may be able to use any Quest 2 aftermarket strap on the market, which should give you a little more choice in the meantime.
