AUBIKA Rechargeable Controller Grips Cover for Meta/Oculus Quest 2, with Charge Cable and Battery, Adjustable for Different-Sized Hand - Black
CLAIMS FROM THE COMPANY:
⚡【NO MORE BATTERY REPLACEMENT】 The first charging design for a grip cover, as such, you don't have to replace the battery as often, but by simply charging it just like how you charged your quest 2 headset(charging cable included).
🆓【FITS WITH MOVEMENT】 Distinctive flow design makes way for a strong signal. Texture on it to avoid slippage due to sweaty hands from intense play. Narrow strap at the top and wide at the bottom to prevent rubbing against hands. Everything to make using Quest 2 controllers easier.
✋【UNLOCK DIFFERENT-SIZED HAND】 Lengthen the controllers from 4.76” to 6.97”, adding more than just length but more manoeuvrability for different games. And you can share with friends who have different sized hands, especially large hands.

Just ordered a pair, was only 6 left. The rechargeable functionality is worth it. I love my Kiwis but I hated having to pull batteries out to charge. As for the dock that would be nice but since I use my Q2 for PCVR mainly and with the link cable I have my Quest2 doesn't need charging really ever so this was an easy sell for me.
(For anyone wondering about the link cable I use it is the Kuject Designs powered link cable. Keeps my quest2 roughly at 80% charge while in use.)
how did you add the code to the cart?
@@iAdden when you get to check out there will be a box that you can add the code into. Left side center I believe.
It sounds like they're selling out fast then! Hopefully they get more in stock soon!
I got them in today, honestly I like the way they fit my hands better than the Kiwi Grips and absolutely love the charge cable. Definitely a great alternative to the Kiwi Grips, especially at the price. Thanks for the awesome review as always! Oh and thanks for the Discount code!!
@@oniyashidoji thanks for that, I’m still waiting for mine
Engineer here. The lower voltage battery may lead to issues down the road. Specifically in sensitive equipment low voltage causes an increase in current draw and could damage the electronics down the road. Probably not a big deal here but definitely a concern if worried about longjevity
Appreciate these vids. Trying to stay educated and it helps people I play with because I can always throw them your way or explain to them pros and cons.
After watching your videos I have decided to purchase
Meta Quest 2 256GB
Bobovr M2 pro plus
Bobovr F2
KKCOBVR i2
Soundcore VR P10
and now these rechargeable grips. My daughter is going to love all this.
ThankQ Jay. Your videos are always very helpful. I bought the BoboVR head strap with magnetic rechargeable battery's after watching your video about it and it has taken my VR experience to the next level. These grips look great and will hopefully put a stop to my son throwing the controllers around the room! (he never puts the wrist straps on unless I notice and make him do it) I am going to buy these and I'll use your affiliate link to give you a few $. You are my go-to for any VR reviews so keep up the good work!
Thanks for the recommendation Jay! I will definitely check them out when it comes time to replace my Kiwi grips.
Thanks for the review. I just oredered a pair based on this video.
First time here Super chill and honest video! Convinced me to pick up a pair. Looking forward to more content. Keep it up.
Mine just came today! I have them charging and I look forward to trying them out tomorrow!
Hey Jay, just wanted to say I'm really enjoying your videos and podcast. Specifically, I appreciate the fact the fact that you're willing to NOT recommend stuff. VR UA-camrs are generally horrible and just hype everything. I think there's definitely a place for enthusiasts who are honest, credible, and unabashedly pro-consumer. Anyway, I ordered the next to last set of these (white) grips that Amazon listed in stock & used your code. I've wanted some Kiwis for a while, but I trusted you on this one and also wanted to support the channel. Keep doing good & fun things on UA-cam!
DK that means so much to me that you say that and I'm glad we found you some grips! I actually get NOTHING from these codes and I NEVER accept payment for reviews which makes it easy to just speak my mind and not get caught up in all that nonsense. It's nice when they offer a discount code for our followers but it doesn't affect me either way if it gets used :)
Bc of this video, I got myself the aubika grip and omg it's amazing. Made my last grip look like a toy lmfao. Keep up with the review brother. Also I notice your usbc charging cable is a little different from mine. Mine came with a 3 in 1 and yours look like a 2 in 1 usba to usbc . I might be wrong.
