KontrolFreek CQCX Thumb Grips for PlayStation 4 Controller (PS4) and PlayStation 5 (PS5) | 2 Mid-Rise Convex Performance Thumbsticks | Black

5 months later: I can’t go without these. They still look like and grip like new. I rotate them 90° everyday as they tend to spin a bit in the analogs. This prevents any flat spots and promotes even wear. Picture with cable connected is from 3/30/20, showing minimal wear. 3 months later: In love with convex grips, wondering how I went without for so long. They hold up incredibly well if you don’t expose them to greasy substances, as the rubber is porous enough to absorb them. For real, if you take care of these they reward you with dividends, wash your hands before gaming and see what happens. I race alot, and having to reposition my thumb midturn blows, but the grip and range of motion allows me to hang on and make those adjustments my thumbs weren’t able to before. When clean and dry the grip is unmatched. Very little effort is needed to manipulate analog sticks and thumb strain is significantly reduced. I was having thumb soreness and cramping in my left hand and these grips cured it! They definitely help with games with a lot of L3 sprinting too. I uploaded a current photo showing the condition of the sticks now on crystal controller, originally black. 12/9/19: I’ve never used any sort of thumb grips so I didn’t know what to expect. I tend to do a lot of sprinting with L3 so I wanted a soft and convex grip with no sharp edges that would dig into my thumb. (I have a damaged nerve directly under contact patch) The rubber is supple and super tacky, making movements effortless. The added leverage of the 8.6mm rise also loosens up the sticks and gives them a smoother range of motion. I wouldn’t go any taller like the high-rise, and my next pair will be the Icon X which is 2.2mm shorter at 6.4mm rise. These are great for those with larger hands or longer thumbs. I always felt cramped in awkward angles with no grips, now my thumbs are in proper posture and never ache anymore. I also have very thin bony fingers, so convex grips don’t dig in and create any pressure points as opposed to the sharp edges with concave grips.

sony messed up when they redesigned the sticks on ps4 controllers. the rubber they use breaks down leaving you with a slippery surface or in some cases it flakes off down to the plastic leaving you with an unusable controller. i also think sony had it right with the convex style sticks on previous dual shock controllers. i preferred them so much that i ordered a custom controller for my xbox 360 that had convex joysticks. the problem is your thumbs do not just sit in the little dimple (concave), they travel across the surface as you move and aim. this is why i chose the cqcx's because they are the convex style allowing your thumb to freely travel as you move and aim. the cqcx's have honey comb indents for grip which is excellent. i really like the new cqc design which is shorter than the original freeks. the longer ones are okay for the right stick but not for the left stick. i have an original set of freeks for xbox 360, one improvement over the older design i like is there are the 3 ridges vs 6 on the older design that keep the freeks in place, making it easier to attach and remove them from your controller. this is good because it was difficult to remove them before and easier to damage your controller. the cqcx's height isn't intrusive but comfortable and i prefer the added height without the discomfort that comes with the added height on the regular freeks, especially for the left stick. there is an argument to be made for whether or not they may improve your aim, this isn't why i purchased these, but they do provide more elegant solution than the cheaper silicone condoms from other brands to a problem that shouldn't exist. thankfully kontrol freek has several cqc styles, the signature series more closely resembles the default ps4 grips if you prefer. i would like to see more colour options, while the signature series comes in green and the vortex in orange there grip types are significantly different than the cqcx. you could match these with the ultra x for the added precision on your right stick. it is my hope they will hold up better than the ps4 sticks do and i will update later one way or the other. i would recommend these if you ps4 controller has lost it's grip or you prefer the ps3 style joysticks. one size does not fit all so make sure you order the correct version for your console of choice.

Great product overall to the feeling down to the longevity. On probably is that they tend to spin something while you are playing. But over great product and very recommended for a small price

Gotta say, these are very nice covers. It adds a good height, grip, and comfortabilty when playing games like Overwatch or Skyrim. It's great for people who have large hands and aren't comfortable with the stick feel of Ds4 thumb sticks. My personally preference is I use only one of these of the right thumb stick. It's been a month and has shown no sign of wear or damage after hundreds of hours of gaming.

I fell for the hype. They aren't bad... I'll start by saying that. They aren't bad. The grip is great and they fit flawlessly! Until the rubber starts to peel. Friction or whatever caused them to start to go bald.... like a tire... and I've only had them about 2 weeks! They are still sticky and brilliant and offer great accuracy and precision, but the shed rubber dust n bits and wear out quick!

I go out of my way to specifically purchase this texture and style. It's soft rounded design is much better for presicion aim and overall play. It allows the thimbs to 'roll' over the analog sticks smoothly and reduce aching compared to the weird style of modern controllers such as the Ps4 and XBox 1, where the sticks have an invert, or buttoned overlay. Never going back.

Molto comodi, aumentano la precisione negli fps realmente, ovviamente non fanno miracoli ma si ha una sensibilità minore in modalità mirino pur mantenendo la sensibilità di gioco normale, ho provato anche i vortex ma non c'è paragone,troppo alti, questi sono decisamente meglio a mio parere anche se i vortex hanno sia un freek medio che uno alto, se sei indeciso sulla lunghezza compra i vortex ma se cerchi i freek medi questi sono ottimi anche a grip.

Pegada perfeita, compatível com DualSense (PS5), bem como com o DualShock (PS4). Melhora incrivelmente a experiência de jogo. Eu particularmente acho os analógicos da Sony com uma percepção tátil "barata", parece pirata dela mesmo. Não parece que pagamos o valor que pagamos naquele controle pela superfície dos materiais. Esse gripe resolve isso, além de aderir melhor aos dedos de quem transpira mais.

Los mejores sin duda... Ni muy alto ni bajo, altura óptima para todos los juegos. Y el tacto es de lo mejor. Los tengo hace más de un año, estoy escribiendo esto de pura casualidad, y no se han pelado ni estropeado...siguen con buen tacto y agarre... En definitiva, son los únicos que comprare una y otra vez mientras los fabriquen...

I only use one on right stick. I find it does give better control and comfort.
