This might be the most unconventional accessory on the list, but a VR-ready PC is truly one of the best (and most expensive) Oculus Quest 2 accessories you can buy. A VR-ready PC will allow you to play PC VR content (like Half-Life: Alyx and Skyrim VR) on your Oculus Quest or Quest 2 via USB on Oculus Link or wirelessly using Air Link or Virtual Desktop ( head here to find out how). Want to keep your Quest 2 safe and secure? Read our Oculus Quest 2 Carrying Case review to find out if it’s the right option for you! Some TVs have built-in Chromecast capability, or you might already own a Chromecast-enabled device attached to your TV, but if not, you’ll need to buy a Chromecast. The first option is by AMVR, pictured above. I’ve got this stand myself and it’s a fantastic if you want something simple and inexpensive that blends in and matches the clean white aesthetic. The two arms that hold the Touch controllers are also optional, so if you’d rather remove them and have the controllers sitting upside down beside the Quest, that’s an option too. I also really like the visual design in this iteration, although Upload’s own David Jagneaux thinks it looks like a hairy egg. The outside of the device is covered in a fuzzy felt colored in a mixture of earthy grays. It gives the kit a sort of mythical tablet vibe which I’m pretty fond of. The zip, meanwhile, is embedded under the lid, which gives the top a nice seamless feel. That said the string attached to the zip is a little flimsy and could cause issues if it ever came off. Space For Everyone?

The Quest 2 doesn’t come with any form of portable storage for the headset. Given that you could easily damage the headset or scratch the exposed lenses, getting a case is an absolute must. We immediately loved the feel of the inside of this case. The lining of the other cases felt fairly rough with a scratchy finish, whereas this truly feels soft, and you can hear the difference when you fit your Meta Quest 2. It’s pretty quiet as you slot the headset and controls into the indentations, and on top of feeling nice, the soft finish helps protect the device if it moves around. Because of the indentations, our Quest remained pretty secure, and the elastic strap kept the controllers in place. An important note — when using a lens protector, you may have to fully turn the headset off or change its power settings, as they can activate the headset’s proximity sensor. VR Cover has been around for some time and is known for making accessories designed to improve headset hygiene and comfort against the face. We’ve tested a fair few of their Quest-specific covers, straps and facial interface replacements in the past. Some staff members love the added comfort, while others don’t feel they made a huge difference.

Ironically, despite the fact that Quest 2 is smaller than its predecessor, the official Carrying Case is actually about 5cm longer than the Quest 1’s alternative. The kit stores everything the original did, including your headset, its controllers and space for the charging wire included in the box. However, instead of hiding the wire in a compartment under your controllers, this iteration has a separate space for it at one end of the storage area. Still, it’s the same width (around 21cm) and would still fit into most spaces you were storing your original Quest. The lenses are one of the most vulnerable parts of the Quest headset — they can be permanently scratched and direct sunlight can be magnified through them, resulting in burnt screen pixels. There are two kinds of Chromecasts — the Chromecast and the Chromecast Ultra. The only difference between the two is that the latter allows you to play 4K content. The Quest does not output a 4K stream when casting, so you probably won’t see any difference there. However, if you have a 4K TV then the Ultra will provide you with the best quality stream for most other Chromecast media like Netflix and YouTube. However, the facial interface replacements are the best option if you plan on exercising and getting sweaty in VR — you can easily swap the covers our when things get a bit slippery.

Cleaning the lenses ( here’s a guide for best cleaning practices) can have a dramatic effect on your VR experience. Some headsets ship with cleaning cloths, but Quest 2 does not. Oculus Quest 2 is the go-to virtual reality headset for many. It has an ever-expanding library of games that rule the sales charts as far as virtual reality games are concerned. Also, if users have the correct software, they can sideload a plethora of independent games and projects that blow the lid on what’s capable in VR. Users can even tether Oculus Quest 2 to a capable PC to run Stream VR and Oculus Rift titles, games that usually need a high-end gaming PC to produce some next-level VR experiences.

Multi-Device Wall Charger

If you have a VR-ready PC and want to use Oculus Link with a stable wired connection, you’ll need the right type of cable.

Controller grips provide some extra protection for your Touch controllers. The grips pictured above are by Kiwi and actually replace Touch controller’s battery cover, forming a shell that sits across the face of the controller. Not only does this give you added protection, but it also adds on grips straps akin to those on the Valve Index controllers, so you can keep your controllers attached without gripping them the entire time. If you have a permanent spot in your house for your Quest 2, you’re going to need something to put it on. Price, many would probably disagree because there is always going to be cheaper options for a case like this one. There is such a strong argument as to why you should always pay the right price for quality when your trying to protect a very expensive and fragile item that you have invested a lot of money into You can browse VR Cover’s Quest 2 accessory range on their US, International and European stores.

Oculus Link-Compatible Cable

Nintendo Wii launched 11 years after the Virtual Boy on November 19th, 2006. While the console hardware itself was severely out of date for its time, Nintendo brought gaming to a mass market and into the forefront of popular culture thanks to its motion controller. Oculus Quest and virtual reality also rely on motion controls, which Nintendo saw great success in. The Wii-mote successfully brought motion controls into gaming for the first time, and everyone from Grandmas to parents was getting into games like Mario Galaxy and Wii Sports. It changed the gaming landscape forever. The Meta Quest 2 Carrying Case is the obvious choice for many Quest fans — and there are reasons behind its popularity. At first glance, it has a very smart and sleek design, with a gray felt finish and a capsule-like shape. The single zip also appears hidden under the lid, which gives the top a suspended appearance. There’s a single, soft loop handle on the outside and compartments within for the headset, controllers and cables. This case can fit the Elite Strap with Battery as well for added versatility. However, no accessories are included, which is a bit of a letdown. If you want the look of a bag, protection of a case, and plenty of room, this ANNAPRO model might be worth the extra cash. Which one is right for you? If a smudge is being stubborn, Facebook says users can dab a small amount of water on the cloth as well, but alcohol should not be used on lenses at all. Rigidity, probably the most important thing about a protective carry/travel case. Outstanding quality with no obvious compromises. Absolutely a must have to protect your Meta quest 2.
