It is an absolute game changer to not have to worry about those and I would be hard pressed to go back. The removal of the tracking ring is the absolute unsung hero of these controllers. I also no longer hit my headset when putting on sunglasses, a hat, or reaching behind my back for an arrow for my quiver. No more crashing controllers together when drawing a bow, or hitting controllers together when grabbing something with two hands. I did not even consider the lack of a ring to be a plus or minus when I bought them, but after hours of playtime I notice they are not there and absolutely love it. The lack of a tracking ring: The pro controllers do not need the headset to track, they track themselves and therefore do not need the plastic ring that holds sensors to help with tracking. While they certainly are not as convenient as removable batteries, nor last nearly as long, I cannot really complain about them and do not consider them a deal breaker. I end up going a couple of nights without charging them and am just fine despite playing VR almost every night for a couple of hours. I don’t find myself needing to charge them every night either. Even with my long-lasting external battery pack, the pro controllers just keep going strong and hold their charge. Well, after a lot of use, I can say these rechargeable batteries really do last a solid 8 hours. Even when the batteries on the Quest 2 did need replacing, it just took a minute to swap them out. Considering Quest 2 controllers can get up to 30 hours of game time and last months for some people, it’s hard to imagine that rechargeable batteries you cannot replace would be better. The rechargeable battery: When I first bought the controllers, despite the reported 8 hour battery life Meta said they could last, I thought the whole concept of them would be a negative. It’s not a game changer, but certainly gives you a bit more grip to the controller and feels a bit more luxe. The pro controllers have a slight texture to them on the underneath (the part that faces away from you). The texture difference between the two controllers is very subtle. ![]() Your mileage may vary, but I find games where you are swinging a golf club or throwing a ball to have a bit more immersion. ![]() At first I was a bit put off by this, but honestly, they feel a bit more substantial and after hours of play, I quite like the feel. ![]() There is a noticeable difference when you pick them up. The weight and feel: The Meta Quest Pro controllers are slightly heavier than the Quest 2 controllers coming in at 164 grams vs 126 grams. Now that I’ve had some quality game time with them, I’ll give you my real world experience with them. In my previous two articles, I talked about the three reasons to buy Meta Quest Pro controllers and also documented the wonderful unboxing experience of them.