Hey this is lit! I loved your review. IF you're coming to CES come to the Aubika booth! I'll be there with them.
Nice review. I gotta get me some.
i agree 100% with what you said, and actually not a bad idea with the magnetic charger plugs, i might buy some and test how it works with them. my 1 hope is that you can buy batteries seperately and that they might have some bigger versions at a later date
I am just swapping some of my magnetic tips on immediately but they told me they are considering a dock for them too! :)
@@jaybratt i didnt even think about asking them, i asked them if they could add a green led for the charging so it switches to green when its done instead of a solid red
You had me at the sword. Great analysis and looks like exactly what I need. Just placed my order with your link. To solve the USB-C problem, I'm getting magnetic adapters. Not sure if that will work, but I'll use them elsewhere if not. Thanks for the video!
How do you like them? I still use mine and love that they're always charged and ready.
When Jay Bratt talks I listen! Just ordered these after watching the video. Thanks Jay!
I'd love to hear how you like them Jeff! Nat tried them and with her hands being a bit smaller she thought they were awesome! She's been using the Kiwi's all along too which she liked but the contour on these feels right.
@@jaybratt Will do! I’ll test them out and let you know Jay.
I have my kiwi grips for a few months. I love them, but it is a pain to change the batteries. They are more or less easy to come out of the controller, but putting them in is sometimes hard. Luckily I don't need to swap them so often as with the Quest1. If I had to choose now, maybe I would have gone for the Aubika grips.
Hopefully these kind of grips will come out for the Pico4 as well. I just got my Pico4 and I haven't add any thirdparty thingies on them....😁
Ooohhh a new company emerge and challenge Kiwi and bobovr in the 3rd party Quest market. Nice! They look very nice but since I just bought the long Kiwi grip 2 months ago, I’ll stick with them for now but it sure is nice seeing good accessories with good review!
We have just bought the Kiwi grips and have been trying them for a few days now. We have found that the extra weight is actually a problem for the faster levels of Beat Saber where you need to flick the controllers really quickly (particularly for family members with smaller hands). Would you recommend that we consider these Aubika grips or should we instead go with something that adds very little weight and no additional length such as the AMVR grips?
I've had the Kiwi long grips since the day after I got my Quest 2. Just last night I pulled them off to test the feel without them. Even though I have larger than average hands I was thinking it would be nice to have a little thinner grip. Might have to see if Santa agrees.
Thanks for the review. I'm still torn between getting the kiwi or the Aubika. I had the Kiwi pro version (the shorter grip) and had to return them because they were uncomfortable for my big hands. I would appreciate any update for which one to go for. Did you have any issues with the batteries on the Aubika? Thanks in advance.
Just getting back to you. Been using these for a week now and am pleasantly surprised with them. They feel really nice to grip. First thing that threw me was when I charged to controllers up they would only show 90%. After reaching out to the company I found these have Ni-MH batteries which work differently and do not hold their charge as well however the discharge rate drops slightly as the charge drops (e.g. discharges slower as it gets lower in charge). This is normal and as they said just go by the solid red charging light when they are fully charged. Just something to be aware of. They also plan to offer additional batteries within a month. Really good quality parts so far. Definitely similar to the quality of the Kiwi ones I had been using. Really like plugging in to charge without having to remove the batteries every time. Also got a neat trick. On the bottom when you tighten the knuckle strap I was able to fold the end over the bottom of these grips therefore stopping them from flapping about. Was not able to do this with my Kiwi's so I think I will keeping these and trying to pick up some extra batteries when they decide to release them. Thanks again for the recommendation.
I need to save up for the amvr grip dock. I have the version before they changed it for grips and I had to trim down the cheap ones that go onto the tracking ring that are currently falling apart lol. Gotta love duck tape!
There pretty cool but do they fit the oculus quest case??
