### **FAQs**

**What equipment do you need for VR?**

The equipment needed depends on the VR headset you buy. Some devices, like the Meta Quest 3, are entirely standalone, which means you don't need anything but the headset itself to use it. Other VR headsets need to be connected to a system from which it can draw power and run software.

**What's the difference between PC VR, Smartphone VR and Gaming Console VR?**

The main difference between those three VR systems is the main machine that allows the VR headset to run. PC VR headsets require a PC, like a gaming laptop or desktop, to run, while smartphone and gaming console VR systems require smartphones and gaming consoles, respectively, to work.

**Do all VR headsets need a phone?**

No, not all VR headsets need a phone to work. Many VR headsets have built-in displays that sit in front of your eyes and basically act as your window into the virtual world.
 
I gotta correct you - those Ringside Weighted Exercise Gloves are actually designed for boxing sims like Creed: Rise to Glory, not just any workout ๐ŸฅŠ. And, btw, Meta's Headset Charging Station is a game-changer - I mean, who doesn't love keeping their headset organized and charged all the time? ๐Ÿ˜… Also, note that PC VR headsets usually need a decent graphics card to run smoothly, so don't even think about using your old laptop for it ๐Ÿ’ป.
 
I'm so over the cable management systems ๐Ÿคฏ. Like, come on NexiGo can't you just design something that's not so cluttered? I saw their system at a VR meetup and it was literally hanging from the ceiling with cables everywhere. It looks like a hot mess ๐Ÿšฎ. And $X is way too much for something that's just supposed to be keeping your cables organized. I mean, it's 2025 and we should have more advanced tech than this ๐Ÿ˜’. And what's with Meta not releasing their own proper charging station? It's like they're trying to make us deal with all the extra cables ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
 
I think it's kinda cool that we got so many options for VR accessories now ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ป like those weighted exercise gloves, Skywin VR Mat - who knew working out in VR could be a thing? ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ I also love how some of these accessories are like, super practical, you know, like the Meta's Headset Charging Station or that cable management system. That stuff is gonna save me so much hassle when my Quest 3s get all tangled up ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’ธ
 
VR accessories are getting better ๐Ÿคฉ I mean, think about it, you gotta have some basic setup before you start exploring new worlds. Like that Casematix Hard Case for carrying all your gear around โ€“ super useful! ๐Ÿ’บ And what's up with Meta's Link Cable? It's like they're trying to make VR as seamless as possible. The Ringside Weighted Exercise Gloves are a cool touch too, especially if you're into boxing sims ๐ŸฅŠ. But gotta say, I'm still waiting for some affordable options for charging and battery life โ€“ it's getting frustrating when your headset dies in the middle of a session ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
 
VR is just getting out of hand ๐Ÿคฏ. First it's like wearing a helmet in my living room, now I gotta worry about weighted gloves for boxing sims? 2-pound and 4-pound versions... what's next, weightlifting while gaming? ๐Ÿ˜‚ I mean, I'm all for immersive experiences, but come on! Can't we just stick to playing games without having to lift weights or wear silly exercise gloves? And don't even get me started on the cables, do we really need a whole system to manage them? Just give me a simple way to plug in my headset and controllers already! ๐Ÿ™„
 
I just read about these cool VR accessories ๐Ÿ˜Š and I gotta say, $35 for a carrying case is a bit steep, don't you think? ๐Ÿค‘ I mean, it's sturdy and all, but 35 bucks seems like too much to me. I'd rather spend that cash on the headset itself. Maybe they should offer a cheaper version of the case or something? ๐Ÿ˜…
 
I think its kinda interesting how we're getting more comfy with these new techs like VR... I mean, who would've thought that somethin' like a weighted exercise glove would be a thing? Like, we're still tryna figure out what's real and what's not, but at least we can workout in it ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And its crazy how much we rely on cables & stuff, I mean, have you seen them VR cable management systems? That's some wild tech right there... I feel like its a good reminder that even with all the advancements, we're still humans, and our needs are pretty basic ๐Ÿค”
 
I'm so confused with all these different types of VR accessories ๐Ÿคฏ I mean, do you really need like 16 feet long cables ๐Ÿ˜‚ just to play games or watch vids? Can't we just have some universal accessories that work for everything? And what's up with the whole PC vs smartphone vs gaming console thing? Can someone just make me a one-stop-shop VR solution? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
omg I'm so hyped for this meta quest 3 lol who else is getting one ASAP? ๐Ÿคฏ I've been waiting for a decent vr headset for ages and it's finally here! $35 for that casematix hard case tho? that's a no brainer for me, gotta protect my investment ๐Ÿ’ป I also love the idea of ringside weighted exercise gloves, who knew boxing sims could be so immersive ๐ŸฅŠ but seriously, how much is the skywin vr mat gonna cost? don't wanna step out of bounds mid-game ๐Ÿ˜…
 
