Alternatives To The Quest 2
If you are looking for a VR headset in 2022 that can be used with and without a PC the Quest 1 and 2 are your best options. Quest 1 is loosing support by developers but has a great AMOLED display (with lower resolution and lower Hz refresh rate unfortunately). The Quest 1 is cheaper on second hand platforms but in my opinion not worth it since the Quest 2 is not expensive for what you get.
Alternatives to the Quest 2 as a Standalone VR headset don’t really exist. The much more expensive HTC Vive Focus 3, the Chinese Pico Neo 3 and the Kickstarter backed Lynx One are standalone VR headsets but offer almost no software/games and are more for developers and businesses.

Optics And Lenses
IPD Adjustment
Use a smartphone app to measure your IPD. This Android app works great:
For iOS users: The app ‘Eye Measures’ was mentioned by the community to work well.
You can also move the lenses in between the 3 fixed positions to fit your IPD better. The software detects that you are in between settings and the image is adjusted accordingly.
Glasses Spacers
There is a plastic insert in the box they also move you further away from the lenses reducing the field of view.
Click on subscription lenses offered by multiple vendors are the better solution, but they are also expensive.
Lens Cleaning/Care (Must Have)
Use a microfiber cloth at all times. You can use the cloth as a screen protector as well. Using other fabrixed might scratch the delicate plastic lenses.
Your lenses can act like a magnifying glass and direct sunlight can burn the display so avoid direct sunlight. The outside cameras, on the other hand, are not at risk of being damaged by sunlight, so playing outside in the garden is fine but to much sunlight effects tracking so it only works in a shady place or at dawn.
Lens Protective Film
Like screen protectors on phone screens for the extra peace of mind.
Remove Scratches
If you messed up your lenses ‘Polywatch Scratch Remover’ can almost completely remove scratches according to multiple sources. ifixit.com/Guide/Fix+Oculus+Quest+2+Scratched+Lenses/140781
Head Straps (Must Have)
A good head strap makes the headset more stable, prevents it from shifting around to much and makes keeping the sharp sweet-spot much easier. It also massively improves comfort.
Halo Strap
I personally use the halo head-strap since it is highly adjustable, very comfortable, cheap and reduces pressure from your face.
BOBOVR-M2-Plus | Amazon (Paid Link)
Elite Strap / Elite Battery Strap
Oculus offers two solutions which are also recommended by many in the VR community.
The Oculus Elite Strap and the Oculus Elite Battery Strap. The battery on the battery strap version, however, is not very big and the strap is over priced for what it offers.
Elite Battery Strap| Amazon (Paid Link)
A great extensive list of all/most of the headsets can be found here:
Hand Straps (Must Have)
Good hand straps reduce fatigue when holding the controllers and feel better than the hard plastic.
AMVR, Mamut and VRCover grips are the main providers. VRCover grips have the best reviews online and should be considered first
VRCover Straps | VRCover website (Paid Link)
VRCover Straps | Amazon (Paid Link)
Chargeable Batteries (Must Have)
Reputable brand and high mAh rating/storage capacity of up to 2800 mAh will let your Quest 2 controllers last weeks. The batteries that come with the Quest 2 are non-rechargeable and have a rating of 2500 mAh. If you have the option, go with Li-Ion they hold a high charge till the end so tracking also stays accurate till they are empty.
EBL AA 2800mAh Battery | Amzon (Paid Link)
VR Facial Interface (Nice To Have)
The stock interface is good enough for the beginning, comfortable and blocks most light. However, if you want a face cover that has a better feel to it and is easier to clean PU leather might be for you.
VRCover
No other brand offers the same quality and so many options. Forget the cheap chinese knockoffs. The newest updated fitness version comes with an improved venting system to prevent fogging and a thinner face pad for maximal field of few. Also the plastic part holding the face pad was improved being softer now adjusting better to your face shape. Taking on and off the nose piece also got slightly easier.

Increase FOV
Getting the headset closer to your eyes helps to increase the field of view (FOV) a bit in the horizontal direction and massively in the vertical direction.
The best way to bring your face closer to the headset seems to be the VRCover slim pads which come in the “Fitness Facial Interface and Foam Set”. However they are very thin and might be less comfortable than the thicker ones.
Some people also print their one plastic inserts but in my testing they did not bring me any closer to the lenses, but the idea to make the plastic part thinner so you can get closer to the lenses while using a thicker more comfortable foam is very interesting and I would love to see the manufacturers experiment a bit in this direction.
You can see for yourself what the maximum possible FOV could be by taking of the foam interface and holding the Quest directly to your face so that your eye lashes almost touch the lenses.
