Relax your grip with these Oculus Touch hand straps and grips
Oculus Touch controllers have wrist loops that keep them from flying off, but you still have to keep a rigid claw grip on them at all times while playing. By installing a hand or knuckle strap, you can keep your controllers fully attached, even while letting go of them completely. We've collected the best Oculus Quest 2 hand straps - plus straps for the original Quest's different-sized Touch controllers - to make long VR gaming sessions more bearable.

Best for comfortVR Cover Controller Grips for Oculus Quest 2Staff Pick
Designed specifically for the new Touch controllers, these VR Cover grips have felt fabric straps that wrap around the back of your hand or knuckles, plus a plastic non-slip grip that won't bend in your fingers like a silicone grip. We tested and loved these grips, especially the strap that softly hugs your hands and allows you to let go worry-free during gameplay. They're also fully washable, so they won't end up sweat-stained and gross over time.
Easy battery swappingKIWI Design grips with battery opening
KIWI upgraded its original design with an ingenious battery compartment built into the grip. That makes changing the batteries as simple as opening the door, replacing the battery, and closing it again. Everything else is the same as the original grips, including the sweat-resistant soft silicone grip and those more rigid faux leather straps.

Sometimes, the price reflects the quality you'll get with a product. These top-notch new grips from KIWI Design aren't cheap, but they'll give you the most comfortable grip in the land. Like the other KIWI grips, these have a convenient slot for the battery compartment so you never have to remove them just to change out the battery.
Never remove them againBeswinVR Silicone Protection and Grips
The BeswinVR Silicone Protection and Grips might look pretty similar to many other grips. Still, they've got one huge feature that makes them the best grips you can buy when paired with another BeswinVR product: the BeswinVR Magnetic Charge Kit. That charge kit comes with a special rechargeable battery that has a magnetic connector on it. These grips have a circular cut-out made just for that magnetic connector, meaning you'll never have to remove the battery or grips again. So be sure to buy them together!
Smooth, 3D-printed gripNinjaGrip OQ2 Touch Controller Grips
Before retailers sold hand straps, VR fans with 3D printing skills found their own solution. Made of NinjaFlex filament, these NinjaGrips offer over 20 different color options, a comfortably smooth grip without any rough ridges, and straps with extra fabric padding. These look less "professional" than the other options and may take several weeks to ship and offer better finger comfort and easy installation. You'll find links for the Quest 1 and Quest 2 variants below.

Handstitched paddingMamut Grips^3
Made specifically for the new Quest 2 Touch controllers, the third-edition Mamut Grips has a very comfortable plastic TPU grip with built-in hand-stitched padding, making it more pleasant to hold for long sessions. Plus, it's designed to fit various hand sizes based on how you tie the fasteners around the loop. The black-on-white grip looks stylish, though we could do without the word "Mamut" being plastered all over it. That aside, this is undoubtedly one of the best Oculus Quest 2 hand straps that aren't just a repurposed Quest 1 grip.
Seeing red, black, and blueBOOLACYA silicone grips with strap
If you're looking to introduce a bit of color to your Quest 2 controllers, BOOLACYA has a cushy answer that also protects those halo rings on each controller. These cushy silicone grips significantly enhance comfort thanks to the soft finish. They even have a strap to keep the controller on your hands when you throw something in VR. As a bonus, this one comes with joystick covers to keep your thumbs from getting fatigued. The downside to this design is that it's a bit of a pain to swap out the batteries on the controllers every few months.
Change it upNexiGo controller grips
NexiGo uses hard TPU grips similar to AMVR or VR Cover's grips, but the difference is mostly in the strap itself. That strap is larger and wider than AMVR or VR Cover's and can be attached to the grips or the controller halo ring up top. That helps make these grips a better fit for a wider range of hand sizes.
Compatible with the original Oculus QuestThere aren't many options to choose from anymore but, if you've got an original Oculus Quest and just want some controller enhancements, these grips will do you a world of good.

As a bonus, you'll also get a cloth lens protector for travel and a nose gap-closing attachment for keeping light out of the headset.
