Meta takes a step forward with the Quest 3 charging dock and accessories

Meta's new Quest 3 charging dock at US$129.99 simplifies VR use by allowing simultaneous charging of headset and controllers, making it a game-changer.

Meta is launching a new charging dock designed for its Quest 3 virtual reality headset. Priced at US$129.99, the charging dock is not just another piece of hardware; it’s a thoughtful solution for VR enthusiasts. Unlike its predecessor designed for Quest Pro 2, which was wired and didn’t support simultaneous charging for both the headset and controllers, this new dock is a game-changer. It is an all-in-one station, allowing you to neatly mount and power up your Quest 3 headset and controllers.

More importantly, the dock addresses a longstanding pain point for VR users—battery life. It comes fitted with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for the Quest 3 controllers, providing a sustainable alternative to the disposable AA batteries used previously. This move isn’t just convenient; it’s environmentally responsible, too, potentially cutting down on the e-waste associated with disposable batteries.

Elevate your VR experience with compatible accessories

If you’re thinking of fully immersing yourself in the Quest 3 experience, Meta’s got you covered with a range of compatible accessories. First up is the Elite Strap, priced at US$69.99, designed to offer more customisation and comfort. It lets you adjust your VR headset for a better fit, improving your device’s security and comfort during use.

But the company didn’t stop there. For those seeking even more functionality, Meta offers an Elite Strap with an extra battery for US$129.99. This bundle doesn’t just add comfort; it extends your VR playtime by two additional hours. Other than these, Meta has also rolled out a facial interface and head strap bundle for US$49.99, designed to be more hygienic and easier to clean, especially after intense gaming sessions or workouts. Lastly, you can get the US$39.99 Active Straps for Touch Plus Controllers. These straps aim to provide extra grip and stability, ensuring that your controllers stay firmly in your hands while navigating virtual worlds.

Why Meta’s Quest 3 accessories matter

The Quest 3 dock and the range of new accessories indicate Meta’s commitment to VR hardware and user experience. They are not just add-ons but well-thought-out solutions designed to make your virtual reality sessions more engaging, comfortable, and hassle-free. 

Whether it’s the ease of charging or the enhanced playtime and comfort, Meta is making a strong statement in the evolving VR landscape. These new releases show that the company is keen on taking user experience to the next level, making VR more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
