Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Kontrol Freek Elite- Black Xbox 360 Thumb Stick Addon for Enhanced Gaming Experience by Brion Pine

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Do you like high sticks?

I used it a little, not too much. I'm used to the PS3 joystick sitting between the Xbox 360 joysticks and the 360 joysticks with the FPS Freek ELITE attached. That being said, I feel the Xbox 360 joystick is too short and these extra sticks (ELITE) are too big. The way my thumbs are raised from the controller in my palms is ridiculous. I know the science behind them and they offer better precision and accuracy but only if you can get used to them. The handle design is the best. I like it, it combines the advantages of concave and convex shapes and uses a good grip pattern. Perfect. I'm just not used to it and I don't even want to get used to how high the thumbs are from the surface. That's not good at all. It feels like you have to do more thumb movement to cover similar movements with the standard Xbox thumb length. Which in a way can be perceived as a delay. If you can embrace height, you can definitely reap the benefits of grip and amazing accuracy.
