UPGRADE PROTUBE TO MAGTUBE

Hello, fellow gamer!

If you are reading this, you are willing to upgrade your ProTube to the magnetic version, the MagTube. And increase your comfort while playing. We will help you to do it!

The MagTube allows you to detach the controllers (and its MagCups) from the frame without having to take the controllers off the cups.

We invite you to join our Discord community for any questions or directly contact us through our support service on our website.

Upgrading your ProTube to a MagTube should take 10 minutes.

For video setup, you can check our YouTube Playlist.

First, make sure you work in a clear area and be very careful. Some parts can get lost easily.

Thank you for choosing the best Virtual Reality stock rifle solution. But do not trust us by word, try it. And most importantly, enjoy your games!

Remove the old smooth 3D printed T-connection from the front longer tube. Replace it with the new magnetic bracket.
The magnet must face the other way to the rear magnetic bracket
(ex: to the left if you are right-handed).