Battery Packs (Nice To Have)
The “Elite Battery Strap” and the “Bobo VR M2 Pro” seem booth to be good options. When using a powerbank check the voltage to get one that rough
DIY
To find the right battery pack you should first measure the weight distribution of your headset. It should be similar to my setup. Your Quest 2 roughly weighs 660g and has a front heaviness of 230g.
Now test your headset with different amounts of added weight until it feels most comfortable to you. If you found the right weight choose a battery pack with roughly that weight. Attach it with Velcro strap or use some of the different methods Reddit users discovered and 3D printed (reddit.com/what_battery_pack_?).
If you don’t like the weight on your head you can also put the power bank in a waist bag or your pockets but than you have an extra cable to deal with.
Better Audio (Must Have)
The build in audio is OK, and you might be happy with it. Be aware of the fact that directly connecting to the Quest 2 via Bluetooth is currently not supported so don’t buy regular bluetooth headphones for your Quest 2 they wont work very well and have huge lag. All solutions here use either a cable or a special add on in combination with wireles headphones to transfear the sound latency free.
Wireless In-Ear (Must Have)
Noise Canceling Headphones
Noise cancellation helps with immersion in noisy environments and is a great additional feature if you can afford it. The head bands should leave enough room to wear over ear headphones with them. The best money can buy are
- Sony WH-1000XM3 / WH-1000XM4 (noise canceling makes the sound a bit muffeld and less clear at least during my tests of the M3 compared to other high end headphones)
Sony WH-1000XM4 | Amazon (Paid Link)
- Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
Clip On Headphones
There are multiple clip-on earphones available. Usually, they are made from cheap of the shelf headphones and 3D printed brackets. There are only a few high end solutions available like the following:
- modicap Soundkit (German seller) excellent quality headphones but no noise cancellation
Shorter Audio Cable
Short Audio Cable | Amazon (Paid Link)
I personally use my favorite high end over the ear headphones and shortened the cable with this trick.
USB And Link Cable (Nice to Have)
The USB-C cable coming inside the Quest 2 Box is only USB 2.0 this means data transfer rates are rather slow. You get better transfer rates using a USB 3.0 cable. Often your smartphone comes with a USB 3.0 cable. Also the USB-C cable in the box has a USB-C connector on booth sides so you might need a standard USB-C cable to connect to your PC.
Even More Accessories
The amount of accessories is huge, but not all of them are useful. Here I will present some which offer a real benefit.
Carpet In Play Center (Must Have)
A carped in the center of the play area as a safe zone is a must have. As long as you stand with booth feet on the carpet, you can’t hit a wall.
The carpet trick allows you to set the guardian settings to low activation speed and close distance, thereby avoiding the guardian system from always turning on when being immersed. However you should not turn off the guardian system completely the carpet is not a full replacement for the guardian system.
Anti-Slip Grip Socks (Nice To Have)
In movement heavy games like Pistol Whip or Blaston they really help, especially if your floor is slippery.
Controller Protectors (Nice To Have)
Many controller protectors partly cover the infrared LEDs. The VRCover protectors are an exception and seem not to affect tracking.
VRCover Protectors | VRCover website (Paid Link)
However the Quest 2 is very robust out of the box so a protector might not be needed and you can save the money.
USB Drive As Cheap Storage
To access the thump drive with your Quest you need to do some extra steps.
Gun Stocks
You can also make your own if you have 3D printing experience.
I printed a gun stock myself and found that aiming correctly is much harder because the gun hits against the Quest. A gun stock which is positioned below the controllers should allow for better aiming but I haven't tested that. Another issue I had with the gun stock is that changing weapons is cumbersome and single hand weapons can not be used properly. In short, gun stocks have many disadvantages and I personally don’t use mine much but for some limited use cases they can increase immersion.

Repair and Disassembly
To open the Quest 2 you need special tools. I can highly recommend the “iFixit Mako precision bit set” it includes TORX T2 bits which are needed to open parts of the headset. A guide explaining how to open it can be found here:
www.ifixit.com/Guide/Oculus+Quest+2+Disassembly/139759

Sidequest and ADB (Must Have)
Sidequest is very helpful software to make installing unofficial apps easier. The other way to install apps to the Quest is normally only used by developers and is called Android Debug Bridge (ADB). Sidequest makes use of ADB but ADB is a separate more powerful underlying software.
As always the Discord server is a great place to ask more specific questions.
