KIWI Design K4 Boost Meta Quest 3 and 3S accessory deal

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.
