    Hi FrayFrayIsHere ğŸ™‚

    Unfortunately, you can no longer purchase replacement parts for the Rift S on the Meta website.
    You can contact support, they may still have cables in stock... but I doubt it.
    Send a PM to @MetaQuestSupport.
    Click on the name and then click "Send Message."

    Other option is buying a used cable on eBay.

That's a bummer as I dont see the point in the quest options, I primarily sit down for VR due to mobility issues and I can't deal with the battery life being so terrible, then having to get up and charge. That's why I kept with the rift s.

    You can use head straps with additional batteries for the Quest.

    There are hot-swappable head straps, so you can use multiple batteries to extend the Quest's battery life.

    You don't have to get up, you don't even have to take off the headset to do that.

    FrayFrayIsHere  you can use the quest headsets for PCVR. If you PC has a PD USB port or you can use aftermarket cables that do data and power delivery, then you don't need to rely on the headset battery.

      Do you have any links or something that I can better understand? Not me being funny I'm just not all that clued up with the quests.

        You have the pretty comfortable Rift S now.
        Believe me..... even without needing an external battery by following Anonymous instructions...... you will buy another headstrap anyway.
        The Quest headstraps are terrible.😂

        And sometimes it's nice not having a cable hanging in your back.
