5 Comments on Turtle Beach Announces Fuel Compact VR Charging Station for Meta Quest 2
I have a QC3.0 UPS capable battery bank (held in my pocket while i'm in VR) which runs to a magnetic pin elbow USBC on the headset that essentially extends the headset capacity and offers relatively equal recharging convenience, and it cost nothing close to what this dock is priced at. For the controllers - standard disposable AA's get a few months of average use.
Man, what's happened to Turtle Beach that they're reduced to selling generic charging cradles? At least when their focus was on headsets and soundcards they had a corporate identity, now they're just joining the mass of <randomly-generated company name> accessory for <popular tech product> on the flea-markets.
