Best Quest Pro accessories: What’s in the box and what else you need

Unlike the Quest 2, which requires a ton of accessories and modifications to get the best experience, the $1,500 Meta Quest Pro doesn’t require mods and has several useful accessories out of the box. Still, there are a few Quest Pro accessories that you may want to buy, depending on what you want to use it for. 

You’ve already spent a lot on the headset, so we won’t try to sell you stuff you don’t use. Here’s what you need to know, including what comes in the box with the Meta Quest Pro and the best Quest Pro accessories that you’ll actually need.

The most important bundled accessory with the Meta Quest Pro are the Quest Pro controllers, as well as detachable stylus tips. Measuring 130 x 70 x 62mm (5.1 x 2.75 x 2.4 inches), the Pro controllers have a Snapdragon 662 chip inside of them to power three tracking cameras each. Where the Oculus Touch controllers are tracked by the headset and can lose tracking in dead zones above your head or behind your back, you’ll never lose positioning with these.

They also have enhanced TruTouch Haptics that make you feel like you’re actually gripping virtual objects or writing on a virtual dashboard. Add in 1-to-1 finger tracking and “precision pinch movements,” and these are the best VR controllers we’ve ever tested. They’re even compatible with the Quest 2, though you’ll have to buy them separately for $300. 

The Quest Pro also comes with a partial light blocker facial interface, which magnetically attaches to either side of the headset. By default, you can use the Quest Pro without anything blocking your surroundings. Our tester Nick Sutrich said he felt “more confident of my actions in mixed-reality applications” without the blockers because he could see the full room and possible trip hazards at all times. But if you’re working at a desk, these partial blockers will keep you focused.
