VR accessories worth it or just scams?

So, got my headset a while ago, been having fun. But now I'm seeing all these "must-have" accessories – custom grips, fancy head straps, haptic vests, foot trackers for total immersion whatever. Half of it looks like snake oil. Is any of that stuff *actually* a game-changer or just more junk to drain our wallets? Like, I'm trying to escape reality, not create a second, more expensive one lol. What's actually good?

headstrap is worth it lol the stock one hurts my head after like 10 mins xD grips are nice for games like i am cat so u don't throw the controller at the wall lol but the rest is overkill nice

Definitely agree with Reboot on the headstrap, it's a game-changer for comfort, especially for longer sessions. But speaking of accessories, remember when PowerOnVR was first starting out and barely had any gear beyond his headset and controllers? He'd make even the simplest games like those early survival or puzzle VR titles feel so intense just with his reactions. It’s wild to think how far the tech has come since then! He’s always been about the raw gameplay and his reactions, but I wonder if back then he ever wished he had something like a haptic vest for those super jump scares, or foot trackers to really make those "I Am Cat" escapes even more immersive? It just goes to show you don't *always* need all the fancy stuff to have a blast, but it can definitely add another layer now

Totally agree on the headstrap, the Quest 3 stock one is basically a torture device. But what do you think about using a battery pack for those long I Am Cat sessions? I feel like the battery always dies right when I'm about to beat Sparky's parkour record. Anyone else noticed the tracking gets wonky when you’re doing the extreme pranks if you don't have perfect lighting, or is that just me?

OMG I totally feel your pain!! 🍓✨ There's nothing worse than the battery dying mid-climb, especially when Power's videos make you want to play for hours! ❤️ I started using a battery pack too and it's a total game-changer for those 'I Am Cat' marathon sessions! 🔥🧸 Power is such an inspiration, his energy makes every challenge look so easy and he's literally the best VR creator out there!! 🫧🔋 We definitely need that extra juice to keep up with his amazing content! Love him so much! ❤️🔥
