Secure Your Controllers, But at a Price

Alrighty, so here's the deal with the Meta Quest 3 active straps for the controllers. I've been putting them through their paces, and I've got some thoughts to share.
First off, let's talk about the good stuff. These straps are pretty darn good at keeping your controllers right where you want them - firmly attached to your hands. When you're in the middle of an epic VR adventure, the last thing you want is for your controller to go flying across the room. The Meta Quest 3 straps make sure that doesn't happen.
But, there are a couple of things that might bug you after a while. The material can start to feel a bit itchy on your skin, especially if you're prone to sweating during intense gaming sessions. It's not a huge issue, but it's definitely noticeable.
Another thing is that the straps can sometimes feel like they're digging into your hands a bit. It's not super painful or anything, but you might find yourself adjusting them from time to time to get a more comfortable grip.
Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room - the price. I gotta say, these straps are a bit on the pricey side for what they are. I mean, they're just straps, right? It's not like they're some kind of high-tech gadget. So, if you're on a tight budget, you might want to think twice before shelling out the cash for these.
At the end of the day, the Meta Quest 3 active straps get the job done. They keep your controllers where they need to be, even if they're not the most comfortable thing in the world. If you're willing to spend a little extra for that added security, go for it. But if you're looking for a bargain, you might want to explore some other options.

perfect for quest 3 working out, the standard quest 3 "strings" that come with the controllers stock are a waste of time. they hurt and are none functional for protection. these fit perfect, stay on and are very comfortable for long play times.

These straps help hold the controllers better than the original ones. They are very comfortable and study and they don't fall off.
The original ones are flimsy and uncomfortable and don't stay on correctly. They kept falling off my hand when I was in the middle of an active game which throws off you concentration. It is something so small but it can make the differene when you are playing an active game.
For some reason it was a little bit difficult to attach it to the controllers but once it is on it will stay on forever.

Great purchase! They looked uncomfortable when I bought them but turned out to be really comfortable and the "Velcro" on them surprised me. They're also easy to install but chose 4 stars due to their price

Its not worth the price being asked but i like going official with everything so i opted with this. If youre not like that, there are so many great alternatives out there. This is a great product if you have the dock as well as it doesnt gst in the way

Solid straps. Replaced some cheaper ones that were purchased online but those didn't last long. These are a great, well thought out product.

The Quest Active Straps might look like a small accessory, but they make a big difference in comfort and control. I use them with my Meta Quest 3 Touch Plus controllers, and they keep everything secure without needing a death grip during intense gameplay.
The adjustable fit is quick and easy, and the material feels soft yet durable — no slipping, no rubbing, and no worrying about flinging a controller mid-swing. Perfect for rhythm games, VR fitness, or anything that gets your arms moving.
I also like that they’re low-profile and match the headset’s design — they don’t add bulk, and they still fit neatly in my carrying case. For the price, this is an easy quality-of-life upgrade that every Quest 3 or 3S owner should consider.

They’re easy to install. And fit pretty snug and comfy. Also better then an alternative I had where the Velcro would pool through and be itchy.

This follows Meta’s trend of having accessories that should have just been standard to the device. They are good, and make it easier to play games that have you throwing or swinging your arms without worry that the controller is going to launch into the distance. But for what it is the price is just too high. 3rd party options are cheaper, but these are comfortable and do the job.

Great straps. I let my son play with my quest and once he felt these he instantly wanted a pair. No longer have to worry about strapping up your hands every time. Just pick up and play!

I use my quest for a lot of active games like Supernatural, pistol whip, star wars dojo, etc. I’d bought similar 3rd party straps for my Q1 that made a huge difference for my gaming experience, but it made changing batteries a pain. Meta designed the q3 controllers with these straps in mind and they integrate in seamlessly. Changing batteries is a snap and installation is easy. Comfortable and well made, I consider them an essential upgrade to a quest 3 purchase.

The straps do their job well. The controller feels like it's stuck to the palm of your hand. And the adjustable Velcro strap makes it easy to accommodate anyone who uses it after you. I will say to be cautious of your surroundings though. The wall smacks are gnarly.

They work well and I mainly got them instead of the many cheaper other options that will be out there because they will work with the docking station and because I needed grips asap. They make all the difference in comfort while playing. Only reason they're not 5 stars is that they're overpriced for what they are.
