ProStraps FAQ
· What is the difference between [MK2 Standalone for bare controllers] and [MK2 Upgrade for controller mounts]? For certain HMDs such as Quest 3, our ProStraps used with the controller mount replace the existing insert layer and are never attached directly to the controller. Due to ergonomics, the design has to be different for use with or without the controller mount. Standalone for bare controllers is for use with just the controllers, and does not work with any of our other products. Upgrade for controller mounts goes into your controller mount, and becomes a part of the controller mount, which combined does work with our other products. We call this new design MK2 respectively. We only offer MK1 or MK2 for any HMD. Quest Pro, Quest 3, Quest 3S only have MK2.
· What does [MK1 model usable with and without controller mounts] mean? This is the original design we now call MK1. Specifically, it installs on the controller itself at the top. At the bottom, it installs to the controller mount, or to the bottom of the controller. You can freely change it from installed to the bottom of the controller mount to the bottom of the controller or vice versa without needing another product, unlike MK2. We only offer MK1 or MK2 for any HMD. Quest 1, Rift S, Quest 2, and Pico 4 only have MK1.
· I bought a new headset and want controller mounts for them. Do I need to buy ProStraps again? The ProStraps for controller mounts can be reused, and you only have to buy the respective attachment found on this page.
· I got ProStraps for Quest 3 and want to use them both with and without the controller mounts. Do I have to buy them again? Go to this page and select the one you don't already have. If you already have the one for controller mounts, you want the one for bare controllers. This is not for a pair, you will need to buy 1x for Left hand, and 1x again for Right hand. Using it this way requires moving the ProStrap cushion pad from one to the other each time, but saves you money.
· Where are ProStraps for Rift CV1? We never made or sold ProStraps for Rift CV1. Afaik, ProStraps released in second half of 2020 for Rift S & Quest 1, with Quest 2 releasing later that year. If you want to use our ProStraps with Rift CV1 you would need to DIY how the strap attaches to the top of the controller. Could be as simple as looping something around the tracking ring, for the top part of the strap to attach to.
Quick Start Guide
Getting Started
Note: more detailed instructions, including videos, can be found in the Tutorial Chapter.
1. After unboxing, the first thing you need to do is get the mag cups (AKA controller mounts). They will be in their own bubble wrap bag, or already on the product (MagTube, Starter, ProTas, etc.). If they are, you can grab a cup firmly, and remove by using a doorknob twist motion.
2. On each cup will be writing to indicate if it is for the left or right controller. Underneath, where you see the magnet, you might also see some more writing indicating which brand the cups are for (i.e. Quest 2). Inside of the cups should be an inner layer. This allows for maximum friction to keep the controller in place. Please note: if you ordered ProStraps, they might already be pre-installed on the cups.
3. Before putting your controllers into the cups, it is suggested to wipe down the part of the controllers that will go inside. This is to ensure optimal friction so they do not slide out easily. Next, observe the small hole in the cup. This is intended for feeding the wrist strap through, and should be facing you, or away from the trigger button on the controller. The magnet on the bottom of the left cup should be angled towards the right, and the magnet on the bottom of the right cup angled towards the left.
4. Now you will need to install the ProStraps as shown in our Tutorials Chapter. Depending on your controller brand, and the state in which they were received (pre-installed vs separately) what you do may vary. But essentially, you need the bottom to be on the cup, and the top to either be connected to an insert you put inside your controller's battery cover, or inside the cup itself. Make sure to follow the tutorial for your controller brand. Once the ProStraps are correctly installed you may put your controllers into the cups.
5. To insert your controllers into the cups, simply start with the wrist strap and feed it through the small hole. Then push the controller into the cup until it cannot go any further. Use of excessive force is not required as it should easily go in until it hits friction, and then with a little bit of force you should be able to continue pushing in until it won't go any further. That is the point at which you should stop and it is considered installed in the cup. Please note: if you are using Index or PSVR 2, we have videos in Website tutorials under Cup.
