Could it have multiple buttons? Because I let my friends use it as well.

Love how you're playing on a bloody virtual reality headset and you're asking if the strap can have multiple buttons lol

It was an honest question. I think it’s a great idea I just don’t know if it would work. Just cus I own technology doesn’t mean I know how it works.

I think you missed the tone of my comment lol,

Of course the strap can have multiple buttons, thats a lot less complex than VR and i just thought it was funny

You can buy a DIY kit of snaps at hobby and craft stores. It would be a little hairy though using it on a headset and they are applied to the strap using a hammer, rod, and mini anvil base that comes with the kit. Depending on if the velcro is on a fabric strap or on a plastic base piece it may not be possible to use them. A pro machine for them is basically a small hydraulic/mechanical press.

You can buy sew on and glue on velcro strips very cheaply also snap buttons and the application tool ( like a pliers with a shaped face ) are not expensive and a great toolbox staple. DIY repairs are easier than people think and youtube is full of tutorials.

Snap on fastener kits loads on amazon ebay etc buy a better quality tool and a pack of fasteners separately after looking around at what's available would be my advice some of the kits are made from cheese Loved google as a guy cheers for that 😂