Got the Hounyoln grips and honestly they're pretty impressive and they're only $15. They still allow you to use the dock chargers for the pro controllers it's pretty awesome. Only complaint is that the velcro strap should be a little longer so I'm able to tighten the straps more than I currently can.
Dang, I already have the Kiwis. These are a contender! Are they longer than the Kiwis and do they fit in C2 case? Don't suppose you have some callipers to measure the thickness so can more easily compare?
Hey Jay those tail ends wrap around to the circle grommet on the other side of the strap
Hi you are the best
Can you please do a battery test for that one? I bought mine but notice that my charging time is around 3 hrs aprox even though on their website it says 6 hrs. Mine also only lasts around 10 hrs or more playing time in intense games.
@JayBratt Do the fit in one another? And do they fit in the BoboVR C2 case?
Just wanted to let you know that you convinced me to get a set of these (my rechargeable batteries for my currently controllers were getting worse and worse). I reached out to the company about replacement batteries and they say they plan to sell the batteries separately (my biggest concern). Thanks again for your videos.
I'm so happy to hear that Austin! When you get them I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm getting a second set in white myself just to replace my other kiwis!
@@jaybratt I am staying away from white as good as they look I do sweat quite easily and they would look grubby in no time so tli thought the black was a better choice (using the black Kiwis at the moment).
@@Parzival1702 smart!
Oh yeah, our boy Jaybratt at it again! Im here representing Everett Wa! JB VR Crew for life.
That's less than 4 hours from where we're at!!! We gotta come host some VR thing up in Seattle sometime and have people come out!
Intersting.Didnt know about Aubika.Well they kinda look like an Xxx thing 😂 but i lije the charging function.Not bad at all but i like the first Kiwis best(my hands are not so big)
Another day, another Jaybratt video
Is this charging cable usb-c?
Hmm jay i need your help with this. I have the kiwi short grips do you think i should buy rechargeable batteries or the aubikas that you reviewed here?
I was never in love with the short kiwi's personally. They just didn't feel as quality as the Top Version that came later. Me, I'd just spring for these new grips. At $30 you get the grips plus batteries which I think is very worth it.
Thanks jay
I used to use 1.2 volt batteries but they were 2800 milliamp hours and I didn’t have any issues with tracking
How are they one year later?
So I wear about six pounds on each arm while playing beat saber this includes a pair of 1 lb each weighted gloves as I play, I'm on expert fast song, find myself losing my grip on the controller do you think either one of the fair mentions in this video would help correct that
Jay, are you gonna do a review/gameplay video on among us?
I tried the Kiwi's and hd to return them, I found they were too bulky. I had to adjust my grip to reach some of the buttons. These look thinner, hopefully they'll be a better fit for me than the Kiwi's
I think these are definitely a better middle ground between the stock and the Kiwi's. I'm really happy with the feel and the fact I can just charge them... GREAT!
There are official from Meta released now. A Review would be nice
there will probably be other companies making better batteries for the strap. If there are any issues
While I like the Kiwi grips, I mostly play Beat Saber and have found that the grips are very heavy for playing Beat Saber at high levels. Not only the weight but the length of them makes using claw grip more difficult. Aaand there's the issue with the floppy draw tab that slaps around while Beat Sabering. Really not the best grips for Beat Saber players, unfortunately. I have had to take mine off in order to really play harder songs. Previously I had the older / shorter Kiwi grips - they were lighter and smaller so worked a bit better but the velcro on them wore out really fast and the straps basically stopped holding together. Alas, I now use no grips (unless I decide to play something other than Beat Saber for a while).
That's really helpful information! We received the kiwi grips a few days ago and likewise have found them too heavy for high levels of Beat Saber. Have you ever tried grips that don't make the controllers longer such as the AMVR ones? We sometimes lose hold of the controllers, so I would like to find some kind of knuckle straps if possible...
0:28 Finally! I totally missed that with the Quest Pro footage...
Weirdly enough the Aubikas are more expensive than the Kiwis (if anyone saw my first comment on them being more than twice the price, that was for the simple ones I saw for around 20, the ones Jay uses/used are 40 and the Aubikas are 50)
One question how would I put these in my bobovr case, since the controllers are longer than normal?
