   I want to give this a 5, I really do. But there’s just 1 thing it needs…a loop guard. If you have a quest, you NEED something that keeps your controllers in your hand so you don’t keep dropping them by accident. There are a bund of games where it appears that your hands need to be spread open. Without any sort of attachment, you might get so Immersed and accidentally drop the controller. These grips provide a consistent tether to your hands and controllers while providing a comfortable holding position for the rest of your palm.Pros:- great grip and great protection for lower half of controller- keeps controllers in your hand, even when you let it go- comfortable to holds, feels more natural than stock controller- easy set up, watch the video once and you’ll be able to set it up quickly- easy set up allows easy battery replacement!!! That was a huge thing I wanted to look for when buying one of these. You can take the grip off, put in new batteries, and put the grip on in about 2 minutes total. Nice and easy design!Con:- the ONLY thing wrong is that it needs to have a loop guard for the controller! I understand you can buy those separately from a different manufacturer, but why not include it in this deal? It’s already a “controller guard” why not guard the entire controller? I say this because numerous times, I’ve accidentally hit the wall with the controller loop by going outside the boundary. If you have a headset and not a “ton” of room, this will happen to you too. Also, anyone inexperienced could accidentally smack the controllers together on the loop. Within a month of using the Quest 2, my wife hit the controller so hard against the other one that it left a permanent mark on it.My possible solution to this problem is including a peelable adhesive with some sort of cushion on the other side that you would wrap around the loop of the controller. The price might go up a dollar or 2, but to have the controller fully protected, I’d definitely say it’s worth it.Overall, these are GREAT hand grips. If you are getting these, I’d advise you to look into getting the controller loop protected from somewhere else as well.

   People knocking the product for strap slip during usage have been addressed. The updated elastic straps now have rubber stripes across them where they slide through the spring “lock” on the bottom of the controller, which helps some, but they will still slip unless you use the additional pair of spring locks that are now included, as described in the updated instructions. With dual spring locks on each strap, they do not slip at all now…at least not before I felt I was going to rip the strap. With a single spring lock they do slip a little if you tug enough.Otherwise this is the best grip design currently on the market IMO. I have tried several, was previously using the Kiwi straps, but they all jam my long-ish fingers/thumb up onto the frustratingly short controller so that it’s difficult to use my thumb to move the thumbsticks.These grips add a bit of extension to the bottom, although I would really appreciate even more of an extended grip, because these still push my thumb up a bit more than I’d like. Better than any other strap setup so far though. I may try inserting a bit of a spacer between the grip and handle so that they are forced down but should still stay on due to the velcro strap wrapped around the ring up top.I would also like to see the tab with all of the slots for the straps located further back toward the wrist. As it is, it still tries to lay the strap down my knuckles, which is of course the high point of a closed hand, so then it drops off of the front of the knuckles toward my finger tips, and I have to force it back over the knuckles to lay across the back of my hand like I feel it should.One suggestion for locating the straps: I would argue that the directions indicating which holes to use based on hand size are reversed. If you have larger hands/longer fingers/thumbs, then you will need the strap located in the lower hole to position the controller further up in your grip, and keep your thumb from hanging over the top of the joysticks. Likewise, if you have smaller hands/shorter fingers/thumbs, you will want to use the upper hole to keep the controller further down in your hand, allowing your thumb to reach the joystick without stretching.On a final note, to the one negative reviewer complaining of things like the controller potentially flying out of his hand, you are either not capable of following instructions, or an obvious shill for a competing product. If the velcro strap is installed correctly, there is no physical way for the controller to slide out of the grips.

