CyberPen (Quest 3/3S Penhold Table Tennis Adapter) v2.0 Changelog

Thanks to community feedback, we’ve enhanced several features of the CyberPen Quest 3 Table Tennis Adapter.

(Shop links: UK | EU | other countries with local sellers )

Here are the key differences between v1 and v2:

  • The controller has been moved from near the wrist to between the thumb and index fingers, providing much better balance.
  • Instead of a metal screw, now a 3d printed “bottle cap” is used to fasten the controller, making it even more convenient to install the adapter.
  • The adapter now has a full size paddle surface. This makes the realistic balance easier to achieve, because the tip of the paddle is now further away from the hand.
    (Bonus: It can be used to play real life table tennis, and works fairly well!)
  • A hole is added for attaching the wrist strap, providing more safety.
  • The adapter now has Chinese Penhold handle by default. There is a JPen addon included that can be glued onto the handle and make it into JPen.
  • Improved the strength of various places.

As a real life penholder for 20 years, I am very happy to have finalized CyberPen v2. This has brought the pleasure of using Quest 3 with penhold style to another level, enough to make me put down shakehand style and fully transit into a penholder player. I hope the other penholders are going to feel the joy as well.

The latest version of the SolidSlime Table Tennis Adapter for Quest 3 can be purchased here.

Announcing CyberPen Quest 3: The PENHOLD adapter

Hi all, I’m happy to announce CyberPen: the first known Q3 PENHOLD adapter that doesn’t suffer from any obvious tracking problem in any strokes, no matter RPB or TPB(*).

Comfort-wise, this adapter supplies the FULL racket surface, thus is suitable for all kinds of finger placement. It also has a handle that is a combination of both CPen and JPen.
Since the Q3 controller is placed near the handle, we use various methods to adjust the center of weight upwards (varied infill, rubbers, possibility to add additional weight). The result center of weight is slightly above the handle top edge. Not particularly like realistic paddles, but is surprisingly comfortable to swing around.

As always, the adapter is available at https://vrpingpong.net/ along with the adapters for other styles and other devices.

(*)RPB: Reverse Penhold Backhand
TPB: Traditional Penhold Block

Below is a demo of the adapter!

Penhold adapter v2 for Eleven Table Tennis on Quest 2

Attention, PENHOLD players in the VR world!

We understand your struggles and are thrilled to present an adapter that exceeds all your expectations. Say goodbye to compromises and embrace a superior TT experience with the SolidSlime Penhold adapter v2 for Quest 2.

Drawing from my personal experience of two decades in penhold play (only adopting shakehand since I started playing Eleven Table Tennis!), I was deeply frustrated by the lack of a comprehensive solution. That’s why I collaborated with esteemed penhold players like FocusGUANfor several months, and today, I’m proud to announce the launch of the Penhold adapter v2!

Designed and meticulously tested, this game-changing adapter is now available for order in our shop, with worldwide partners synchronized for a seamless experience. The shop address is at https://vrpingpong.net/ .

Similar to our adapters for other handle types (FL/ST/AN), the CPen adapter features user-friendly thumb screws, allowing effortless installation and removal in a matter of seconds. However, what truly sets the CPen adapter apart are its unique design elements catered specifically to penhold players. Take a look at the image below to see for yourself.

The most significant improvement in this version is the ample space on the backside, providing a comfortable fit for all your fingers. Whether you prefer the reverse penhold backhand (RPB) or the traditional penhold block (TPB), this adapter will feel just as comfortable and natural as your real-life racket.

We are incredibly proud and excited about the outcome of this project, and we genuinely believe it will bring immense joy to countless penhold players like you.
