My wife got trigger happy and just bought all the official accessories. We’re probably going to return the replacement kit. Can’t think of a reason to keep it.
I’m probably going to get a power bank. Personally I am always near a power outlet. But maybe the kids could use it. Then again the limited battery life is a good way to limit their playtime. Although at the moment they always bring it back with some power left.

The replacement kit may come in handy in a year or two, if the included foam pads get damaged, etc. Although I’ve also thought about wearing something similar to a Zorro mask to keep my face sweat and oils away from it. I read somewhere that someone had successfully washed their pads with their laundry, so maybe they’re more durable than I think.
As far as a power bank, I’m just thinking that I will want to play standing up quite a bit (exercise being one of my main justifications for getting this - hence the sweat I mentioned) and the battery seems to go down remarkably fast, so the PB should help until Valve releases the replaceable battery setup they’ve mentioned in the future.

I think Dave2d was the one washing his. I guess the replacement kit is also good in case it doesn’t survive the wash after all.

Yeah, I figure that sooner or later the pads will need to be replaced.
