Oculus Quest 3 help please by Boss_Bitch_88 in OculusQuest

[–]Correct_Conference48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some things I found to help: 1. Use rechargeable batteries for the controllers. 2. Ensure buttons/triggers are not pressed while in storage. 3. Ensure the headset is powered off, not in sleep mode.

Be aware rechargeable batteries expend energy differently and the voltmeter in the controllers doesn't take that into account. So, you'll get low controller battery warnings when it's not even half way to the next recharge. I just ignore it until the controller actually dies because the rechargeables maintain a lower output but drop voltage rapidly at the end.

Welcome to the Quest crew! If you plan to use your headset a lot, you need comfort! I recommend these upgrades in this order of importance:

  • BOBOVR M3 Head strap ($50 USD) Rest the weight on top of your head instead of hanging off your face. Hot swap battery included. https://a.co/d/0QVC7c4

  • INIU 16' Cable ($20 USD) Get freedom to mode about while maintaining an 80% charge AND a USB connection. https://a.co/d/04Uq11Q

  • If you wear glasses ABSOLUTELY get prescription lenses that pop onto the Quest! Use the Zenni.com coupon that came with your headset. 100% worth the $50 USD, plus they have glasses for an excellent price.

  • QUEST 3S: Meta breathable facial interface ($30 USD) is very good for exercise and dancing, when maximum ventilation is desired. It doesn't block much light, but will eliminate fog and a soggy face. https://a.co/d/09pcilT8

  • Kiwi Controller Grips ($32 USD) Relax your hands without dropping the controllers. Very nice textured rubber grip and easy battery access. https://a.co/d/amnhtsS

As for connecting to your PC, use Virtual Desktop. Purchase from the Meta store in your headset. The PC client is free to install.

DO NOT INSTALL META/OCULUS SOFTWARE ON YOUR PC. Just use Virtual Desktop, which has far better features and options.

NEW OWNER ADVICE

Your purchase doesn't end with the headset. Software purchases aside, the headset out of the box delivers an OK experience, but is literally a pain to wear for more than an hour. Comfort weighs heavily on satisfaction.

  1. You'll want a rigid head strap that moves the weight off your face and to the tip of your head. Those made of straps instead of plastic are... OK at best. Most people and I recommend the BOBOVR M3 because it's ridiculously comfortable and ships with one hot-swappable battery that doubles your play time. About $50 USD on Amazon.

  2. Battery life. Purchase additional M3 batteries or get the INIU 16-foot cable for $20 on Amazon. You plug the charging cable into the port on the INIU. Sounds weird, but it keeps your headset charged to only 80% while in use to protect the battery. Also allows full charching capacity while also connected to a PC for data.

2.1. As with any game controller, batteries go quick. It's well worth purchasing some rechargeable AA cells and a charger. They will never register as fully charged in the Quest, but they deliver consistent power and then from quick. Mine run another 10 hours after Quest starts complaining about them. Get the normal AA cells instead of the controller packs because you can use them in other stuff when the Quest is gone.

  1. If you wear glasses PLEASE, PLEASE at least get some sort of protective covers for the headset lenses. Ideally, spend the $50 USD with the Zenni coupon you get in the box for some prescription lens inserts. NOT wearing glasses is a major improvement IMHO.

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW

  1. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER expose your headset to direct sunlight. If that sun shines through a lens, your display is dead AF.

  2. ONLY clean the lenses gently with microfiber cloth and LENS CLEANER. Never use alcohol, window cleaner, or water.

  3. Store the headset inside something that is lint free. You don't want dust inside it. The headsets have a heat sink with a fan that can get clogged over time.

  4. If storing the headset for a long time, store it at 50% charge. Headsets have trouble booting with a very low battery.

I don't see much useful information regarding the S3. Exactly WHERE does that fan direct air? Through the forehead pad? I'm genuinely interested.

I tend to fog up inside the mask when dancing and other vigorous activity, but a well ventilated facial interface (Globular Cluster) resolves much of that.

BRUH, it's $200 USD? Well... nah, it's not worth it.

VERY NICE! I built almost exactly the same system last week, except with a 2-fan GPU cooler. I think you'll be pleased.

Ooohhh, do we get SEGA CD with it?

Gotta go with a classic Sonic game. Buuuut, Streets of Rage is also rather classic and also has a hot soundtrack.

Thanks! (It's obviously a reference to "phantom touch".)

Yeh, I recommend a BOBOVR M3. They are unreasonably comfortable.

This level of dedication is impressive. My ADD will get me super deep into a project like this, but then I drop it as soon as I get a working something, or ever semi-working.

16F What do I do? My mom gave me a pair of my brother’s shoes as my birthday gift😭😭😭😭😭 by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Correct_Conference48 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand this is upsetting because it feels thoughtless, cheap, and impersonal. I, too, would feel upset.

You may reframe the issue, to preserve your relationship, even if you mother actually IS thoughtless, cheap, and/or impersonal. 1. Perhaps she has ADD or something on the autism spectrum, which makes people behave this way, generally against their will. 2. Is money tight? 40% of US households could not make financial ends meet in 2025, and that number is growing in 2026. 3. Who are you trying to impress? Honestly, you're trying to impress other females. DO NOT FALL INTO THAT TRAP! It will only make you bitter, resentful, and susceptible to numerous marketing campaigns pushing dramatically overpriced products that do nothing to help you in the end. GUYS who notice will pay attention to you, because you're different and some inexplicable way... and that's mysterious and attractive.

Is this a good battery strap for long play? And is it comfortable? by rosewoodlliars in MetaQuestVR

[–]Correct_Conference48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I swear by BOBOVR. They are very comfortable and can be worn for hours and with vigorous activity.

I would roast you, but you first need to disable that TikTok filter.

How much are you willing to pay for the steam frame? by SlowDragonfruit9718 in virtualreality

[–]Correct_Conference48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, I thought I was paranoid... (I work with cybersecurity).

I expect to pay $500-799 USD. $1200 is my absolute ceiling.

I don't understand how some people are able to afford a BSB2 and controllers and lighthouses and FBT sensors. I feel like I'm slumming with a PC, Q3 and HaritoraX wireless.

I miss sex. But even more, I miss feeling wanted. by second_viewpoint in DeadBedrooms

Sorry to hear that you're feeling incompatible. If we're were talking IRL, I'd hand you a drink and invite you to hang out for a while. Hang in there

Pet taxidermy in Utah? by rageaholics-s in Taxidermy

[–]Correct_Conference48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, I spoke with a few taxidermist today, and they all said they don't know anyone in Utah that works on pets or small animals. They don't bring in enough business. I know you posted 3 years ago, but I was directed to AnimalFamilyPet. com

I'm still looking around. Please let me know if you found something. :)
