@SimonRigga you could always print your own or get some printed for you. Not sure if the plastic plugs are the same on the Q3 as the Q2.

Oculus Quest 2 kit analog pin strap (easy print)

For those of you who are tired of breaking analogues, bracelets with pins and strap adjusters. The quality of products nowadays is questionable and we often think that this ends up keeping us all up at night. high consumption every day because objects today simply break for nothing. We decided...

I still have my Quest 2 straps, but they do NOT fit..

Ravenger · 17 Oct 2024 at 19:55

Don't use my straps either - I have index style grips

drakulton · 17 Oct 2024 at 20:55

I don't use my straps either, I just grip my hand controllers.

I'm considering purchasing this, for Golf+ and Kayak VR.. which looks like it needs the wrist straps to secure the controllers to the sticks.

hence why I want the strap. I don't use them normally either..

It was our Son who reminded us why using straps can be helpful...

Ravenger · 18 Oct 2024 at 10:59

Almost had a similar event once when my brother in law played on my Wii and threw the controller so hard it broke the strap, narrowly missed the TV and hit the wall, breaking the battery compartment lid.

So, as a stop gap.
I have removed the foam pad from the stock Quest 3 facial interface, covered the plastic in some velcro and stuck one of my AMVR face pads to it.

It works, its a bit janky as the velcro I had isn't the same size as the stuff on the back of the interface, but it'll do.
I've just had a quick go and there's a smidge of leak one one side, but I need to adjust the interface to get the pad position right but its a win for now..

Only issue is there's no nose blocker on the stock interface, and if I try to use the one from the AMVR interface the bottom tabs don't clip in place, I might see if I can mod the nose rubber from AMVR a bit, physically, but for now I'm happy with where I'm at with it.

If I were to be running it long term, I'd get some better velcro and trim it in better, but as a short term while I find a replacement for the AMVR, it'll do, especially as I now have full range of motion on the flipupability of the headset.

Bought a new right angled usb cable today for connecting my Q3 to my pc, my current Anker cable (not right angled) lasted 11 months. I've also seen I've snapped off 1 side of the little pin shaped thing that the top strap feeds through on the headset, it's not part of the interface so can't replace afaik unfortunately, going to try glueing it, the top strap isn't secured now but (I think) doesn't affect me much because I have a halo type headstrap.

Some superglue, using a flexible tip extension, should help with that repair.

Good luck

I bought various right angled USB-C connectors to help with cable attachments. They do work well.

Didn't know such tips existed for superglue, just ordered 1, cheers.

So what's the go to for a strap which is more comfortable, but doesn't add to the bulk too much?
Saw a Kiwi one that looked interesting:

Does this kind of design put a lot of tension on the over-the-head strap?

maybe a silicone cover with integral nose light blocker fitted over the AMVR cushion will work.

If you don't mind doing a little unmantling, the pin bracket can be removed and replaced, or remove the bracket, nip off any remaining pin, drill through the sides of the pin bracket and fit a steel pin in its place.
