Aukuoy Controller Grips Extension for Quest 3: Dual Handle Attachments for Quest 3 Controller Accessories, Controller Extension Grips for VR Games Gorilla Tag Long Arms, Golf Club, Beat Saber Handle
These controller grips are a fantastic addition to my VR setup. The extensions improve the feel and comfort of holding the controllers, especially for games like Gorilla Tag and Beat Saber. The grips are easy to attach and provide a more immersive experience. They’re well-made and enhance gameplay, making them a worthwhile investment for VR enthusiasts. Overall, they’re a great accessory for improving controller handling and comfort.
We have been using these for nearly 2 months now and noticed an immense improvement in gameplay. Not only can we hold these better than the small controllers but we noticed we didn’t get cramps holding them for too long. (Depending on who has arthritis and who has fat chunky fingers).
We read the instructions and not once has they come apart even after vigorous play. Also, notice even with the straps they haven’t gone flying across the room like they normally do when the grandson is
playing.
Feel nice to hold, easy to grip and comfy too.
Colour-coded left and right. Great price for a pair of controller extenders. Grandson said these are brilliant when playing gorilla tag and a few other games as it makes the reach longer and seems faster.
Perfec
Nice comfortable grips. Nice weight and feel good to hold. Colors dirty over time but easy to clean with wet wipes. Also keeps the actual controllers in pristine condition. Nice
I tested these with 2 games: Beatsaber and Kayak VR: Mirage. The controllers worked really well with both games.
In the kayak game, you connect both sticks together so that it behaves like a real double ended kayak paddle. It worked flawlessly and definitely increased the immersion.
For Beatsaber, these don’t give any kind of advantage, in fact I’d say they make the game slightly more difficult. What they do though is add a more realistic sword grip, and make the controllers feel quite a lot heavier (as the mass is further away from your hands). Set up was easy – you need to go into settings and adjust the controllers. You can give them 10cm of z offset to get them in about the right place. This was much easier than with some other controllers as the controllers are exactly in line with the sticks and just need to be offset.
The controllers attach very securely and I was not worried they would fly out.
The main downside with these sticks is the attachment method. You have to take the battery cover off, put in a piece of plastic, then screw the sticks onto that piece of plastic with a tiny Phillips head screw. Although this works well, it is really fiddly and takes a bit of time so you won’t want to switch back and forth between using the sticks and not using them very often. It also makes changing the batteries a real pain.
I give this item 4 stars because it works very well, but the fiddliness of the attachment mechanism makes them a bit impractical.
