I have two kids around middle school aged. The younger of the two, my son, likes these handle extenders for beat saber and many of the other games, but most of all, Gorilla Tag where he says it gives him better lower and higher reach. He’s able to move a bit faster but in general able to reach better in the game. His friends tend to feel the same, though one doesn't like extenders.
My daughter, who’s about 2 years older and taller doesn’t like these handle extenders in general and prefers to play without any extenders. Her friends (girls) feel the same way and take off the extenders.
The handle extenders are easy to attach to the controller, if you put the velcro buckle part halfway between the controller and the extender. Then you’re able to really sinch down the Velcro for a strong, wiggle-free attached extender.
I attached a picture (hopefully) that shows the buckle position best on the side of the extenders.
Once attached, the grips are soft and spongey. But, look-out! These make the entire controller just over 11 inches long. Much easier to hit the wall, people walking by, unsuspecting cats, etc. Each extender does come with a lanyard, which I would agree is best to actually use!
The extenders can be attached to themselves and both controllers to create a single long staff just about 28 inches long. My son’s only ever used that configuration in Beat Saber and says it’s “ok fun” but prefers the controllers separated.
These extenders come in nicely printed and packed retail packaging making them a fun gift. They do exactly as promised and if you sinch them down tight, they are solid extenders.