Enhance Texture Resolution (Must Have)
In sidequest under “device settings and tools” you can change the texture resolution. The standard resolution seems to be around 1536. By increasing it the visuals become noticeably better. Setting it to 2048 should make not much of a performance difference but a noticeably difference in clarity on all games. Depending on the app used, setting it to 2560 can noticeably effect performance (occasional frame drops). Setting CPU and GPU level to 4, Fixed Foveate Rendering level “Top High” and Refresh Rate to 72Hz or even 60fps helps keep the performance up despite high texture resolution.
In shooter games the higher clarity might give you an advantage when aiming and shooting enemies far away.
OVR Metric Tool
When running into performance issues (happens when you increase texture resolution to much in demanding apps/games) you can use the OVR Metric tool from Oculus to get detailed stats of frame rate and performance of the device.
With the help of this developer tool, you could find out the optimal resolution and settings for each of your games. For example beat saber is very well optimized, and a higher resolution is possible without the Quest 2 dropping frames.
Run ADB Commands
You can type in more specific commands by hand using ADB (Android Debugging Bridge). But remember these settings are not permanently and reset after restarting the device. The easiest way to type in the adb commands is via Sidequest.
adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 7200000
- No Screen Saver for Media Player (Netflix, …)
am broadcast -a com.oculus.vrpowermanager.prox_close
- Disable Quest Proximity sensor
am broadcast -a com.oculus.vrpowermanager.automation_disable
- Enable Quest Proximity Sensor
adb shell setprop debug.oculus.refreshRate 60
- Lower framereate to 60fps so you can crank up resolution or when recording gameplay for youtube which only supports 60fps video
adb shell setprop debug.oculus.refreshRate 72
- Lower frame rate to 72Hz which is lower than the standard 90Hz so that you can set the quality settings to high ( texture resolution 2560 )
shell am broadcast -a com.oculus.vrpowermanager.prox_close
- turns off the proximity sensor
shell am broadcast -a com.oculus.vrpowermanager.automation_disable
- turn the proximity sensor back on
Install SideQuest On Your Phone/Quest
Not my prefered method I like using Sidequest on my pc better but it works.
You can also install it on the quest itself but again you need to repeat that step every time you restart the headset so I don’t think this is ideal.
Improve Black Levels (Must Have)
The black on LCDs isn’t great but by reducing brightness of the back light of the LCD display helps. The back-light illuminates all the pixels and therefore doesn’t allow for true blacks as can be found in OLED displays as found on the Quest 1. Reducing screen brightness improves blacks but also reduces the brightness of all the other colors. Since the Quest 2 is a bit to bright anyways this is a good thing and should also improve battery life slightly which is a nice addition.
Changing the brightness with the slider sets it to 16% for the lowest setting. You can also use this abd command to set it even lower, but I did not see a difference.
adb shell settings put system screen_brightness 0
I would recommend using the slider in the normal settings since this will set the brightness level permanently compared to using adb which might resets after resart.
All adb commands will reset to normal when restarting the headset.
Sideload Android Apps
With Sidequest you can directly install Android apps on the quest which runs on android itself. You just need to get the .apk file and use Sidequest for installation. Not many Android apps work directly since Oculus is not supporting this feature. Buttons in Android apps installed this way are often set off and it’s hard to use the apps properly. But some Apps work and are useful, for example FileManager, Spotify to play your favorite music in the background.
File Manager can also be used t directly install apk files on your quest.
You can also play games using a Bluetooth controller as shown in this 2D-Minecraft installation guide.
By using an Android Emulator on the Quest you can also get the Android apps to work that do not work properly by installing them directly on the headset.
Downgrade Apps
Sometimes you want to use an older version of an app for example if you Update BeatSaber to the latest version but the BMBF mods and custom songs mods are not yet available for this latest version. Since Sidequest doesn’t allows you to sideload apps from the store it is a bit more complicated as seen in the video:
The Downgrade App can also be used to install Quest 2 exclusive games on the Quest 1.
Sidload GearVR/Oculus Go Apps
This only works well for very few apps. Minecraft is an exception where it works a bit. Most other GearVR and Go apps however don’t work correctly and the buttons on your Quest-controller are not mapped correctly to the GearVR/Go-controller which makes the apps unplayable on the Quest 2.
If you wanna try to install the GearVR/Go apps you bought anyway and you don’t care if you risk a ban by Facebook since this includes installing modified apk files follow THIS reddit guide it will walk you through the steps to make it happen for most GearVR/Go apps available.
Emulators
AR Apps and Games
Developers can create AR apps using the see-through camera mode. These Apps are not in the store so you need to install them manually.
Mods for Standalone
VPN
On your phone (Must Have)
A VPN allows you to trick the Oculus store in thinking you live in a different country. This affects software prices since foreign currencies have different conversion rates.
