VR Cover Controller Grips for Oculus Quest 2

Staff Pick

Designed specifically for the new Touch controllers, these VR Cover grips have felt fabric straps that wrap around the back of your hand or knuckles, plus 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 and allows you to let go worry-free during gameplay. They’re also fully washable, so they won’t end up sweat-stained and gross over time.

Smooth, 3D-printed grip

NinjaGrip OQ2 Touch Controller Grips

Before retailers sold hand straps, VR fans with 3D printing skills found their own solution. Made of NinjaFlex filament, these NinjaGrips offer over 20 different color options, a comfortably smooth grip without any rough ridges, and straps with extra fabric padding. These look less “professional” than the other options, and may take several weeks to ship, but also offer better finger comfort and easy installation. You’ll find links for the Quest 1 and Quest 2 variants below.

Seamless grips

KIWI design Silicone Grip Cover for Oculus Quest 2

Most straps fasten with tiny loops to the tracking halo, which can look a bit tacky or slide around. This Kiwi silicone grip cover uses ear buckles that keep it fastened securely to the back of the halo, making it look more natural than other mods. The hole at the bottom allows you to keep the original Touch hand straps. The leather knuckle strap isn’t as soft or padded as other options, and seems to let the rivet rest against your hand, but should easily fit any hand size.

Handstitched padding

Mamut Grips³

Made specifically for the new Quest 2 Touch controllers, the third-edition Mamut Grips has a very comfortable plastic TPU grip with built-in hand-stitched padding, making it more pleasant to hold for long sessions. Plus, it’s designed to fit various hand sizes based on how you tie the fasteners around the loop. The black-on-white grip looks stylish, though we could do without the word “Mamut” being plastered all over it. That aside, this is undoubtedly one of the best Oculus Quest 2 hand straps that isn’t just a repurposed Quest 1 grip.

Hand + wrist strap combo

KIWI design Knuckle strap for Oculus Quest

This combination hand-and-wrist strap is KIWI’s second model, featuring several design improvements over a standard strap. The flat rubber loop, which can wrap around the tracking loop or controller, is less likely to budge over time than a round loop. Thicker, adjustable wrist straps offer more comfort than the base Oculus model, and the “magic tape” velcro ensures the band holds steady against your palm.

Extra straps and accessories

AMVR Touch Controller Grip Cover for Oculus Quest

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 crazy workouts. You also get two anti-sweat TPU plastic grips, a bonus lens protector, and a nose gap-closing attachment. While AMVR has labeled these as being for both the original and Quest 2, this appears to be misleading, as the design hasn’t changed and recent reviewers have complained that they don’t actually fit the new, larger controllers. While this disappointed us, we kept them on the list for Quest 1 shoppers.