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE NEW VR ACCESSORIES!!! ๐Ÿคฏ I recently got my hands on some sweet new gear for my Quest 3s and let me tell you, it's been a total game changer! First of all, that Meta Link Cable is a MUST HAVE - I mean who needs to deal with tangled cables when you can have a super long, durable one that's over 16 feet long?!? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ It's also so cool that there are weighted exercise gloves like Ringside Weighted Exercise Gloves - I've been using them for boxing sims and it feels SO much more immersive! And can we talk about how awesome the Skywin VR Mat is? I was skeptical at first, but it really does make a big difference in tracking and comfort. Overall, these new accessories are taking my VR experience to the next level! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
I'm getting more excited about buying a new Meta Quest 3 ๐Ÿคฉ! So many cool accessories out there, like that Ringside Weighted Exercise Gloves thingy - just imagine doing workouts while playing Creed: Rise to Glory ๐Ÿ˜…! I need to check out the NexiGo's VR Cable Management System too, it looks super useful for keeping everything organized ๐Ÿ’ป. But what really got me thinking is how some VR headsets don't even need a phone, that's wild ๐Ÿคฏ! Anyone else getting ready to join the VR party?

omg, i'm so glad they're talking about vr accessories now lol ๐Ÿคฏ i mean, who doesn't love having their gear protected by a sturdy hard case? ๐Ÿ’ป like casematix's hard case is a game changer ($35, btw... thats a steal!) and the meta link cable is super convenient too ๐Ÿ‘ especially for those using the quest 3s. but ugh, can we talk about how confusing it is with all these different vr systems?! ๐Ÿค” pc vr, smartphone vr, gaming console vr... which one do i need? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ anyone have a sec to explain?
 
so i just read about this list of best vr accessories ๐Ÿค”... seems like you gotta shell out some cash for all those fancy things ๐Ÿค‘, but idk if it's worth it? have any of you guys tried using weighted exercise gloves while playing boxing sims? ๐Ÿ˜‚ and what's up with meta making its own cables and stuff? is that just lazy or what? ๐Ÿ’ธ also, i'm a bit confused about the whole pc vs smartphone vs gaming console thing... can someone explain that to me in simple terms? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
I'm loving the new Meta Quest 3s ๐Ÿคฉ! They're so cool with their advanced graphics and motion controls. But, you know what's even cooler? The accessories they come with ๐Ÿ’ก like the Casematix Hard Case that's perfect for carrying them around without getting damaged. I also saw those Ringside Weighted Exercise Gloves that are a total game-changer for VR fitness classes ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ. And can we talk about how awesome it is to have options for cable management and charging stations? It's like they're thinking of us, the VR enthusiasts ๐Ÿ˜Š.
 
So I've been playing around with this VR thingy and I gotta say it's pretty cool! But you know what's even cooler? Having all these fancy accessories to make it even better ๐Ÿคฉ. I mean, a good case for my headset that can also store my controllers is like, the best thing ever - $35 isn't too shabby either ๐Ÿ’ธ.

And have you seen those weighted exercise gloves? 2 pounds and 4 pounds versions? That's some intense boxing simulator action right there ๐ŸฅŠ. And I love how they make it so I don't wanna step out of the boundaries - like, I'm in the zone or something ๐Ÿ˜‚.

But seriously, what's up with all these cables and chargers? It's like they're trying to confuse me on purpose ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. A cable management system that comes with ceiling hooks and adhesive fasteners sounds like a total game-changer - I need that in my life! ๐Ÿ’ก
 
I just started using my new VR headset and I'm loving it! But honestly, the real game-changer for me is the cable management system - $X for a sweet deal ๐Ÿค‘. I was getting so tired of dealing with tangled wires all the time. Now I can just hook everything up to the charging station and forget about it ๐Ÿ˜Œ. Anybody else notice how annoying cable clutter can be? ๐Ÿ‘Ž
 
just saw the meta quest 3 is $100 more than the old one ๐Ÿค‘ they also changed the controllers now we got to pay extra for a cable management system because apparently VR tech requires a lot of cables ๐Ÿ˜’