The free Android app Tunnel Bear is easy to use and has a free monthly limit which is more than enough to quickly log in and buy apps in a foreign currency. On average this saves between 3$ to 7$ per game.
On Your PC
Some PC Key online portals ban VPN IP addresses but you can simply circumvent the ban by trying different VPN IP addresses hoping that not all ip addresses are known to the blocker software. I had good experiences using the completely free windscripe VPN ( windscribe.com ) to buy games with Canada dollars on one of these sites that restrict VPN users. I used this Chrome plugin which was the easiest way for me.
Steam games can also be bought using a VPN but it is more complicated compared to buying games via VPN on the Oculus store.
On your Quest
Unfortunately sharing the VPN running on your phone with the Quest via creating a mobile hotspot isn’t possible since Android permits sharing the VPN connection this way. If you have a rooted phone however, this might work.
Since rooting your phone has many disadvantages running a VPN on your Quest seems the better option.
- Might solve privacy concerns for you
- Allows you to watch Bigscreen’s free movies (when living outside the US)
- Allows you to use voice control on Quest (when living outside the US)
- Affecting which movies you can watch in the Netfilix app
On your Router
Having a VPN running on your router will make all devices connected to it use this VPN as well.
Apps and Games on Quest
Games on Oculus Quest store are sometimes downgrades from PC versions of the same title. The PC titles are often cheaper than the Quest titles which means you pay more for lower quality when you buy some Quest games. Only Cross-buy titles can be used on Quest and PC so think twice before you buy a game in the Oculus Quest store.
Sidequest
You find many free and paid games on Sidequest. Most of them are more experimental compared to the ones on the Oculus Quest store.
App Lab (Must Have)
Is part of the Oculus Quest Store and contains more experimental apps many directly coming from Sidequest. Apps can only be found with direct links which can be found on sidequest or the following websites:
App Lab is growing quickly and should be your first stop when looking for free and experimental apps.
App Launcher
BMBF and Beat Saber Mods (Must Have)
BMBF allows you to add hundreds or even thousands of new songs all made by the community to your Beat Saber app.
You should read the official website since with each Beat Saber update things change and older How To’s get invalid. Also the official website contains lots of important information on best practices so you do not loose the songs you already picked and installed.
Updates to beat saber can break the mods you installed. It’s a good idea to not accept the prompt to update Beat Saber when a new official version is released until you are 100% sure you want to update and you made a backup of your songs.
Downgrade BeatSaber
If you have a new version which doesn’t support bmbf yet you can simply downgrade the beat saber app to use custom songs which work well on older versions.
Additionally there are many other mods available like Score Saber allowing you to compare your stats to others and mods that change the appearance of the sabers, blocks and surroundings.
Auto-Generate Songs
Modding Blade & Sorcery
Location Based Games
I want to mention this game even if it is not really a hack necessary to play it but it is unique in beeing the only location based app available and the video gives some important setup tips.
Cloud Gaming
Cloud gaming can save you a lot of money but it is only a viable option if you have a good internet connection (low~20 ms latency/ping to google server and 60–100 Mbit download speed works for me but you might also get away with a less ideal setup) when the cloud provider is close to your home you should have a good latency/ping. The Mbit download/upload speed depends on your data plan and availability in your region.
Currently only Virtual Desktop works in combination with cloud PC’s since AirLink doesn’t support cloud pc gaming. The biggest issue beside living to far away from the server is finding a server with a good enough GPU. Most cloud providers only offer old server GPU’s which are not ideal for VR.
Having your own pc at home and a VR headset that connects to your PC via a dedicated cable (not the USB cable used by the Quest 2 which leads to compression) will still offer the best experience you can get, but it also costs you over 1000$ and more like 2500$. On the other hand a monthly subscription is 30$ plus the 300$ Quest that’s it.
Shadow PC
Still one of the best options for cloud gaming due to the ease of use and availability. With 30€ a month a bit expensive compared to other providers.
Unfortunately there are also long waiting times of up to multiple months depending on your region.
For general Shadow support check out the discord server (also available in DE and FR):
If you decide to use Shadow enter the promo code CHR79J8F you get 5€ off your purchase and I get 1€ of my monthly subscription.
Plutosphere VR
Microsoft Azure Cloud
1 year free trial account for students but the NV6 instance in this loud gaming pc is to weak for good VR since it only has a Tesla M60 GPU inside which leads to lots of frame drops and stutters in Half-Life Alyx even on lowest settings. Some old low fidelity VR games are playable but I would not recommend it.
