Here's for those who want to get some replacements for the Oculus Rift:

About time. A bit pricey but at least they are available. I hope i never need a new cable but if i do at least my rift is not bricked

Yes about time.

I've just ordered the 4m cable being as my wife has moved the furniture around (for the better). A bit pricey at £49 but needs must.

I just hope the sensor works as well at the extra distance although I doubt they would be releasing a cable that length if it didn't.

2 days shipping so hopefully all good for the weekend.

For what it's worth, the cable that comes with the Rift is already 4 meters long, and the replacement isn't an extension. If you need more cable length — I know I certainly do — then extension cables from Amazon or similar would probably work.

The faceplate replacement is 1/2 what it would cost at VR Cover (although they have more options). Nice to have available.

The ear buds are a worthy investment: easy to install and work very well. The only downside is they're not very shareable (from a hygiene perspective).

In that case I'm an idiot. I thought the original one was 3m.

Oh well, I may swap it out anyhow as mine's quite badly kinked near the HMD end.

I do have 6 inch or so HDMI/USB extensions to make it easier/quicker to plug in due to my cramped tower placement. I keep meaning to buy some longer ones but I can't seem to find any solid information on which ones work apart from a few from the states.

if i remember when i get home i will let you know which ones i used. it took a bit of faffing but mine finally works as it should, with 2m extensions for the hmd and 5m extensions for the sensors.

hdmi for HMD

usb for the HMD

note the usb for the hmd does work for me, but i would probably buy a better one TBH if i was doing it again, the amazon basics one seems a little better quality..... but my amazon basic cables i have are too long.

I have actually ordered the 1m KabelDirect ones from Amazon this morning so will see if these do the job.

Is the facial interface the same as the original one?

Along time ago I thought oculus would be bringing out alternatives for people who where glasses

 

[UniMag]

I'm happy to report the KabelDirect (1m) appear to work perfectly with my system.

Heck, they even daisy-chain fine with the 30cm extension cables I already have!
