I tend to be very strict with controllers as my fingers and thumbs feel less sensitive after the surgery. This really helps prevent excessive torque on the joystick as my thumb stays in place and doesn't slip off. The slip seems to cause me to crumple the controller a lot more than necessary and wear it out prematurely. It's nice to feel like you're holding the controller securely as well, I think it will improve the gaming experience for everyone, 5 stars!
