These lengthened silicone grips feature an internal rechargeable design that replaces your existing controller battery with their own recharging pack, and to charge them, you simply recharge them by plugging in a dual USB charging cable into the bottom of each extended grip handle. They also feature an adjustable silicone knuckle strap that offers long-term comfort and grip.

I tried these grips out on several VR titles to ensure that the silicone around the grip button didn’t slide down during use and stop the button from working. This would only happen in games that use this button often, games like Beat Saber don’t use them so you wouldn’t feel the effect of them there. But I tried them on Half-Life Alyx and the silicone didn’t move enough to stop the grip button from working.

I usually find the extra length to really bulk up the grip, but these don’t do that as much as the Kiwi grips did, so that is a big plus for these grips. The length is only really to house the USB charging port, but that small extension is enough to change the feel slightly over the stock handles and other grips that just simply cover them.

Both batteries came with a decent level of charge in them, so you can play with them straight out of the box. Thanks to how efficient these Touch controllers are, I have yet to have these controllers run flat on me, so I can’t comment on their total battery life. But with each 1000 mAh battery pack inside them, they should last just as long as standard regular batteries or rechargeable batteries of a similar power level.

Charging them was easy and just as convenient as plugging in your headset to charge, and you can also use this cable to charge your headset too, so you don’t necessarily need to have two cables plugged into a wall socket. I can also see Aubika doing a docking station accessory for these grips alongside charging the headset, which would be good to see.

I found the knuckle straps were supportive enough on the back of my hands. I find a PU leather or fabric strap has less friction than silicone, so sliding these silicone straps on can take a little extra adjustment each time you put them on. The sliding adjustment button holes onto the cord worked well enough and I didn’t find them slipping or getting any looser. I would be cautious of how long this cord lasts over time though. But if you set the tension and leave it alone, they should last longer than if you constantly adjusted them and wore the cord out.

Overall, if you are interested in a pair of long controller grips with charging capability, these grips from Aubika are worth putting on your shortlist.
