Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced PS4 Controller Performance: KontrolFreek FPS Freek Inferno Thumbsticks - 2 Red High-Rise Concave Sticks by Kathy Robinson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

These are Joystick EXTENSIONS with a non-slip top, not just the last ones.

Buyer's Note: These are joystick control enhancements, not just non-slip covers that may make them awkward or uncomfortable to use. ADVANTAGES: - They snap onto your existing (intact) racquets and hold up very well (I was surprised how well they held up). - Rubber pads do not slip at all after long-term use (more than 10 hours). CONS: - These devices extend the height of your sticks to the point that they are not only very noticeable but also uncomfortable to use. This will likely decrease your control significantly until you get used to it or get something else. (I've been playing on consoles for too long to make up for the height difference, so I went with the latter option.) - Expensive. Don't believe in marketing ads. You know you can tweak the in-game settings to get the best control response based on your individual tastes. These devices will not do this, quite the opposite. And they cost significantly more than a pack of 16 pairs of rubber sleeves for multiple of your controllers. VERDICT: I confess I didn't look closely to understand these were joystick extensions (in fact I was looking for non-slip sleeves). but I still gave them a chance. As mentioned, I've been playing console games for far too long and use the console controllers on my PC to accommodate the awkward length these devices add. A bit physically clumsy, you break your "norm" of control royally. You can't break 25 years of identical console controls, including joystick height, overnight. Add to that the comparatively high price, and for me it becomes a daunting task.
