The Meta Quest 2 is one of the best standalone VR headsets for most people. The best part is that you don’t have to connect it to a PC or a console to play games. You can download your favorite games from the Oculus store directly and enjoy them. However, the game library on the Oculus store is limited. Luckily, you can play someSteam gamesusing your PC. And for that, you’ll need any of the best Meta Quest 2 link cables mentioned below.

Link cables are generally long to let you use a VR headset easily. So, if your PC is quite far from your playing area, avoid the Deegotech link cable. There are no issues with connectivity and the outer casing of the cable seems strong. You also get a couple of cable ties in the box, making it easy to carry the cable around.

If you have multiple computers with different ports, look at the JSAUX 2-in-1 link cable for the Meta Quest 2. The default connector is USB Type-C, but the brand has also attached a USB Type-A dongle to the cable, making it a versatile link cable.

As mentioned previously, playing in VR with a link cable connection can involve some involuntary tugging from time to time. You may step on the cable or move far away from your PC without realizing it. With the Syntech link cable, you don’t have to worry about this since it’s longer than usual.

The issue with most Oculus Quest 2 link cables (including the first-party one) is that they either don’t charge the headset when playing or supply a low wattage that is insufficient to charge the headset for long periods. This Syntech link cable with a charging port solves that issue.

It’s neither braider nor is it extraordinarily long. Also, it lacks a pass-through USB Type-C port for charging. Except for the Official Quest 2 cable, it doesn’t have anything spectacular. The only real advantage of the first-party Oculus Quest 2 link cable is that it’s a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C cable which promises faster data speeds. Meanwhile, most of the other cables on this list are USB 3.0.
