Oculus Touch controllers come equipped with wrist straps to keep them in place, but you still have to keep an uncomfortably tight grip while playing. Using hand or knuckle straps will help keep your controllers secure in your hands, even when you completely loosen your grip. We've researched the best Oculus Quest 2 hand straps — plus a few straps for the original Quest model's differently-shaped Touch controllers — to make longer periods in VR easier on your hands and wrists.

These hand straps are designed with the third-generation Oculus Touch controllers that ship with the Oculus Quest 2 in mind. If you're still rocking the original Quest, we've got you covered in the second section towards the bottom of the article!
Best for comfort
VR Cover's grips, designed specifically for the latest Touch Controllers, have felt fabric straps that wrap around the back of your hand or knuckles. Plus, they have a plastic non-slip grip that won't bend in your fingers like a silicone grip. We tested and loved these grips, especially the strap that softly hugs your hands.
Easy battery swapping
KIWI upgraded its original design with a clever battery compartment built right into the grip. Changing the batteries is as simple as opening the door, replacing the battery, and closing it again. Everything else is the same as the original, including the sweat-resistant soft silicone grip and the more rigid faux leather straps.
Bang for your buck
CNBEYOUNG's controller grip does the job well. Like many others on this list, it'll help keep the Quest 2's Touch Controllers comfortably in your hand. Its additional amenities and low price set it apart from the rest, though. This controller grip ships with protection for your Quest 2's lenses and still retails for less than others on this list.
Seeing red, black, and blue
If you're looking for an option with a bit more color, BOOLACYA makes a soft answer that also protects those halo rings on each controller. These cushy silicone grips significantly enhance comfort thanks to their soft finish. They even have a strap to keep the controller on your hands when you throw something in VR.
Change it up
NexiGo uses hard TPU grips similar to VR Cover's grips, but the difference is mostly in the strap's size; that strap is larger and wider than VR Cover's and can be attached to the grips or the controller halo ring up top. That helps make these grips a better fit for a wider range of hand sizes.
Perfect for Beat Saber Fans
Rebuff Reality's controller covers might be legally distinct enough from Beat Saber that they'll avoid any lawsuits, but they're still a fun get for any avid Beat Saber fan. Their included knuckle straps and grip-friendly texture make swinging your sabers to the beat all the more enjoyable.
Compatible with the original Oculus Quest
Meta halted production on the Oculus Quest over a year ago at this point, so accessories for the original headset can be hard to come by. Thankfully, we've found some really solid options for anyone still using original Quest hardware that's looking to improve their play experience.
Extra straps and accessories
This AMVR bundle gives you two sets of adjustable, elastic grip bands configurable to your hand size and fixed with velcro, so they won't budge during even the most intense. Those straps are attached to TPU plastic grips, which easily slip on and off when you need to swap out the controller battery.
Just the straps
If you love the feel of the Oculus Quest controllers and just want a pair of wrist straps (without the extra controller grips), KIWI Design sells straps that fit around the controller and don't add any extra bulk. These are the same adjustable velcro straps found in the newer version. Since they don't have the extra grip piece, they're also relatively cheap.
Choose your grip wisely
We scoured the internet for the best Oculus Quest 2 and original Oculus Quest hand straps and grips to ensure we picked only the best. If you're unsure where to start, VR Cover's accessories are always reliably high quality, but its Quest 2 controller grips are a standout product, even among an offering of other stellar accessories. We've tested these straps thoroughly and found them both safe and comfortable. We also recommend investing in a halo controller protector if you're concerned about smacking or dropping your controllers.
Once you've chosen the best Quest 2 hand straps for you, you'll be able to get more immersed in Quest 2's library of games and experiences!
