HOME OF VIRTUAL REALITY
Meet the new craze in controller accessories for the Oculus. Get your hands on the AMVR Dual Handle Controllers and experience Beat Saber at a whole new level. The AMVR handle extends the touch controller handle grip of the Oculus Quest or Rift S, so you can experience Beat Saber like never before. Feel a new level of fun and control holding a light bar in the cut box.
The AMVR handle stabilises the touch controller handle. It simply plugs around the lower part of the controller handle and is tightened and secured using a simple twist of the knob at the base of the handle. The handles also have a tether cord that can be looped around your wrists.
The handle stabilisers are tightly coupled to the controller handles with a silicone cup. This protects the Quest/Rift S touch controller from scratches and prevents any loosening.
The handle is soft and comfortable and utilises sweat-absorbing materials.
The AMVR handle is a must-have accessory for Beat Saber, but not so much for anything else, such as frying eggs or tossing pancakes… It feels way better and more comfortable than holding the basic Oculus Touch controllers and gives you more flexibility for moving your hands. The handles add to the immersion making the controllers feel more like actual sabers. In fact, they’re that good, my gameplay has significantly improved since getting them.
A small drawback is that they can be a bit of a challenge to take off, but I guess they need to be secure otherwise they'd fall off. Maybe it’s because I overtighten the grip.
Admittedly these do add additional weight to the controllers, but this really helps with the workout.
Overall the handles do take a little time to get used to. As a personal preference, like me, you may want to reset your position in the game, by taking a step backwards. It wasn’t long (about 10 minutes) before I was slicing through blocks like a master Jedi. These handles make Beat Saber on the Quest so much more fun, especially for the price.

Other accessories to consider
ACCESSORY INDEXMeta Quest 2 BOBOVR M2 Pro Head Strap
After dealing with the costly official Elite strap, I can confidently say that the M2 Pro Strap by BOBOVR has proven to be an outstanding substitute. It truly stands out in terms of comfort, support, and battery longevity. If you're on the hunt for a fresh head strap, I wholeheartedly endorse this one.
Protective face cover
If you love your Quest, you may want to protect it with a protective silicone cover from Eyglo. VR headsets aren't as robust as you’d think, yes, you may have dropped it a few times and it still works, so why bother I hear you say. Well, it’s only a matter of time before the last drop is enough and your headset stops working altogether! However, there is a simple affordable solution.
Disposable VR Face Covers
Hygiene is more important than ever now, especially with the recent outbreak of the coronavirus. If you’re going to share a headset with someone it’s a good idea to protect yourself and others from picking up germs from the sweat secreted by others. The cheapest and probably most sensible way to do this is by using disposable face covers.
VR Headset Stand - Universal
If you have the space and like to keep everything neat, tidy and in the right place, a VR headstand is a good idea. The AMVR VR headset stand is an excellent choice and compatible with the Oculus Quest, Quest 2 and the Rift S virtual reality headsets.
Controller straps for Oculus
I must say, KIWI makes some fantastic intuitive products for VR. KIWI also sell knuckle straps that are compatible with the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift S Touch Controllers. They have a fully adjustable Nylon fixing strap, that is tailor made to fit the controller and wrap securely around your hand. The straps allow you to release your hands from the controllers, but keep them in place, offering greater immersion while in VR. They also provide better protection for your controllers.
