Best Oculus Quest 2 VR Cover Accessories 2023

A complete comfort overhaul

VR Cover's latest facial interface replacement includes a total of four vents — that's two on top and two on bottom — to ensure that you'll never witness the horror of foggy lenses ever again. That's especially important for folks who use their Quest 2 for fitness applications or for long Beat Saber sessions where you'll be getting super sweaty. This one works with all VR Cover facial foams but pairing it with the Cool XG foam pad will give your face the most relief from heat.

Like an ice pack for your face

VR Cover sells several different kinds of foam pad replacements, but none are as soft or luxurious feeling as the Cool XG pads. That's because these are built with several layers of foam with an additional layer of cooling gel on top, all covered in the same great PU leather material as the rest of the crop on this page. That Cool XG foam feels great on a hot face and can help keep you feeling cooler for longer periods of time than a plain old foam pad will. This works with any VR Cover facial interface replacement, so you don't need to buy a new one if you've already got one.

Less expensive comfort

Since our review of the facial interface and foam pad replacement, VR Cover has further refined the product and even added a ton of new colors to the list of options. My personal favorite is the Winter Edition, which ships with a red facial interface connector and two white PU-leather pads for your face. These enhance comfort and provide a surface that can actually be cleaned and sanitized, unlike those foam pads that ship with the Quest 2. There's also a vent built into the facial interface connector to help your face breathe a bit better and prevent foggy lenses.

Wick the sweat off

VR Cover Silicone Covers will keep your Oculus Quest 2 foam in tip-top shape by keeping sweat from ever getting to it. These easy-to-apply covers fit right over your existing foam pads — or VR Cover's own PU-leather replacements — and provide a comforting, soft-powdered texture for your skin. I prefer the feeling of these over the PU-leather pads when playing something where I sweat a lot since the silicone build adds an extra layer of padding and helps keep the sweat from accumulating on your face. Be warned, though, you might want to combine these with an absorbant headband to help wick up the sweat while you play.

Protect your home

Ever just smack your controllers into each other or, heaven forbid, a breakable object in the room? While it probably won't prevent glass breakage completely, putting these silicone Halo Controller Protectors over the ring on your Oculus Quest 2 controllers provide ample padding. These don't interfere with tracking since there are proper cutouts for the tracking LEDs. You can think of them as similar to those Wii remote protectors everyone had not so long ago.

Let it go!

Most of these accessories are only built for comfort-enhancement, but these controller grips will directly enhance your ability to actually throw things in VR. For me, tossing grenades and other objects in VR was always a bit tricky since you still have to hold onto the controller while performing these actions. VR Cover's controller grips have a strap that wraps around the back of your hands, keeping the controllers firmly in your grip even when you let go. They also ship with a lovely piece of felt fabric that makes the straps ultra-soft against your skin, keeping them from irritating you over time.

Take it with you

The biggest difference between the Oculus Quest family and every other major VR headset is its portability, so why not get a case and keep your Oculus Quest 2 safe while transporting it to other places, all while saving a good $20 over the official case? This one is a hardshell case covered with fabric. The Oculus Quest 2 and its controllers fit perfectly in a form-fit molding, and there's even a little pouch where you can include extras like the best Quest 2 battery packs. There's even a nice little handle for keeping it in your possession without dropping it.

An elite-level cushion

The Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap is a fantastic accessory for the Quest 2, but it's lacking in one key area: There are no pads for the back of your head. This cushy pad feels excellent and really is the perfect addition to the best head strap currently sold by Oculus. It gets bonus points for being made of the same kind of PU leather as the facial interface replacement, which means it's not just cushy and wicks off sweat but it's super-easy to clean, too!

Throw it all away

It's a ton of fun to share the Quest 2 with friends and family, but sometimes people are just sweatier than others. If you've ever shared your Quest 2 with anyone, you know exactly what I mean. That's why these disposable hygiene covers are so nice. The super-soft cloth-like texture of these stick-on covers help absorb all that nasty sweat and make clean-up as easy as peeling them off and tossing them in the garbage (and then washing your hands profusely afterward). VR cover has designed these to stick on to their PU-leather facial replacement, though, so be sure to pick that up before buying a pack.

I need my space

If you're someone who needs to wear glasses while using the Oculus Quest 2, you might find that the spacer included with the Quest 2 is a little thin and doesn't allow for enough space inside to comfortably fit glasses. VR Cover's XL glasses spacer is the perfect solution for this. It's considerably deeper than the original pack-in spacer and helps provide ample space between your glasses and the VR lenses to keep them from getting scratched.

Preventing scratches

While you can easily replace a lot of parts on the Oculus Quest 2, there's one external piece that's not really meant to be user-replaceable: the lenses. If you're regularly carrying the Quest 2 around or don't have a closed storage system for it (like the carrying case above), you might want to consider getting this soft lens cover to keep them from getting scratched. it's a small investment that'll help keep your Quest 2's lenses in tip-top shape.