Yeah there's enough room as long as you seat the grips inside each other they'll still fit. You can see some example here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsyPeAP6oXXR0?feature=share
Since when can you zoom in upto 8x
Could you recommend these to smaller hands? I've been using the smaller kiwi grips as I have smaller hands but can get a bit uncomfortable after a while
I think these would work well for smaller hands too. Nat tried them and really likes the contour for her hands.
Does anybody know how to take these off of the controllers?
I'd get them but I'd like them in white to match the controller the ones I got at moment blend so well you would think it was standard
I saw there are whites😀
I have had the Kiwi's for quite a while and really love them. While I do like the concept here there are two question/concerns. First the question is whether these show the battery voltage in the headset. This is very useful and would be highly desirable. Second the main concern I have with these is the battery shape. The size does not bother me but being such a weird shape means you cannot use just any battery out on the market and if you need to get a replacement battery (like BoboVR for instance) then this is going to be very hard. This is what stops me from getting these. Just my observation.
By the looks of it you can actually use any old battery in there, just that it won't be connected to the charging port.. so you'd need to slide the grips off to change it
I just got mine today and I can verify that it does show battery life for the controllers in the Quest2 menu while using these.
AMVR grips! especially the ones that came with the charging dock!
I still use those on my PC headset! I love the Kiwi's but for really fast Beat Saber the weight savings of the AMVR was nice on my wrists and shoulders.
@@jaybratt Oh cool - I think this answers the question I just asked about which grips are good for fast Beat Saber levels 🙂
ngl those grips actually look very versatile, having them be a full AIO controller, not having to replace the battery. It's like another Q2 but you can't play games on it 😂
*does anyone know how to install software onto controllers to run games?* (i know you can't do it btw)
I got these for Xmas, I’m not sure they feel right for me, the upper part of the strap makes my hand feel slightly lower, makes getting to buttons a little awkward but I’m really not sure if this is all placebo… anyone else compared these to just a simple pair VR Cover straps?
I've had the VR cover straps too. With these try not tightening down the hand straps quite so much. It doesn't have to be super tight to stay on. See if that allows you to reach better. If not you could swap them for some vrcover or amvr hand straps amzn.to/3YV1VIU Because those don't lengthen the controller you'll still have the usual access to buttons you did before.
Hey Jaybratt u might notice I wasn’t commenting on ur vids well I have covid and sick rn but I will be here for the giveaway and just wanted to say have an amazing day
Good to see you Kevin! Hope you can get plenty of rest and get well quickly!
@@jaybratt yeah u hope so too
I was hoping these had lithium batteries. Lithium rechargables are 1.5 volt. I'm sure they would cost more. Maybe it's something Aubika isn't in a position to do, or maybe they just chose nickel metal hydride to hit that lower price.
Quick question will these interlock and fit in the bobovr case?
Yeah. They fit even better than my kiwis did
@@jaybratt thanks for the quick response Jay
Aubika doesn’t sell the Quest 2 grips anymore (unless they just have to restock)
Where can you get replacement batteries if needed? These look exclusive to Aubika and they don't show any on their page. Thanks.
The kit is brand new but they said if anyone needs a replacement early they'd send them one and they can start selling them down the road too.
@@jaybratt thanks for your reply!
Not the skylar white face in the thumbnail 😭
Put mag tips on em!
Are the links to the grips because I can't find them?
In some countries where the grips aren't available it takes you to a "close option".. Amazon's idea of what a close option is at least. They may have only launched in the US so far ☹️
Good to see you Matilda!
Nice grips but too big for my hands!
Hello Jay!
I would like to buy these but the code doesent work :/

Are these out yet? Because the links only show Kiwi Grips

These grips block a sensor on the front
5:09, The Kiwi grips completely block the front sensors but these just barely cover part of them.
We show that off with the IR camera as Assassin here pointed out. These still aren't perfect but cover much less than the Kiwi's at least.