Another resource: https://gist.github.com/blixt/97009dfa3eb916dbd4624a38191fe10d
Google Cloud (3-months free)
The google cloud platform offers a NVIDIA Tesla 4. This GPU only works for some VR games since the Tesla 4 GPU is not very powerful and very old already. Therefore some games run smooth at 72fps others only at 60fps and low graphics and others show unbearable stutter. Half Life Alyx can’t hold the 60fps even when setting it to lowest settings so it is not a pleasure but it is free at the end. I played through multiple games despite the hick ups and I can say it is possible but not very enjoyable and some fast pace games like boxing are unplayable.
The following basic cloud gaming tutorials should help you get started:
Tutorial 1, Tutorial 2 and Tutorial 3
I will list some specific tips I did for my current setup since no tutorials are available who explain it well. Some of these tips might not change much but I want to list them all maybe in your case they help you out:
- You can simply turn parsec of and Virtual Desktop runs alone on the cloud which is great since having parsec run as well would reduce performance and streaming quality. But you need Parsec in the beginning to start the Virtual Desktop Streamer on the cloud PC. Do not use Windows Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the cloud PC at the same time you try to start Virtual Desktop because they don’t work together and VD will only show you a green screen when you start them booth together.
- Using a faster DNS server might help to speed up your internet connection. I myself did not notice an improvement but it seems not to hurt.
3. You need to add extra space manually when you want to install big games.
4. Oculus Software is a bit tricky. Sometimes it only runs after running the parsec preparation script and doing a restart. Also when installing the Oculus Software, skip the “select your device” step. What helped me when I got an Oculus App error was to start the following software automatically:
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRServer_x64.exe
Also I got a wlanapi-dll error and fixed it using these commands. Running PowerShell in admin mode.
Get-WindowsFeature *Wireless*
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Wireless-Networking
— Restart Server —
net start WlanSvc
Also change the default browser to Chrome when Oculus App tries to log in with Edge browser and throws an error.
5. Don’t reduce the vCPUs number some sources claim 6 is enough but not for VR stick with 8vCPUs.
6. Find the nearest server:
In europe: europe-west2 (location London) worked straight away but was a bit to far away from me in Germany resulting in higher than necessary latency. For getting europe-west4 and europe-west3 running I had to try creating a virtual machines on different days until resources where available again. The first time I tried I got the resource error “ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED”
7. To start a gaming pc in the search bar type “NVIDIA Gaming” and chose the “Windows 2016 NVIDIA Gaming” option. There is a Windows 2019 option as well but it’s twice the price without any benefits for VR gaming as far as I know.
8. Since the GPU is the botttelneck for performance, changing the resolution quality settings in SteamVR from AUTO to CUSTOM and lowering the value from the default position should help get the game run smoothly in case you experience frame drops below 60fps.
9. In the Virtual Desktop settings you can also do something. You can change the bitrate settings to ‘change bitrate automatically’ this option can automatically set the bitrate below 32 which is lower than what you can do by setting the bitrate manually and therefore might improve the fps you can archive. Also set the virtual desktop settings so that latency is higher but occasional stutters are reduced.
10. Enable auto startup.
PaperSpace Cloud PC
Offers very powerfull GPUs and is therefore a good coice for cloud gaming when you have to wait for your ShadowPC. Recommended by the community is a 8 core CPU, 30GB RAM and a Quadro RTX4000 GPU.
Maximum Settings Cloud PC
Offers per hour payment for a good price but not available in many regions and sold out at time of writing.
Stream Movies via DLNS Server
Streaming movies from your phone or PC saves space on your device especially if you chose the 64 GB Quest version.
Rip 3D Movies from your Blue-Rays
Disable Facebook Tracking / Login
Facebook collects a lot of data about you but there are methods to disable the Facebook login and tracking.
First video shows how the Oculus support disables login when you simply ask them to do so. This solution might not be working for long though.
The second solution is more radical and you should check out the comments and the YouTube channel since updates to the Quest 2 may affect this solution. Also make sure you know what you doing since this second solution might result in your Quest not be able to do some things you normally do. Check this Article about some disadvantages here https://uploadvr.com/oculess-unlink-facebook-quest-2/.
TLDR: Don’t do what's explained in the "No Login Required"-video if you want a working device.
Alternative User Guides
I wrote this guide since I found nothing comparable out there but here are a few other guides with a focus on other aspects of the Quest experience.
The "Oculus / Meta Quest 2 Starter Guide" is the biggest alternative guide I came across. Lots of further links and a large list of games.sorted by genre. Also.many tips and tricks on acessories and speacial use cases. Defenetly worth checking out.
The ultravr guide has a focus on the little tricks and features you might need to find out yourself when you get started.
Gibby’s guide v2 talks more about the different software you can choose from.
