Razer reveals two new accessories for Meta Quest 3
The Meta Quest 3, much like its predecessor, can be improved upon with accessories that enhance certain aspects. And popular gaming peripheral company Razer has just revealed its two new accessories for the Quest 3 headset: a facial interface and a head strap.
The accessories are made in collaboration with ResMed, an American company focused on medical equipment. ResMed has over 30 years of experience designing equipment fit for the human form. So Razer’s Quest 3 accessories should work perfectly for a large number of consumers.

With a design approach driven by billions of hours of data, ResMed’s deep understanding of materials, geometry, and skin science informs every aspect of the products’ creation.

The facial interface clips onto your Quest 3 headset and features a cushioned layer made of hypoallergenic material that reduces skin irritation. It’s designed to block light as well as provide ventilation so it never gets too hot while retaining immersion.
The head strap is made of a nylon material for “reliability, comfort and durability” and the soft straps are adjustable. Razer claims the head strap can be adjusted on a diverse set of head shapes and sizes. The company also claims that the strap provides optimized weight distribution and can be slipped on quickly and easily.
Lastly, Razer’s head strap is compatible with the Meta Quest 3 charging dock. Which means it fits on it perfectly alongside the controllers and doesn’t need to be removed each time you need to charge your Quest 3.

Both the facial interface and the head strap cost $69.99 and can be bought separately or together here. The facial interface is pretty nifty, in my opinion, but I’d hold out for a strap with a battery.
And if Razer doesn’t have any plans for that, then the official elite strap with battery is honestly more useful to me. Though obviously it costs more too because of the inclusion of said battery.
The Meta Quest 3 is one of the best VR headsets on the market today. And third party accessories for it only solidify its place on that list. But now that Quest OS is open-source, I wonder if we’ll see other XR headsets in the future that are compatible with Quest 3 accessories.
