Enhanced Gaming Experience: KontrolFreek Performance Grips for Xbox One and Xbox Series X Controller (Nightfall Black) Review

After watching a few youtube videos I realized the instructions are completely wrong and to put the grip on you have to put it on as it is on mine photos looks like . When put on correctly, they fit well (old review). I haven't even put them on the controller yet, but right now I'm so annoyed by these poor instructions. It shows that the handle is a lot smaller than it is and the only way I won't close my b key is if it's misaligned, contrary to the state of the instructions. CM. Maybe I'll…

Hesitant after reading some bad reviews; I've installed Squid Grips on every controller I've had over the years but unfortunately they're no longer available so I gave them a try. They're a lot thicker and give a really good grip, but I feel like their shape is awkward, leaving a slightly awkward edge that your hand will rub against if they're not perfectly positioned. I've installed them where the video is shown as well as tried my own and while my own placement was slightly better, I feel the

Very good after I cut the front of the handle. With the Xbox One x controller, no part of my hand touches the top of the controller except for my thumbs, which rest on the joysticks. My index fingers are on the triggers/bumpers and my other fingers are on the back of each shot. This is really necessary. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself. I also found that the top right front of the grip gets in the way of the "B" key (too close for convenience). After tailoring it to my hands, I felt…

FWI These controllers will work with PowerA controllers which have petals but require trimming with a knife. I have a PowerA Specter Infinity, but this method also works with Fusion or advanced controllers. What I did was cut off part of the paddle button with a very sharp knife, pocket knife or even a razor. Please look at my photos and videos for reference. One important thing to keep in mind is knowing where you're going to cut before you press on the back of the handle, as you won't be able

Overall the grips are nice. I put them on my Elite controller after the rubber grips on my Elite controller started to fail. I removed the rubber pads before putting on the Kontrolfreeks. I like the feel of them, they give the controller a bit of "meatiness". I've also found that I don't grip the controller as hard when gaming so my hands don't hurt after a long session (I'm old). They're certainly well-made and comfortable, but they're not specifically designed for the Elite controller. You…

Installed because the instructions appeared to be written backwards, but from what I saw installed earlier I knew how they should be. Also, they aren't reusable so don't expect them to be, the adhesive is insanely sticky, so sticky you stand a chance of destroying it before you ever fully install it! Go very slowly and make sure you have planned out how you want them to look and that they aren't interfering with any mods or mod bar buttons. Pre-mapping is very important because if you miss the…

You have to be very careful and it's hard to get it right. For example I didn't like that the right grip came too close to the B button (as intended) so I moved it down a bit but that means the knob part of the grip is almost overlapping etc. A few things, What I don't like is that the edges of the handle don't taper, so the edges are a bit sharp and don't fall off (maybe I'll try thinner ones next time). Another problem is the large gaps in the handle. I think the template could be redesigned…

I bought this product for one reason: I had to deal with sweaty hands while gaming. Now he's doing very well for me and I'm feeling pretty good too. The padding is definitely durable and feels great when holding the controller in any gaming situation. No more stopping to wipe your controller or your hands to get you feeling comfortable again. I didn't know how thick the padding was so I went with the standard version. I may have to try the other two sizes later if the durability stays good for…
