This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2024

Two of the biggest gripes I have with my family’s new Meta Quest 3S — if you can really call them that — can be solved in one go, with a pretty useful accessory. First, the stock head strap is uncomfortable and I wish the battery life were just a little better. Well, KIWI Design has a Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessory that fixes both of those quirks. The K4 Boost comfort strap also includes a built-in battery that adds an extra 2.5 hours of playtime. It’s more comfortable to wear, too. But here’s the best part: It’s only $40 in a Cyber Monday deal. Normally $70, that saves you $30. And don’t fret if you think you missed out on the best Cyber Monday deals, many of them are still available to shop, like this one.

Why shop the KIWI Design K4 Boost Comfort and Battery Strap for Meta Quest 3 and 3S

The KIWI Design K4 Boost is both a comfort-oriented strap and a battery life extender thanks to a built-in battery. You get an extra 2.5 to 3 hours of wireless playtime while it’s charged. Moreover, it supports dual fast charging so both the battery and the Quest unit charge with minimal delays.

One of the more useful features of this headstrap is the adjustment system. You can easily take the Meta Quest 3 or 3S off, readjust the strap, and put it back on. That also goes for swapping players, which can be a tad frustrating when you’re using the stock strap. That’s because on the KIWI straps you use a rear-mounted dial that’s as simple as twisting a knob. You put the headset on, twist the knob to tighten the strap and that’s it. It’s super simple and you’ll be amazed at how fast and how well it works. I was too.

You don’t have to worry about the strap adding too much weight to the whole setup either. Even with the battery, it’s relatively light at 0.8 pounds. That still gives you plenty of maneuverability while wearing the headset. Anything that would bog down the set and your head would make moving around more difficult. That’s certainly not the case here. Plus, a little added weight is a decent trade-off for more playtime. I’ve noticed during use that my family burns through the battery pretty fast, especially while playing some Beat Saber.

For Cyber Monday, the price of the KIWI Design K4 Boost headset is now $40, normally $70. That’s a great offer on a fantastic Meta Quest 3 and 3s accessory.

This (Oculus) Meta Quest 2 Black Friday deal ends soon — get it now
Meta's Quest 2 can track your hands allowing you to manipulate virtual objects.

Sadly, many excellent Black Friday deals are over, but if you've missed out, luckily there are still some great deals floating around. For example, if you've been wanting to get into VR and have been waiting for a Black Friday deal, this Meta Quest 2 is still on sale at Walmart for $349, rather than its usual $400 price tag. Even better, Walmart has thrown in two free games; the excellent Beat Saber, which will help keep you active and fit, and Resident Evil 4.. If that seems like a great deal to you, then we encourage you to grab it quickly rather than waiting for Cyber Monday deals; we've already seen a lot of similar sales from Black Friday expire and don't know if they'll show up on Cyber Monday.

Why you should buy the Meta Quest 2 + Beat Saber + Resident Evil 4 bundle
The Meta Quest 2, formerly known as the Oculus Quest 2, is a standalone virtual reality headset that has dominated Steam. As it doesn't need to be linked to a powerful gaming PC, it's a relatively affordable way of getting into VR, and there's no risk of running into wires and cables. While there have already been comparisons between the rumored Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 2, the latter remains the prime choice for VR gaming, until at least the announcement of its successor. the headset comes with a pair of Touch controllers

Lunar Remastered Collection is my new favorite retro RPG package
Lunar Remastered Collection protagonists

In Lunar Remastered Collection, it’s the little touches that matter. For instance, the RPG collection reminds me that I love being able to save my progress any time, anywhere.

I remember playing Digimon World 3 on the original PlayStation when I was a little kid and not knowing what saving my gameplay progress meant, or even that I needed a memory card to do so. Every time I booted up my game again, I’d start from the very beginning, thinking that this was supposed to happen. Then I got a Game Boy Color and played my first Pokémon game, the Gold version. It was a fellow six year old child who taught me that I needed to save my progress by going into the menu.

This $1,700 gaming handheld is a treat for Evangelion fans
OneXPlayer X1 Pro limited edition

The OneXPlayer X1 Pro is back on the market with a fresh, anime-inspired look, upgraded internals, and an absurdly high price point. If you haven't laid eyes on this handheld before, it's like the Microsoft Surface and the Nintendo Switch had a baby — and this particular model looks like it was delivered on the floor of an anime convention dedicated to Evangelion.

In addition to being a gaming handheld, it's also a 2-in-1 PC. A kickstand on the rear lets you prop up the screen, and it has a detachable keyboard — also Evangelion-themed — that you can remove on the fly. The gamepads on both sides of the screen give it the look of a bug with too-small wings, but they can be detached and used as a gamepad.
