Dive to VR space with a charging dock for the anchor Oculus Quest 2 !!

"Oculus Quest 2" is a third -generation model of Facebook standalone type VR device.Upgrade the SoC to "Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2" to increase memory and storage.Furthermore, the display is high resolution and speeding up.The topic was that the 64GB model was 37,180 yen and the 256GB model was 49,280 yen while improving the specifications.

I purchased Oculus Quest 2 and dive into the VR space every day, but one of the few dissatisfaction is the trouble of charging.Unlike the latest smartphones, wireless charging cannot be performed, and the battery level of the controller is also troublesome.The dedicated charging dock "Anker Charging Dock for Oculus Quest 2" (9,990 yen) was solved quickly.Since I tried to use this product on June 15, I will review the nice, bimyo, and what I want to say.

In addition, the product sales site and press release described "Oculus Quest 2 Elite cannot be charged (or not used). Please be sure to remove it before using this product."Although it was done, I was able to use "Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap Battery" that I couldn't use when I contacted Anker, and I got an answer that "Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap" could be used.

"Oculus Ready" has been acquired, so you can rest assured

This product "Anker Charging Dock for Oculus Quest 2" is a charging dock for Oculus Quest 2.Oculus Quest 2 and the attached controller enable charging as much as "almost" to be placed (almost ... we will explain later ...).By the way, "Oculus Ready Certification", which is ink from Oculus, has been acquired, so it can be used with confidence.

Anker Charging Dock's nice place

The setup is easy.Put the "magnetic USB-C plug" on the headset, and the "rechargeable battery (single 3)" on the controller and attach the "replacement battery cover".You do not need a driver in particular.It is necessary to contact the contact part of the rechargeable battery and the replacement battery cover, but the alignment will not fail because it is not severe.

The shape of the charging dock is perfect just because you have obtained "Oculus Ready".The headset and controller fit smoothly.

At the beginning, I stated that I just put "almost" ... but as far as I tried, I put the headset straight from above, and the "magnetic output connector" did not adsorb the "magnetic USB plug".If you tilt the headset a little and set the two to get closer, it will almost adsorb, but it is not 100 %.Well, if you press the magnetic output connector lightly with your finger, you will not care, so I decided not to worry.

Up to 18W can charge quickly, about 2.It will be fully charged in 5 hours.It is equipped with a multiple protection system such as overcharging function, temperature control, and over voltage prevention, and has a sense of security unique to Anker.

Anker Charging Dock Bimyo

What I was in trouble with when I actually used this product was the place.Anker Charging Dock itself is 38 x 8.It is not so large at 5x7cm/about 964g, but if you put a headset, the depth will naturally increase.Now I temporarily put it on the side table, but ultimately I want to clean up the room and move to the metal rack.

Another inconvenience is that you have to remove the "magnetic USB plug" when connecting to a PC with a USB cable to use the "Oculus Link" function that operates a PC VR.However, recently I use the "Oculus Air Link" function that connects to a PC wirelessly, so it is no problem personally.

Finally, I am worried about whether the "rechargeable battery (AA type)" attached to this product can be purchased alone.

It may be too early because it is described in the specification table that it can be charged 500 times, but even if "Oculus Quest 3 (provisional)" is released, it will be used as a sub -machine.I am worried about the acquisition of rechargeable batteries, which are consumables.When I checked with Anker if the rechargeable battery would be sold alone, he said, "There is no plan at the moment."Gakushi.

Where I want to let Anker Charging Dock say

Oh yeah, one request to Anker is to say, "I want to hang a wall."

We are aware that it is difficult to hang the wall as it is.However, the space that is full of gadgets in the room is about the wall.We would appreciate it if you could consider the wall hanging on the charging dock for "Oculus Quest 3 (provisional)".
