KIWI design V4 Facial Interface Pads for Quest 3S

This replacement facial interface set for the Quest 3S improves comfort and hygiene during long VR sessions, combining soft synthetic leather with 12 mm memory foam to reduce pressure and block light for more immersive play. It is made by KIWI design specifically for users of the Meta Quest 3S and includes a soft silicone nose guard and expanded mask frame for steadier support.

Key Points

The pads use thick viscoelastic foam that cushions the face and helps distribute headset weight evenly, which may reduce fatigue during extended use. The synthetic leather surface is sweat-resistant and washable, making it easy to keep the interface clean between sessions. Note that this set is compatible with Quest 3S only and is not compatible with Meta Quest 3 according to the product listing.

Technical Specifications

• Name: KIWI design V4 Facial Interface Face Pads (Quest 3S)
• Material: synthetic leather, 12 mm memory foam.
• Ventilation: more than 20 L-shaped ventilation holes.
• Additional parts: soft silicone nose guard included.

Usage Recommendations

Install the pads by aligning the cutouts with the headset mounts and pressing firmly until they click into place. The contoured precision cut is intended to fit different face shapes and users who wear glasses, helping to keep the headset stable without slipping. For cleaning, wipe the synthetic leather with a damp cloth and allow to air dry to maintain surface integrity and foam resilience. 😊

Advantages

The expanded frame design spreads contact pressure across a larger facial area, which can be more comfortable for marathon sessions or shared use between players. Ventilation holes help reduce lens fogging and heat buildup while maintaining a sealed feel to block external light. The inclusion of a silicone nose protector reduces light leaks around the bridge and can improve perceived immersion. 😊

Nuances

Consider that the foam thickness and the expanded frame may slightly change the distance to the lenses, which could affect viewing comfort for some users. Also, compatibility is limited to Quest 3S only, so double-check your headset model before purchasing. 😊.
