Quest 3 Table Tennis Adapter v3.1 Changelog

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

Over the past weeks, we have been testing v3.1 both internally, and externally with several top level ETT players, with very positive feedback. With no more improvements in sight, we proudly present version 3.1 to the world.

Here are the key differences between v3.0 and v3.1:

Comparison

Adapter is now made ~2cm wider.
This will give more room for players with longer fingers.

Optimized the thread and the cap to make it much easier to put the cap on without putting too much stress on the adapter.

Added a hole near the bottom of the controller to let the LED there to shine through and get picked up by the headset cameras.
This has the effect of improving backhand tracking


Now there is a second place to attach the wrist strap: instead of threading the wrist strap into the bottom of the adapter handle.
You can now insert the wrist strap at the bottom of the controller (i.e. its original position).
The adapter will lock in the wrist strap connector, and then you can hook the wrist strap on one of the fingers.

Additionally, some places have been modified to increase structure strength.

Announcing SolidSlime Quest 3 Table Tennis Adapter v3.0

Hello everyone, I’m thrilled to introduce the latest innovation in table tennis adapters: SolidSlime v3.0 for Quest 3.

One of the most significant updates involves the attachment of the controller to the adapter: we’ve completely eliminated all metal components. Yes, you read that correctly. There are no screws or nuts involved anymore. Once the controller is inserted into the adapter, a simple “bottle cap” mechanism is used to secure the clamp. The entire installation process now takes just a swift 10 seconds, as illustrated in the following steps:

The handle surface now features a wood grain pattern that replicates the texture of a real racket. This not only enhances aesthetics but also reduces slipperiness by 50%. Early testers have reported a significant increase in confidence while swinging the racket.

The thickness of the “blade” part of the adapter has been increased from 10mm to 12mm. This adjustment brings it closer to the thickness of a real-life racket, enhancing the authentic feel. Moreover, it significantly improves structural integrity; as the saying goes, “it’s much harder to bend a box than a plank.”

Additionally, the position of the controller has been adjusted slightly to enhance tracking for large forehand loop swings.
During the design process, there was debate about whether to make this change, considering the already impressive performance of v2 (as seen in Dimitrij Ovtcharov’s footage).
However, after comprehensive testing conducted by a player with over 3100 Elo in ETT, it was concluded that this adjustment could further improve tracking, especially for forehand looping with wide strokes (deep low to high up). Consequently, the change was made.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Eleven Table Tennis community for their invaluable feedback on previous generations of the adapter.
Special thanks go to wasyl00 on Discord. His brilliant ideas and suggestions have played a pivotal role in shaping the current state of the adapter.

The v3 adapter is currently available for order through our local partners at https://VRPingPong.net .

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 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
For video please search for “RPB vs TPB” on Youtube.

Below is a demo of the adapter!
