Important installation tips:

Weight adjustment tips:
Although the adapter is already pretty light and well balanced, you can reduce the weight of the racket even further, if that is a goal:
- You can order AAA->AA battery adapter to use AAA batteries (saves about 10-20 gram).
On the contrary, if you would like to increase the weight the adapter, you can attach lead tapes or even coins to the surfaces of the adapter.
If you have a specific weight in mind, feel free to leave a note when you place the order!

Other notes
- Steam Frame Controllers are not included.
- COMPATIBLE with official Meta rechargeable battery and BOBOVR rechargeable battery (both usually come with the respective docking station).
- NOT COMPATIBLE with controller protective covers that will make the controller thicker.
- Due to the technology limitation of FDM printing, in rare cases there might be imperfection on some surfaces, but each adapter has been inspected carefully to make sure that even if those imperfections exist, the functionality would not be affected.
- I’m happy to listen to every user’s opinion and improve the design/process accordingly. I’m easily reachable on discord (solidslime) and email (thesolidslime@gmail.com). Don’t hesitate to contact me 🙂

The SolidSlime adapter for Steam Frame fits perfectly. The controller sits securely and doesn’t slip out, even on extremely fast strokes. Tracking is first-class and feels even better than it did with my Quest 3.
The adapter also feels good in the hand, with a realistic weight (compared to my real bat). Customer support was friendly and fast, and they helped me solve a problem I had. I can only recommend it.
