charging dock for Quest 3S

[dug60]

Hi All..... Does anyone ( which usually means everyone but me) know if it's possible to buy a wireless charging dock for the Quest 3s. i can find tons  of 'normal docks' but you have to use a cable to charge the headset  and i don't want to use a cable. spent the last few hours looking online but all the ones i find have the **bleep** cable. even went onto the meta quest store but they only show a dock for the Quest 3.... can everyone ( lololol)  point me in the right direction....or confirm that it is not possible to wirelessly charge the 3S........many thanks Dug

Hi @dug60 🙂

do you see the little holes?
That's where the pins from the charging dock connects to the Quest 3 for wireless charging.
The Quest 3S don't have these holes, so....no wireless charging for it.

Oh..ok.... I just thought as i did for my quest 2 that i could just insert a connector (it looked the the C cable connector without the cable) into the charging port and it was this that allowed the headset to be dropped into the charging dock and get charged wirelessly. same action for the two controllers.  Ok....i'll just have to go for a cabled charging dock.. many thanks for the reply much appreciated....Dug

@dug60  you could get a cheap charging dock and replace the cable for a magnetic one like this. you'd have to ensure that the magnetic cable end is near to where the charge port is. A small wire support [florists wire coiled round the cable] or a block of foam would be sufficient.
