Hibloks Extension Grips for Oculus/META Quest 2 Accessories, 3 in 1 Extension Handle for Quest 2 Controllers, Accessory for Beat Saber/Gorilla Tag Long Arms/Golf Club

They are nicely made, and the small counterweight they provide and the soft grip make for comfortable Beat Sabering…. initially.

However, I admit to overdoing the playing on that first weekend, feeling the gameplay overall was enhanced. But, after a few days, I suddenly had major elbow pain. Bad enough to get it checked out, and it’s embarrassing, but I had tennis elbow- from over-enthusiastic beat sabering. After a few weeks of rest, I could start playing again, and I eased my way in and played a lot of single saber rounds when my bad elbow was starting to ache.

I loved playing with them initially. However, now realize I hardly ever put them on anymore.

There are just not enough games that we play to utilize them, so I am only using them for Beat Saber and taking the battery cover off every time to screw these handles in, knowing I am going to have to watch my play time once I do just became kind of a bummer.

When I play, I want to PLAY- it is so rare for me to free up the time, and I want to take advantage of any free time I stumble into and spend that entire time playing, NOT detaching the battery covers and storing them off to the side somewhere safe (another concern is the constant removing of the charging covers I have on them now, and the elevated risk of those getting damaged from the constant on/off. it is only a matter of time, and then my charging station setup is moot.

So, my overall take is that these are great. But, I wish there were either a way to allow the sticks to be like an auxiliary charging base type situation or just a simpler set-up without the 10 mins of unscrewing, re-screwing, and then unscrewing and re-screwing again -which I must do as soon as I am done playing, in order to hang my controllers up, the time needed just to attach for playing is eating up 20 mins of my too little play time as it is to make these sticks very frequent flyers.

Side note on the “light up” feature- it is hysterically unimpressive. It is a small disc light that is under a plastic cap on the end of the wand that is the end you hold so whatever light it emits is hidden within the palm of your hand for one. But also, it is battery operated and the battery is sealed within, so no replacement option is given, LOL! Once it is dead, there is no way to recharge or get replacement disc lights.

But, I have to know, What is the point of that feature anyway?

They barely lit up, and what lite did emit, was hidden in your hand, then there is the significant fact that you simply cannot play in the dark, or the Oculus trackers will not see your controllers operate correctly, and playing in a well-lit room doesn’t lend any need for light up features, you can’t see them!!

So the light-up base didn’t add anything to it at all, I would have been Jazzed AF if instead of that silly lightsaber accent, they would have had a charger end under the cap to plug into its charging base, to power the controller, that would be epic, and I would likely never take them off.

There’s a lot to like about these extension grips from Hiblocks for the Meta Quest 2, but it comes as at a cost.

I’ll start off by saying that the quality of the extension grips is excellent. The materials are solid and look good. The extension grips themselves are lightly padded which makes them comfortable to hold. And speaking of holding, the one thing these do well is allow you to hold the controllers like actual swords.

This leads me to the unlearn what you have learned. Because they are being held like swords, I found that I had to relearn how to slice at the blocks. I’ve always played Beat Saber using wrist flicks rather than full arm swings. These grips pretty much require me to swing with my arms. A positive is that it’s easier to hit those blocks that normally required me to really stretch my arms, especially when crossing my arms across my chest. Another thing I noticed right away was the weight of the extension grips. They’re not exceptionally heavy, but compared to the weight that I’ve grown accustomed to, I found that my wrists and forearms got tired on some of the longer songs.

I’d say the biggest downside for me is the way the grips are installed. It requires replacing the battery cover with a custom cover that allows the grips to be screwed into the bottom of the controller. This is a necessary safety feature to ensure that the controllers don’t come flying off with all the swinging. The wrist straps also needed to be removed, however, there are replacement straps that attack to the end of the grips. Unfortunately, this makes it awkward to reach the thumbstick and buttons while wearing the straps. Lastly, the replacement battery cover needs to be screwed into place. This is because a custom piece holds the battery more securely.

After using the extension grips, I quickly got used to the differences, and my scores did improve. Time will tell how much I use these, as I already have custom battery covers on my controllers to work with the charging stand I use. I’m unsure if I will want to take time to swap out the battery compartment covers every time I want to use the grips.

I used it for like a month or 2 then I smacked it and the controller fell off it broke and it got sent with only one working light

Works great with my oculus quest 2

I really like these extensions! I was struggling from shoulder pain from too much Beat Saber. Using these reduced my need to reach, therefore reducing my pain while playing. My accuracy also improved while playing Beat Saber AND Walkabout Mini Golf. Im very impressed!!

I took away a point as it’s a bit of a hassle with rechargeable batteries.

We’re on our second set of these now, the grandchildren enjoy playing gorilla tag with them but they broke the first one within a month. Being longer and plastic you want to make sure they have room to swing it only took one hit to break it. They do have nice cushion grips though.

I use them to play Beat Saber and they are GREAT. It’s definitely much more fun than the original handler since you can use them as real swords now. But after an accidental fall on the ground. A part of the bottom of one grip cannot be attached to the whole handler, it’s loose now. I don’t know if the handler works as original without the tiny piece, but for good looking, I use tape to fix it. I understand that the products have to be made of plastic, for light weight and good price. But I really wish the factory would pay more attention to quality.

This device is great for games like Beat Saber and mini golf. It takes some time to put together but it wasn’t hard.
Didn’t like the fact that I had to remove the controller grips I had on them before. I’ll have to do that every time I use them.
The grip is nice and comfortable. Like anything else, it takes practice to get used to them. All in all, great product.
