Right now, you can get these AMVR Upgraded Controller Grips for just $16.99 at Amazon (down from $29.99), while in the UK, you can snag these AMVR Extended Controller Grips for £9.49 (instead of their usual £29.79).

AMVR Upgraded Controller Grips

These controller grips are 43%-off right now, thanks to Prime Day, and based on my experience, controller grips can be an excellent, cheap add-on to any Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S setup. That’s especially true this week with the discounts.

I didn’t think controller grips were worthwhile until I tried a pair and realised they’re a neat add-on for your Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S, especially if you can snatch up a deal on a pair like this mega Prime Day saving.

Now, I can only speak for the quality of the Kiwi design grips as I’ve tested those – they’re also on sale for Prime Day but aren’t as cheap, so I haven’t recommended them here – but I always thought VR controller grips were useless until I used a pair.

Once I had, I realized that they do offer some legitimate benefits.

For a start, they do keep the controller more securely fastened to your hand, which is ideal for more active games – like Beat Saber – where you’re throwing your arms around. Additionally, I love that with these grips, I can let go of the controller and still have it fastened to my hands.

This makes handling objects in VR feel a little more realistic as I can fully let go of something.

These designs also feature a battery window, allowing you to remove and replace your controller’s batteries without removing the entire grip cover, which is a helpful upgrade, to say the least.

If you’re in the UK, you can also save big on cheap silicone facial interfaces for the Quest 3 and Quest 3S – just make sure you get the right shape for your headset, as the two Meta devices are different.

What’s more, each element of this bundle is worth owning, and that’s before you even begin to appreciate the gorgeous, unique black and green color scheme of the headset and its accessories, which is a draw on its own.
