Review on Enhance Your VR Table Tennis Experience with AMVR Table Tennis Paddle Grip Handle for Oculus Quest 2 Touch Controllers by Paul Koehler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I think it helps my game

Bought this for Eleven Table Tennis on Quest 2. Do you need this accessory? no Does it help you play better? I think so. At first I didn't think it would work. This definitely makes the paddling hand feel very heavy and a little wobbly as I was sure I would throw it across the room at some point (no room for a wrist strap or anything other than the smooth plastic grip surface). Then I shifted my grip a bit and wrapped my index finger around the inside of the "hook" and it became more natural and safer. Again, I found it a bit pricey for something like this when the controller works great on its own. But after playing for about 5 minutes, I took it off again and reset the in-game settings and the feel of the paddle went away immediately. It makes your hand feel more "real" (albeit a bit unrealistically heavy. I know real TT racquets weigh nothing) and I swear it really helped me in my game (I'm new to TT, literally only at the beginning). Although I said it looks like you're throwing it across the room, the clip holding the controller actually feels very secure. The strap that holds the controller grip is thought through to the smallest detail so it can only be installed in one direction (left or right controller) so there is no setup confusion. Once you change the in-game settings (I love that Eleven has this feature), I have no issues with the tracking at all. And I started consistently beating the AI! (Easy. Like I said, newbie. Don't judge.) I deducted 1 star because it's impossible to use it with grip caps or touch ring bumpers on the controller, which is required every time. It's kind of a pain and I wish there was a way to make room for these items. Yes, it's stupid and unnecessary. And yes, I'm keeping it.

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
