Amazon Basics PlayStation 4 Controller Thumb Grips

I love these things, especially at the price i paid (7.33 prime for the blue and black 2 pairs option). I have one set on a PS branded dualshock 4 controller, and the other on an aftermarket PS controller. I also tested the fitment on an XBOX one controller, and it clicks on tightly to ALL of them.My only gripe is that even at this price point--which in fairness was the lowest i could find anywhere, including wish and e-bay--they are still kind of expensive for what they are. I am sure someone will 3D print some cheap versions, but for now, i am satisfied. The only things that could possibly make these joystick extenders better other than a lower price point are remarkably minor and possibly cosmetic:1. More color options. Not a big deal for me, personally, but may influence some people.2. Better texture on top. The existing surface doesn't quite have the grip i want, but a textured silicone cap does the trick for me personally (and would also solve the color issue some people may have.)

These are the price KF's should be. Unfortunately, they spend all our money on marketing. I'd prefer not to contribute to the "basics" empire either, but honestly, these things are commodity pieces of plastic and shouldn't cost $15. These are quite well made and feel like quality. I'll update if they don't last, but given the design and how strongly they seem to be clipped in, I don't know how they can prematurely fail. These help me with FPS games like COD, and I only use it on the right, aiming stick. YMMV if you press/push/rub harder than others. Seem pretty good on my first couple of sessions with what I consider is normal use and pressure. KF's had a good run with their "innovation" and have profited plenty by overcharging for these. Glad these are here and normalizing pricing for this item.

They make all of these joystck extensions just a bit too tall, in my opinion. However, these work fine. They hang onto the controller really well and they certainly improve my precision when aiming in a fps. They could look better. They could have more fun designs and colors, but they do the job, and they're MUCH better than the silicone ones that I have tried.

You're busy. Let's get straight to the point:Pros:+ Extensions feel natural, not too short, not too tall+ No stick rubbing+ Very reactive and plenty of movementCons:- "Pads" are hard plastic, slippery - that's a deal killer for me- Clips are very weak.- Price, too high for nothing but plasticDetails:I use 2 Battle Beaver Custom controllers for the PS4 as each has different options. I wanted another set of KontrolFreeks but without the KF price. I tried these given many of the reviews are positive, but they're not for me.I tried adding grip tops, but the curved plastic piece is too large.3 days after receiving them, I was swapping them to the other controller when one of the clasps broke, making the stick completely useless. I will never understand why these companies can't design a wrap around system instead of using clips. Wait, I do know why, but I'm not buying these again.If you're the type of gamer where using the indentation of your thumb is how you control movement, these may work very well for you as the hard plastic dome will fit snuggly in the indentation.If you're like me and you use the edge to move them, these will not work for you.Had the tips been rubber or silicon coated, I believe this would have made it useful for all types of gamers.Hope this short and simple review helped.Thanks for reading and have a great day.

pretty good but i lost them when i was moving

I guess the gamers in the reviews that love these, either dont really play or dont play first person shooter games. They fall off every single time during the first or second encounter with the enemy. Tried both pairs on two different genuine PS controllers and disappointingly they just dont stay on. Threw the box away or I would send them back. Seeking alternative and wondering if the major brand should have been my first choice after all. Granted, these are half the price: and they do stay on when I am not using them, so technically they stay on half the time 😬

Bought these for 2 reasons. The rubber was pulling off the joysticks and to see if I liked the added hight. Well if the rubber is completely not there these do not fit tight enough and come off during game play. And just wasn't a fan of the added hight. Returned

IF you have never used this adapters it takes some getting used to. But I do feel they help with game fatigue, as my fingers don't hurt after long periods of gaming. I just wish they had option to buy one shorter than the other as the left stick would make better use of a smaller stick. I'm glad I purchased this one instead of the kontrol freak ones as they only lasted me a year or so before the rubber started coming off.