   These are without question the best grips for the updated Oculus controllers I have tried, and I’ve tried several.I will start with my one complaint, as it’s the only one I have, then I’ll get to why these are the standout choice for me.That complaint is battery replacement. Because these grips slide over the battery cover, they have to be removed to replace the controller battery. We all know how short the Touch controller’s battery life is, so you can see why this might be a little tedious. But the real inconvenience is the velcro fastening at the top of the grip. One of the reasons these grips work better than most is that they anchor on the tracking ring of the controller in a very solid way. But with that anchor in place, they can’t be removed. So there’s a frequent dance of unstrapping the velcro, sliding the cover off swapping batteries, sliding cover on, and replacing the velcro.I realize this was a very challenging problem to solve for the designers, and they ABSOLUTELY have done the best job of any I’ve encountered. But a future update might swap the velcro for something like a clip that snaps around the tracking ring and can be released with a bit of effort.An alternative might be an ultra-premium model with built-in rechageable cells (potentially with larger capacity due to the grip size) that replaces the battery and cover entirely. It could include either USB C ports or use a charge dock (though USB would theoretically allow use while charging).That aside, I love these grips and continue using them because THEY WORK, unlike the rest I’ve tried.They work better because:That top-ring anchor system that makes swapping batteries tedious also means this grip is much more solid and consistent in fit than others. IT also allows the grip itself to anchor to the controller solidly in a separate way from the strap. That leaves room for the upper strap anchor to be adjustable, which means a better fit for more hand sizes.I’m probably a worst-case scenario for these grip solutions, as I have small hands with long fingers. With all the others I’ve tried, I end up with either a loose strap that doesn’t do any good, or a strap that holds my hands in a position where my fingertips are now placed far past the triggers, leading to an uncomfortable claw grip just to keep the controllers fitting snugly.But with these grips, I can use the lower grip position for a tight fit, and it still falls either right in front of or behind my knuckles, both of which put my fingertips right on the triggers. The fit is also MUCH more snug but also more comfortable as a result, and they’re very easy to adjust while playing–though I don’t often need to adjust them.These grips are also very nice in that the straps lie flat against the controller when not in use, so you can quickly pick up a controller and start using it without even using the strap, and then easily swap to using the strap if needed. I like this versatility a lot, as my VR usage ranges from very relaxed or controllerless games (Elite, flight sims) to intense grip-based games like BoneWorks or Half Life Alyx.And lastly: the slight thickness and scultping to these grips adds quite a bit of comfort to the controllers. This may vary with hand size, but even the small indents for the bottom two fingers are very noticeable, and the grip texture really does prevent sweaty-palm grossness.If you want a “knuckles” style grip for your Touch controllers, this is the one to go with. It’s far better finished and polished in its design, and it offers far more adjustability for more use cases than the competition.

   Decent grips for people with smaller hands. Have to completely remove the grip to change batteries which is annoying.

   First things first, I bought these AMVR Grips to use with the Oculus Quest 2. I have spent the past week using them, and have to say I am happy with my purchase. While playing games on the Quest 2, especially those where you have to throw something (EchoVR), I found myself gripping the controllers too hard and sliding the battery cover out. This happened many times within the first week of having the Quest 2, and I was getting tired of it. I finally stumbled across these AMVR Grips, and they have been great. In this review, I will talk about the design (specifically for Oculus Quest 2), how they have been working for me, and my recommendations.First, the design. In the pictures, these grips look like a soft, grippy, silicone-like substance. I probably should have read some more reviews or looked more into the grips, as they are actually a harder plastic. But, that is definitely not a bad thing. I cannot see these breaking any time soon, and it also gives me greater peace-of-mind because I feel like they will better protect my Touch Controllers. I also did not really care about the knuckle straps when buying the grips, but, I have to say, that is my favorite part of these grips. They are comfortable, they look stylish, and they keep the controllers firmly in your hand. I do not use the regular straps anymore because I highly trust the knuckle straps. For those wondering, there is a hole in the bottom of the grip to put the wrist straps through, so you do not have to remove them.There are two negative aspects of the design, however, one of which is specifically because I am using them with the Quest 2. First, the top part of the knuckle strap (along the ring) is right next to my joycons, causing my thumb to brush against it whenever I move the joycon. No, this is not a big deal at all, but it is just there and I wanted to point it out. Next, this part is specifically for the QUEST 2 – While these grips fit, they do not fit perfectly. It was a little bit of a hassle trying to put these grips on because they seem just a bit too small. I understand this completely – I do not believe these grips were made specifically for the Quest 2 in mind. They do, however, fit just enough. As others have said, the bottom of the grip does not make contact with the bottom of the controller, but, in all reality, that does not matter too much. I am dreading having to take these off to change the batteries.As I have previously said, I really enjoy these grips. They feel great playing FPS games, such as Onward and Population: One, and I do not feel like my gameplay is any different from before. When playing games like EchoVR, I do not worry anymore about sliding the battery cover off every time I throw the frisbee. The knuckle straps are comfortable, and I know that the controllers will not come flying out of my hands. Even though the grips are made of a hard plastic, they are comfortable enough to hold. The actual grippy part on the sides are also nice, and they do help wick away sweat.Finally, I would recommend purchasing these grips. They are not too difficult to install, look great, and perform just as advertised. Even though the two design issues I stated earlier are annoyances, they should not deter you from buying these. I am giving these grips 4/5 stars because of the design issues. Even though they are marketed for the Oculus Quest 2, they do not fit perfectly, but fit just enough.

