I love knuckle grips like these, but keep in mind that this one looks like it's a bit of effort to remove. With this style of grips where they wrap over the top, I prefer they have a battery door.
So either grips that easily slip on and off, or grips that stay on pretty much forever with a battery door.
If you play a lot, you need to change the battery weekly. Otherwise, maybe monthly. When you do change your battery, you have to remove the grip.
This can be a pain in the ass process, especially if you are in a multiplayer game.
If you are pretty casual, it's no big deal. If you play a lot, you may want to invest in something a little more convenient.

Yea reviews kinda speak to this a little bit but seems like its only a minor setback for most people as they still thoroughly enjoyed the grip and the product itself. Great feedback though!
Thanks for your insight. Is there any grip you can recommend that allows easy access to the battery? At a similar price?
I'll start off by saying at $8 with solid reviews, you can't really lose. $8 this is a pretty solid deal.
The reviews are really good. So it's really just a matter of convenience. And if it inconveniences you, you can always eventually purchase something else.
AMVR is a good brand and I use theirs, without the doors, but they are easy to slip on and off using the velcro. They were the "best" solution years ago until other companies improved.
I've gotten another brand that I really like that are just the knuckle straps without grips for very cheap, but they are no longer for sell. They were about $5.
I also bought a pair from a cheap unknown Chinese company that were really good, except for that the metal rivet that attaches the strap would leave rust marks on my hand (within weeks of use). I'll mod them to cover the rivet to prevent that, but that should never happen with a good product.
The top 3rd party brands for Quest accessories are: (Bobo, KIWI, AMVR, and VR Cover).
(Yes, I've purchased a lot of VR gear)

OK, I just received these. Problem is that there are two narrow straps that wrap around the top of the controller to hold the grips in place, with tiny holes through which you need to insert these rubber T-shaped nubs. Very fiddly to attach. I eventually just gave up. Maybe someone with better eyesight or smaller fingers can do it, but they are not for me.

Narrow the comments to battery, and you will see many people find that as their only frustration:

KIWI has some that are $24 and they are well known.

These are similar to one set that I have at $15 (A few of us had to cut the plastic near the thumb as it rubbed my thumbs):
