As an FPS (first person shooter) enthusiast I'm no stranger to grips and joystick housings. In the last 2 or 3 years alone I've tried many, some good and some great. These are 100% the best pens I have ever bought! I don't get paid to say that. These racquets have phenomenal aggressive grip. After a long session of Apex Legends or Overwatch, the pads of my thumbs tingle with the feeling of being grabbed. The grip pattern is ideal for sharp, decisive changes of direction and accurate aiming. Variable cap heights add extra precision where you need it, but allow you short, quick shots where you don't need it. They can also withstand some pressure, once you put them on they won't come loose unless you want them to too. As you can see from the photos, I have a professional controller with offset analog sticks. (This means the right stick or joystick is higher than the left stick or motion stick.) The added height of the already extended stick from these knobs allows for final adjustments, which has greatly improved my girth. The dimple's hexagonal and convex shape reduces thumb slippage that occurs with standard round analog sticks (especially if you have sweaty hands like mine, lol).
