Review on Performance Thumbsticks - KontrolFreek FPS Freek Galaxy White for Playstation 4 (PS4) and Playstation 5 (PS5), 1 High-Rise, 1 Mid-Rise, in White by Jan Keller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not exactly what I expected

Well, first of all I expected more precise control and more comfort on the joysticks. It definitely offered comfort, but as far as more precise handling goes, that's a bit subjective. Because of the longer poles, which give you an expanded range of motion, I can make small adjustments to my target. The problem is that pulling the racquet out gives you more freedom of movement, but it also makes the racquet easier to push. For example, before KontrolFreeks, if you pressed with 20% force, the joystick moved 2cm off center, but with KontrolFreeks, if you pressed at 20% with the same force, it moved 2cm off center, which was a bit your aim is shifted. I'm not sure if this makes 100% sense, but I wasn't expecting it to make stick movement easier. As I use it more often and get used to using less force I think I can make these finer adjustments with my aim, just a longer time to learn I thought. I think if you buy these and grab a precision ring at the same time, you get the best of both worlds: expanded range of motion for more precise control and the familiar power required to move the sticks = faster learning time/better aim. Perhaps even the precision rings themselves will have a more pronounced effect on your aim than the KontrolFreeks Performance Thumbsticks. I will try these rings soon.
