I think a good accessory to have for the Quest is a magnetic charger that can detach so if you are playing VR while charging the cord while just pop out preventing damage.
@Magic Myco You're correct, it could and usually does break immersion. I won't see it being useful for most VR games where you grip, swing, fire and touch a lot of objects. However it's a strong feature for interfacing and simple 'non-gaming' tasks. But most importantly, hand tracking opens up the VR platform for the enterprise market and people with disabilities. So I believe it's potential can be worth developing and perfecting.
The upgrades I made to my Quest that I highly recommend: 1: DAS (Vive Deluxe Audio Strap) otherwise known as FrankenQuest. The BEST comfort upgrade 2: AMVR face cover (comes with 2 thickness sizes and a very excellent nose piece to block light leakage) 3: VRCover head support for the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap (makes the back of the strap even more cushy) 4: KIWI Hand straps for the controllers 5: Power bank for 3 to 4x extra play time. I use the EasyAcc power bank that shows the charge percentage 6: Generic camera hard case with pull and pluck foam (£30 on eBay) so you can create your own custom case.
uhh... everything! Edit:omg im now adicted to your vids! you deserve some support. here, have a positive SUBSCRIBER!!! MERRY Questmas to all the people who are watching on christmas!
another that i would say is an absolute must have is a lens adapter either for prescription lenses or just protection of the main lenses as they scratch surprisingly easy
Dill Zilla Do you have galsses? If so do you need them to see when playing vr. I have glasses but contrary to real life i dont seem to need them in vr.
@@Little_Miss_Carrex I will say that I can see a lot better in VR than I can normally but I do definitely still need either my glasses or the adapter. With that being said I can barely make out what anything is without them so my case is probably a bit more extreme than most. I also can't get any sense of depth without them as well due to one eye being substantially worse than the other. So when grabbing objects, this is not an exaggeration, I wouldn't be able to tell you if it's 5 foot away or 20. foot away.
@Magic Myco Yeah I dislike it, but there simply is no other Standalone VR hmd on the market right now with the support that Oculus offers. As well as that i'm wanting to develop/experiment for it and use it as a consumer product too.
@@BMFVR Loving your video's dude. Could you perhaps give an estimate of which we can expect the video? I'm expecting my Quest around Christmas, but the struggle of diving into all the accesory options is all too real. It's a real pity that Oculus hasn't acted on more comfort and modding options for the Quest.
What about replacing the stock strap with the Vive deluxe audio strap? You may need to put a little work to make this happen (Either with velcro or some 3D printed adapters), but many people online have recommended others to buy this DIY upgrade as it improves comfort, audio, and balances out the weight distribution of the headset.
Yeah a lot of people have done it, I haven't yet as I don't have the immediate need for it. That and the fact that it is incredibly hard to find now that Vive has discontinued it and the prices online are getting higher and higher.
I only just noticed, the battery compartment covers on my new Quest controllers are magnetic, were they always like this, or is this a subtle design tweak?
Doesn't take a lot of effort to end up pushing $300 on Quest accessories. My advice would be Knuckle Straps, VR Cover, a power bank for extra juice and a counterweight, an AMVR head strap pad, top strap to make it more comfortable. That can all be had for around $100.
Could you review the GoQuest halo strap? I've been trying to find an honest review of the GoQuest Halo strap with speakers ($58.00 USD). I'm really curious about the speaker quality and comfort of the Strap. also the installation of the strap.
I watched this last year near christmas I really wanted a quest then I thought it was a phone vr headset and now that I have one I have to say it’s amazing
I love the AMVR grips. I still need to figure out how to nest the controllers together with the grips on to fit into the Oculus Quest case (without removing the grips). I see in the video it is possible.
If you're trying to get those hand grips with back straps and want to save some money, I just rubber banded the stock straps to about right over the home buttons on the controller and it personally feels more comfortable than the $20 grips my brother bought for hai quest
Just a comment on the TENAVOLTS as the recommended Rechargeable Battery (sorry for the essay). P.S. Love the channel! I know they are Li-Ion AA batteries, and good. But I'm not too sure if they are better than the Eneloop PRO's or the IKEA Ladda (if you are being price conscience). The Tenavolts are amazing for their purpose. But for high drain devices like the Quest controllers, the capacity of them are just not high enough. They are marketed as 2775 mWh, which is deceiving to label them as mWh (instead of the standard mAh of other batteries). 2775 mWh is actually around ~1800mAh @1.5V, but lots of others report much less capacity for the Tenavolts. The Eneloop PRO's and IKEA Ladda's are both around ~2500mAh, and designed for high-drain devices. Namely they will require less swapping out of the AA's, and still have a high cycle rate (~500 times). Compared to 1000 for the Tenavolts. Even the normal Eneloops (~2000mAh @ 2100 cycles) are a better deal vs the Tenavolts. The discharge rate is amazing for the Eneloops as well (about 15% over a year for the pros, and 3% a year for the normal). But doesn't really matter for the quest controllers, since they are very high drain devices, and need recharging after about a week. Which is what the PROs were designed for. The Tenavolts don't really give you anything over the Eneloops I think, except for a fast recharge rate (which doesn't matter since most are charging a set while using a set). However the Eneloop does have a Quick Charger which will charge in around the same time as the Tenavolts. I would recommend the Eneloop PRO's as the choice rechargeable battery. And if you think they are too expensive, then the IKEA Ladda's which are great at just slightly less performance, but a fraction of the price.
