Great thumb pads that aren’t useful for just FPS games. Wife has been using these for a few weeks playing action adventures and RPGs. Takes a little bit of getting used to but once you do then going back to the stock sticks feels like a huge downgrade. Risers make the movement of the sticks feel much smoother and the recessed pads have a good grip. Wish they had more color varieties for this model but it’s not a deal breaker. I’ve used the Lotus pads too which are fine but these have a better thumb feel. Read more

I bought the KontrolFreek Galaxy (Purple) for my PS5 controller to see if the people who I’ve seen use them were true to what they said about accuracy and gameplay changing effects. Turns out they were right! I thought my accuracy was good at first with the regular thumb-sticks, but these really made a change! They feel great and have a good grip on them. Especially since they’re concave (inward). I think they might have convex (outward) on their official website for those interested. The range of motion feels great, I use the high-rise on the right control-stick and the mid-rise on the left control-stick. Some people also choose to just go with the high-rise on the right stick and leave the left as default. These are great for fps gaming for those who play a lot of fps games. I haven’t tested them for other game types, but I’m sure they wouldn’t disappoint. Notes: It’ll take some time to get used to the new change but it’ll be well worth it! You won’t want to go back to the default control-sticks of your preferred console or pc for those who play with controller instead of mouse and keyboard. Make sure that the packaging is new and the product itself is new as well! I received mine fine but the mid-rise seemed to be a lighter/faded purple making it look used compared to the high-rise that looked brand new. It could just be a factory color mistake but just look out for that. I left it as is since it didn’t really bother me, but it might for others. Conclusion: They did their job in helping me improve my experience/accuracy in gaming. With that being said, I’ll definitely be buying more when the time comes for new ones! Hope you gamers enjoy these as much as I did! Remember that they have a huge variety in case these aren’t for you!

These are the best thumbsticks on the market and priced accordingly and if you like extenders then these are your best option. There are cheaper ones 1/4 of the cost out there and I have heard good things but never tried them. With these I am not worried about quality and durability over time so I don't mind spending more upfront. The are made with high quality plastic and rubber with unique textures. Dont expect these to improve your gameplay but your thumbs will thank you for using them. Feel- They feel jelly and tacky in a good way, thumb stays on the rubber very well. The texture adds decent grip and feels good on the thumb. The right extender is slightly lifted to improve your range of motion so your thumb can do less work and reduces fatigue. I was a little worried at first having one side extended and the other lower but after a few mins of playing COD I could instantly see the benefit as it did enhance game play. Id say accuracy of the gun fire was improved with less motion from the thumb. I also use them for other games with no issues. Installation- They install easily by popping down from the top with a little push. Can come off with a little pull. Although I think over time they are wearing down as they feel easier to pop off over time. Not an issue if you leave them on all the time. The reason I give them 4 stars is because they can fall off from time to time. Like during a tough battle when you really dig on it the extender can pop off. Not all the time but it does cause grief when playing. As I stated above might be do to taking them on and off a few times so just leave them on and see. Overall good product and worth the price.

Using a high rise on the right stick with mid rise on the left. At first I couldn’t tell much of a difference but after using them for weeks my k/d ratio was up overall and my aim especially flick aiming was much better. As a test I removed them and tried playing without them for a couple days and noticed a huge difference. I could never play without them now. 15 dollars is worth the improvement and comfort they offer imo. It’s relatively cheap so you might as well give it a go. I’d suggest starting out with a low on the left stick and a mid the right then work your way up to higher rise grips as you get use to the higher stick placement. Even two low rise grips extend your sticks by a descent amount, offer better aim/movement, smaller deadzones, and a much better grip/texture over the default sticks. I use these on both the Xbox one X gamepad and PS4 Pro gamepad as well. Would use them for my Nintendo Switch Lite but can’t see to find them for it. Only generic options. I have this set, few other solid color sets, destiny set, and the Inferno set. They last roughly 1-2 years with an average playtime of about 2-5 hours a day in my experience. That’s definitely worth 15 dollars to me. If you only play on weekends or here and there they will last several years. Read more
I still remember the days before they had these when my fingers would slip off the stick. These help so much! I play Prince of Persia: Lost Crown and I mostly use the mid-rise on the movement stick and it's helped my comfort and my gameplay a lot. Read more
These may not make your aim better instantly, but after getting used to these for years now, I definitely did get better than I was playing with normal sticks. (Thinking about it now it could have been just the time that I've played has mad me better, but I truly think these either helped me get to where I am faster, or that I would not be this good without them) They come in other colors and I personally like the black.
