AMVR Knuckle Straps
Their Knuckle straps offer a minimalistic approach to the Quest 3 controllers, in that they replace the battery door and have a riveted velcro-adjusted strap attached at both ends. It is similar to the official option, but a whole lot cheaper and its leather strap is likely more robust than Meta’s offering.
The replacement cover material colour isn’t quite a perfect match, but this might be a trait of early mouldings of this accessory. There is a wave pattern on the palm side that helps your palms breathe, and generally, they are a nice pair of knuckle straps for the Quest 3.
AMVR Silicone Grips
The Silicone grips are an all-around protective solution for the Quest 3 controllers. Made from fluff-free silicone, they encase the entire controller and they also replace the battery door, so that the outer silicone door can offer easy access to the battery and its removal, thanks to a handy, and rather long, pull tab.
The knuckle strap on the silicone grip is slightly shorter at the top than their other knuckle strap, as a result, the top side can pinch a little more when the strap is adjusted tightly, so people with larger hands might find these silicone grips a little more uncomfortable, as the rivet does tend to dig in more than their minimalistic grip does, which is a shame.
Conclusion
Neither grip nor strap from AMVR covers the controller’s tracking sensors, so tracking is maintained throughout. Both straps hold firming thanks to their leather material and velcro attachment. Past evolution from all their Quest 2 straps has helped AMVR come out flying with these two grips.
Both are great, much cheaper, options over the official Action straps from Meta, with added features to boot. So if there is one thing that should be on your short list of Quest 3 accessories, either of these should be on it.
