- kitsunesoba 3y agoCounterweights are already a pretty common thing for existing VR headsets. Some people will strap a battery pack to the back strap of their headsets, and there's enough tethered players looking for plain counterweights that's there's a small cottage industry around custom made heavy metal counterweights. Here's the one that I bought to use with my "frankenquest" (Vive Deluxe Audio Strap on a Quest 2) setup: https://www.studioformcreative.com/product-page/vive-das-200-gram-7-oz-curved-counter-weight https://www.studioformcreative.com/product-page/vive-das-200...

I know it will take away from the mobility of the headset, but I am okay with being stuck to a 6ft radius while working. It could also charge through the ceiling.
