Good product but Quest 2 Controller doesn't help them much

I don't write many reviews but since there aren't many Quest 2 products out there yet I thought twice. A critical review would be helpful. My arms are big, not overly big, but probably a little firmer than most. That means I've had to install straps for almost the largest possible configurations. This hampered my experience a bit as very occasionally I had to drop the velcro straps as they started to separate. So I wouldn't recommend them if you have big hands. (see additional content at the bottom of the review) Also, I had to adjust them a few times to get a functional fit, when the straps were tight on my hand this tended to position my thumbs right over the top (Y/B ) buttons, while in a normal grip the bottom (X/A) buttons have the thumbs over them. This was definitely too limiting in functionality as it drastically changed the way the joysticks and occulus/adjustment buttons were accessed. After some fiddling and adjusting I was able to get a more functional grip, but I have to admit that this adjustment affects the tightness of the straps and I have to readjust the straps quite often during play. I think some of these will fit, the problem is my slightly larger hands. I plan to do some testing with my girlfriend's kids to see if these straps fit their little hands better. But I don't think the only issue is the size of my hands, I think the Quest 2's controller design is also the biggest issue. I'm not sure hand straps are entirely comfortable and secure due to the third party having to use unintended attachment points. The material quality of this product is quite acceptable, if not overly impressive. Nothing feels cheap, but nothing feels overly heavy and premium. The lines are better than the standard lines, imho the thumb caps give a little better grip on the thumb end, but that's not necessary. Overall, I think the product could do with better support for larger hands, but the limitations of my experience I believe stem from the design of the Quest 2 controller rather than the product itself. We're already used to not actively holding the controller anymore hold and prefer to adjust their leash rather than the standard leash. I will most likely try some future products that are released in the future to (hopefully) improve my experience and this product will serve me until I find something better for me. my wrist straps according to the instructions that came with the product, but I have found that this is different than the product on Revain's product page. This discrepancy is due to the rubber rings that wrap around the O's on the top of the controller. I changed my settings to reflect what is shown on this product page and it allowed for much larger hand sizes, but my other experience hasn't really changed. I don't have to tighten the straps as much when playing, but I still have to adjust them. I don't have to fix the velcro every now and again, but my hands still get a little higher (above the Y/B buttons, though not as much). This makes it easier for large hands, but adjusting the rubber ring attachment on the controller can allow for use with fairly large hands. Based on this modified setup, I'm comfortable giving this product a 4 (originally I gave it a 3) because they're quite serviceable, but I'm still looking for the best product to bring to market .
