Hi, I've had my Oculus for about a year now, and the facial interface is starting to gradually wear down. I'm using the CV1 version. I don't really like any of the third party options from Amazon or other sites, is there a way to get another official interface made by Oculus?
I got the VR Cover standard set on Amazon and I can say it is way more comfortable than the Oculus one. There's a wide variety of opinions out there on the aftermarket facial interfaces, but for me this one works very well.
Seeing that there are replacements available for the facial interface made be a bit braver than I used to be. I have always wanted the headset to be a little closer to my face, I could tighten it fully but then it would get very uncomfortable after a few minutes. So I removed the foam from the facial interface, but then ripped it in half and just stuck the top section on. Now I have greatly improved comfort and field of view. Note that this may be because of my particular facial structure and may cause terrible results for you.
I agree the €39 for an official replacement are ridiculous, so is the price for the remote 🙂 But the price for the BASIC VRcover set with replacement intf, PU leather cover and fabric cover is reasonable seeing that all this is included, and despite some flaws (flipping and flopping fabric cover etc.) it's still better/more comfortable than the standard.
