Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ AMVR Magnetic Charging Display Stand for Oculus Quest 1 with VR Headset and Touch Controller Station (Not Compatible with Quest 2) by Brandon Plowden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very cool Quest charging station

I have had quite a bit of experience with Quest AMVR accessories so far and own most of them and this product continues its trend of amazing me with the quality of product design and construction. For starters, the packaging gives the impression that you're getting something good without even opening it, which is very similar to what you get with Oculus product packaging, an obvious resemblance and a smart move by AMVR. Speaking of the charging station. on its own - it's a good weight and doesn't look or feel like a cheap product. The design is thought through to the smallest detail, looks great and works great. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a notch to connect a Deluxe Audio Strap speaker. A minor inconvenience for those with the FrankenQuest mod as they have to unplug the speaker connector before placing their Quest on the charging dock or it won't seat fully for the charging adapter to connect automatically. For folks using an OEM headband on their Quest, this charging dock is an absolute hit. However, using Link I can see that the passive USB charging connector on the Quest gets a little annoying when removed as it's not easy to grab and pull, doable but not as easy as it should be . be. AMVR, a ledge/tray around the top edge, can be a solution to this problem, making it easier to grab. The link is becoming more and more popular so it would be nice to make removing the magnet easier if you want to plug in the link cable for some PCVR activities and also for those who use the spare battery for longer playtimes (there are many who do) . Making a 1.5ft USB cable with a fast magnetic connector that would play well with the Quest's charging station plug-in would be a GREAT idea, as it would eliminate the need to use the plug-in for auxiliary battery users to remove. Apart from these suggestions, I can't think of any other constructive criticism. All in all a great product and would buy again.

Pros
  • Patented original design AMVR
Cons
  • Little things
