Quest 2 accessories - recommendations, reviews etc

Unseul · 28 Oct 2020 at 12:59

Figured this could be a useful thread. I'll try and remember to update it as we go, linking the reviews/posts etc here. Any accessories or even home made mods can be here. Maybe some other enthusiastic person could grab the 2nd post so they can always take over if I stop

Of course you can link to MVH, OCUK does not sell anything he sells, so it's fine. It also looks pretty cool, if I hadn't already ordered a Halo I would have gone for his.

I should receive my Halo strap from Aliexpress within a month, will review that when I can.

Fair dos.

So https://mvhstudios.co.uk/collections/accessories/products/pro-headmount-for-the-oculus-quest-2 £19 and about £4.50 shipping. Really comfortable so far, highly adjustable and I suspect there's more comfort to be had from it. I haven't used any other headset or strap, except for the quest 2 original, and I didn't find that too bad. I don't have the power bank to fit into it, and may have to wait a while, but will try and find something else to act as counterweight (though right now I don't feel I need it).

My main issue now is that with my narrow IPD, the lenses bash my nose. I suspect the narrow fit headset could fix that, but there's not really anything a strap could do about it.

Use the glasses spacer - slightly reduces FOV but other users have reported it gives you more room for your nose.

Nah, doesn't seem to help. I'll work something out. Tried briefly with some padding, but it must have been too thick, as it seems to have pushed the lenses apart.

Think about getting something from VRCovers? They do good stuff usually. Not sure their Quest 2 pads are out yet.

That was on my list of potential accessories to get. Basically my nose is just a tiny distance from the lenses, doesn't take much for them to knock, so I don't think even a better fit facial interface will make a huge difference, need to try some padding on the lenses I guess, but then also offset the possibility of the lenses being pushed out. I'll work it out.

If anyone has the narrow fit facial interface that they don't need, I'd be interested in giving it a go

The one in your opening post. Not the one further down the page.

Ah, stupid me, MVHStudios isn't a link, it's a heading.

chroniclard · 29 Oct 2020 at 18:59

As an alternative to the official link cable I bought this one.

Its still £25.99 so not exactly "cheap" but its decent quality and works well.

It is fairly hefty though, I do not know what the official cable is like, if you can velcro it and route round the back its fine.

got my MVH headmount and fitted - really easy to adjust and much more comfortable than the cloth strap - highly recommended

ssmacc · 2 Nov 2020 at 08:39

I've one of these, long enough to play while it charges, and charges faster than it drains...

Good to hear, everybody is giving the MVH head mount a positive review.

I am going to get the first strap that comes in stock between this and the Elite Strap.

Elite Strap is so much better then factory.

I ordered a 3d print of the support, should come in the next few days. that would likely flip things around due to cost.

That's playing quest 2 games, using it as a charging cable right? Rather than PCVR?
