SolidSlime Quest 3 Pickleball/Tennis/Racket Club Adapter (v2)

Super stoked to share some cool news with you all! We’ve got a fresh new Quest 3 adapter hot off the printer, and it’s designed to level up your gaming experience across a bunch of awesome titles. Plus, it works with any game that lets you use custom positioning of the racket.

Here’s a list of the games I’ve tested it in (most of them have or will have built-in position profile for it soon).

Our main goal? Making sure your gameplay feels as real and on point as possible. That means nailing down the tracking and keeping things super immersive.

So, what’s new? Well, I’ve been digging deep into pickleball techniques lately, along with getting cozy with the Quest 3 controller tracking algorithm. With feedback from some awesome players and designers (big shoutout to wasyl00!), we’ve fine-tuned this bad boy to give you top-notch tracking for all your pickleball, tennis, and racket club moves.

And it’s not just about tracking this time around. We’ve also tweaked the balance to match up with the Ben Johns pickleball racket, simplified the installation process down to just one screw, and even added a wrist strap for some extra safety vibes.

I’m pretty jazzed about this version—it’s like the ultimate sidekick for all your favorite sports games with long-handled gear, whether you’re into pickleball, tennis, golf, or fishing.

Oh, and guess what? The latest update for Racket Club now lets you use any SolidSlime adapter with it. Sweet, right?

Thanks for being awesome and supporting what we do!

Catch you on the virtual court.

Announcing CyberPen Q3: 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
For video please search for “RPB vs TPB” on Youtube.

Below is a demo of the adapter!

SolidSlime Quest 3 Table Tennis Adapter Changelog: 2.1, 2.2

v2.1

  • The edge that clips to the battery compartment of the controller has been rounded. This makes it easier to put the controller in and out.

v2.2

  1. The nuts don’t fall out anymore.
  2. There is a hole at the bottom of the handle to allow wrist strap to be used.
  3. The nut and screws are also now perpendicular to the adapter surface.
  4. Now it should be possible to use the bulky rechargeable batteries that come with official Meta rechargeable dock. I haven’t tested this it because I don’t have that battery. The change is done based on customer feedback.

As always, if you have bought a SolidSlime adapter before and would like to upgrade to the new version, please reach out to me (thesolidslime@gmail.com) for discount. Thank you.
