Oculus Quest 2 Saber Handles + accessibility features

thingiverse

Hello Oculus Quest 2 fans! NOTE: This thing has been updated here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5146370 After exploring a few existing saber handle designs for Oculus Quest 2, I decided to design my own. I not only wanted a solid, comfortable handle for playing Beat Saber & other games, but I was also interested in adding accessibility features that would allow me to optionally add hand straps, wrist straps, and button/joystick extenders. Why you may ask? Well, I not only designed these handles for me... I designed them so that my 17 yr old nephew could also enjoy the Oculus Quest 2! He was recently in a diving accident which seriously injured his spinal cord. He is unable to walk or stand without assistance and he has limited function of his hands/fingers. Fortunately, with these controller adaptations, there are MANY apps (including Beat Saber, Walkabout Mini-golf, VR Fishing, YouTube VR, etc.) that he has been able to play and enjoy! The dual hand & wrist straps secure the controller handles without requiring the user's grip. Also, the optional top button panel extends the joystick and 3 buttons (A/B/Oculus) so they can be accessed/pressed without use of fingers/thumb. This design can be utilized/customized many ways. Comfortably use original rope controller strap with these handles (via pass-through hole) or add optional velcro hand straps. I expect most users will only use the handles & side button (without velcro straps or top button/joystick extenders). These handles feel solid & comfortable, especially with tennis handle tape. When I transitioned back to original Quest 2 controllers to play Beat Saber, the difference was remarkable! The original controllers felt loose and slippery compared to using these grip handles. STL files (basic): -oculus-2-handle-10-top-right.stl ... This is the top half of right controller. -oculus-2-handle-10-bottom-right.stl ... This is the bottom half of right controller. -side-button-2.stl ... This is the small button extender for the controller side button (left/right). NOTES: -Use mirror feature (available in Cura) to reverse right controller parts when creating parts for left controller. -Be sure to review recommended printer settings to ensure strong parts. -Secure top/bottom controller parts using strong tape and Tennis handle wrap. -OPTIONAL: Use 3/4" velcro (or similar) to add hand & wrist straps to controller Optional STL files (additional accessibility to extend top buttons and joystick): -joystick-full-2.stl ... This is joystick extender to allow use of joystick by other hand. -top-button-panel-2.stl ... This is top button panel overlay which is held in place by top handle. -top-button-1.stl ... This is button extender for A, B, and Oculus buttons I would love to hear from other users! I especially hope the accessibility features help those with disabilities experience and enjoy the Oculus Quest 2 VR world! Feel free to reach-out with any questions or suggestions!
