Danglers has 3 main unique design features: the Horn, magnetic mounts, and the pulley system.
The Horn routes the cable to the top your head, at an ideal location that minimizes cable tug from all angles.
Danglers is the only cable system designed to be attached/detached quickly during use. Other system are designed for the cables/headset to be permenantly hanging from the ceiling/walls.
The pulley design for Danglers creates a loop of cable slack directly over your head, while other systems do not have this loop. This loop allows for equal amount of pulley tension in any direction you move. Other pulley system have noticibly more tension in one direction.
Yes, Danglers is designed to be very safe to use, as long as you use common sense and follow some safety guidelines:
Danglers is not recommended for children under 13, as it contain small parts, and young children will likely not follow safety guidelines.
Be careful when taking Danglers down so that the magnetic clips do no swing down and hit people, pets or your TV.
Yes it will! The horn for Quest/Quest 2 is designed both for the official Oculus Link cable, as well as 3rd party Link cables with varying thickness. Most 3rd party cables should work as long as they are not too thick.
If your link cable is thinner and too loose inside the horn, you can secure the cable with any tape at the top and bottom of the horn.
Depending on what headset you have you may need extension cables for your headset. Most headsets have a cable of around 16ft (4.85 meters) and should be long enough for most room-scale setups.
For cable extensions, try 10ft versions of: HDMI, Displayport, USB 3.0, USB-C.
Some headsets require USB + HDMI, while others require USB + DisplayPort. Quest headsets require USB-C.
While the setup video recommendes setting danglers at a chair height, that is just for ease of access since everyone has a chair and they are all near the same height.
You can actually set Danglers lower, even all the way to the floor if your ceiling is high enough to cover the extra cable slack and your headset cables are long enough!
Its recommended to follow the setup video, then adjust the headset down and test how it feels.
Yes, the adhesives used on the horn is "3M VHB 5952", industrial strength. It is recommeded to clean and dry the top of your headest with alcohol to remove grease before attaching the horn. Let the adhesives set for 24 hours before letting the headset dangle for best results.
Keep in mind environmental factors such as sweat or moisture can reduce the strength of the adhesives over time so its best to keep your headset well-maintained.
Its recommended to let your headset dangle for short periods of time such as breaks between sessions. prolonged dangling over long periods of time can cause the adhesives to weaken over time.
With an average 9ft (2.75 meters) ceiling, you can expect an 8ft diameter area of movement. lower ceilings would have less range of motion and higher ceilings can have wider range of motion.
your range of motion also depends on how long your headest cables are and where in your room Danglers is set up.
extension cables for your headset might be needed for high ceiling or if you are setting up far from your computer.
The adhesives used to attach the magnetic mounts to the ceiling is tested to be strong enough to hold the headset but light enough to be removable.
To remove the mounts without peeling paint, it is recommeded to first spray a grease such as WD-40 under the adhesive, then carefully cut through the adhesive with a knife or scraper.
Ability to remove the mounts cleanly depends heavily on user technique and ceiling type.