    I am 6’3″I have large hands.I bought 3 grips. Kiwi was long and and big. Unfortunately i could barely reach the top button (B and Y). I tried to hold the controller higher but the grip’s strap was digging into my hand on the top not allowing me to hold higher comfortable.Kuject was the opposite. The strap was good on the top but the bottom is too high and made me hold the controller too high. It was uncomfortable to press A and X buttons.Amvr was just perfect. I can reach everything the same way like it had no grip on the controller. I like how the others wrapped around the whole controller. So not 5 stars but very good.Yes..it does work with Oculus 2 without any issue. The elastic strap does fray almost imnmediatelly you get it. You need to torch / burn the ends before you even install it. After I did that I had no issue installing the straps. No fraying. Their video also show you need to do this.

    Been using these for several years, so worth it. You don’t have to worry about dropping the controllers. You can trap the squeeze button on the Rift controller if you pull them up to high but if they’re pulled on tight they don’t move easily enough to do it during play.

    This a great grip for my Rift S controller, except that sometimes the cover will slide over top the thumb grip and hold it down. That cost it one star. Other wise they are very adjustable and comfortable to use.

    SpaceGhost – January 7, 2022

    I bought these hoping they might fit my Reverb G2 controllers, since currently the only grips natively built for the G2 are made in Sweden and take weeks to ship to the US. I’m happy to say I’ve made them work quite well, but it required some different Velcro, which you can buy here on Amazon or possibly at your local office supply store.These grips come with some 5” velcro straps that are used to attach the top of the grip to the halo of the controller, which firmly secures the grip at the top, thereby allowing the elastic bands to become tight to your hand. These straps would work great for the Oculus touch controllers, but on the G2 controllers, the halo is much farther from the top of the grip, which means the included velcro straps aren’t long enough to attach securely.The solution is to buy some longer velcro straps, which they have here on Amazon. These are 8” long and the same 1/4” width as the included straps, so they fit perfectly into the existing molded slot on the grip. The item number of the strips here on Amazon is B0057563UO but they can be found by searching for ‘1/4” x 8” Velcro straps’ if the items number changes or if you want to find them elsewhere.Once you have the longer straps, simply install the grips as described in the instruction from AMVR and they will work as intended. I’ve found them to be decent grips. I like the rubberized elastic knuckles, although I’m curious how long the somewhat flimsy elastic will last. They do give you an extra set of elastic bands, though, so I’d imagine I’ll get my money’s worth.Anyway, it’s an easy modification for good results. The new velcro costs $10 for 25 straps, but having some small Velcro cable straps around is always handy if you’re an electronics enthusiast. The only native Reverb G2 controller grip option at the time of writing this are the Mamut Grip 3, which look great, but are sold from a small store in Sweden and take $10 and 2-4 weeks to ship to the US.
