In this article, I will guide you through the process of charging your Oculus Quest 2 controllers, providing detailed instructions and adding my personal touches along the way.
Gathering the Equipment
Before we dive into the charging process, let’s gather the necessary equipment. To charge your Oculus Quest 2 controllers, you will need:
- The Oculus Quest 2 headset
- The Oculus Quest 2 charging cable (included with the headset)
- A USB power source (such as a computer USB port or a wall adapter)
Make sure you have all of these items readily available before proceeding.
Connecting the Controllers to the Charging Cable
Now that we have everything we need, it’s time to connect the controllers to the charging cable. Follow these steps:
- Locate the charging port on each controller. It is located at the bottom of the controller handle.
- Take the Oculus Quest 2 charging cable and gently insert the smaller end into one controller’s charging port. Repeat this step for the other controller.
- Ensure that the connection is secure by gently wiggling the cable. You should feel a slight resistance if the cable is properly inserted.
Connecting the Charging Cable to a Power Source
Now that the controllers are connected to the charging cable, it’s time to plug the cable into a power source. Follow these steps:

Charging Time and Status Checking
Once the controllers are connected to the power source, they will begin charging. The Oculus Quest 2 controllers typically take around 2 to 3 hours to fully charge, depending on the remaining battery level.
To check the charging status of your controllers, refer to the Oculus Quest 2 headset. When the controllers are connected and charging properly, a battery icon will appear on the Oculus Quest 2 headset display, indicating the current charging level of each controller. The icons will fill up as the controllers charge, giving you a visual indication of the progress.
