Review on Kiwi Design Face Cushion for HTC Vive: Enhanced Comfort and Eye Pad Replacement with Lens Cleaning Kit - 3 Packs (18mm/12mm/6mm) by Anthony Woolley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Same problems as others. Good deal though!

I don't use VR glasses because I don't need them, but it would be nice if I could. These foam replacements have the same problem as my previous official VRCover replacements: they take up too much width in the face area, preventing the goggles from fitting in that area. I think you could rearrange them for more space with a sewing kit, but that's not in the interest of a good design. Consumers should not modify their devices just to make them usable. It should just work. However, the price for 20 € is great. You get 3 different thicknesses: 6 mm, 12 mm and 18 mm. You also get a pretty useful cleaning kit as a bonus. I really wanted to replace the 6mm pad with my old VRCover 6mm pad. However, the other sizes were much more comfortable and didn't impact field of view as much as I expected, so I'll only consider using the 6mm size when playing active games like Beat Saber. The more comfortable ones are used for less active gaming and cinema experiences. I'll consider buying overlays to match the goggles to make it easier for me to demonstrate VR to people, but it was definitely a good buy. I highly recommend it. Excellent kit. Excellent price.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Nothing here