Must have: Deluxe audio strap or comfort padding for back (I think AMVR) makes it and AMVR custom face interface + pad. Couldnt recommend the Quest without those comfort mods.
Does it matter if you plug in headphones that have one cord to plug into one jack? Like does it only give you the audio for that ear? I’m assuming it gives you full audio with only one side plugged in, but not being a Quest owner myself, was just curious.
BMF i need your help!! 🚨... i got 2 questions since i just reordered my quest on Amazon since its back in stock and its coming tomorrow. Does the Oculus Quest have a built in mic that you use for multiplayer games? And my other question is if i buy the Anker Core battery, does it come with a long cord so i can put it in my pocket or do i have to buy one and if so can you send me a link? Please respond ASAP if you can thanks BMF.
Yes the Quest has a built in Mic. As far as the Anker battery the cable it comes with is a micro USB so you will need a cable. I'm not in front of my PC right now but I'll try to grab a link later and post it.
I almost ordered one like your recommended. But when I got the ones that came with the AMVR Grips and facial interface, I just stuck with those. No extra cost to me.
Would you be willing to try a combo setup??? Would you please try setting up a VR N CHILL with qiwi vented mask??? If you could review that so I can decide if that combo is worth it? Thanks!!!
Yess, I have been looking for a good channel to post something like this because I am trying to get the quest for Christmas and I think accessories are nice on the Quest!!!
there is also another that i would say is an absolute must have is a lens adapter either for prescription lenses or just protection of the main lenses. this gets rid of the concern of possibly scratching the lenses during use and is actually something i really wish i got before i used my quest after discovering how easily the lenses scratch with glasses. there is a paste called "polywatch polish" that gets rid of the scratches but at the cost of degrading the quality of them with every use.
@@scoonie6186 here are the links to 3 different options: vr-lens-lab.com vroptician.com/ widmovr.com/ The prices varies for each of them depending on the prescription. None of them actually require you to put a prescription in though.
Should I get the oculus quest or rift S. And also with the oculus link can I put a game onto the quest then go into a bigger room and play or do you have to stay with your pc?
The Nintendo Wii had a charger stand that had a rechargeable battery. You just set your controllers on the stand. Do you think the quest will get an accessory like that?
Any face masks for the quest? Something thats easier on your face verses what comes default? After wearing my headset for 30+ mins I feel like my face is going to fall off. Thanks in advance :)
I have been a bit out of the loop recently but I am still curious, did you ever get rid of that second quest you had a couple months back? This is the first of your content I have seen in a while, sorry
BMF I know I’m not OP but great, I was scared I had to buy an expensive headset for games like recroom and vrchat. Can you recommend other multiplayer games?
I highly recommend the FrankenQuest mod! Vive Deluxe Audio Strap. I've had my quest since launch and never even heard of it until last month. It is worth it!
@@dillzilla4454 Yeah what about that? I checked it out, but the seller's website seems shady and the consumer support worries me as I've read user cases on Reddit. The products do seem very promising for the price.
@@anroidanicver6783 I did purchase their strap 2 months ago and haven't never received it due to them taking what I found to be an absurd amount of time redesigning it. They did offer me a refund though and have recently emailed me saying that the improved design is ready to sell. I have also bought a link cable, face pad, and case from them and all of those turned out to be pretty good. Because of that, I'm planning on just getting their strap and waiting it out.
i would recommend getting a lens adapter for it. they are normally used for not having to use glasses but you can get them without the prescription. this essentially guarantees that if you ever get a scratch it would be a $40 set of lenses being damaged and not the headset itself. as for headphones i use a set of bose QC 35s with a wireless adapter plugged into the headset's audio jack for bluetooth. you can bluetooth them directly to the headset but it breaks most games when you do.
