Loud and uncomfortable for your thumb

Hits your thumb hard and you can hear the aluminum hitting the edge of the thumb hole. It's ridiculously loud like you could hear it in a whole different room with the doors closed lol. Their only plus is that they are literally eternal.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Quality

Too slippery for Xbox One

It was too slippery. The textured area on the side is not enough to maintain traction. Half the time my thumb is in contact with the top of the stick, which has a smooth surface, causing my thumb to slip and slide across the surface. You should have textured the top part as well, which would solve the problem. Avoid this product and get rubber sticks instead.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Other Other

make your controller shine!

I bought these to replace mine on my Xbox One controllers after my 3 month old pup found one in his domain. I bought green and also blue. Personally, I like blue a little better, but both look really cool. Assembly is pretty easy and there are videos on how to carefully remove the 5 screws without moving any components, but basically you go slow and make sure the little screws don't fall anywhere.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • There are cons

Very weak grip and hard on thumb

It was difficult to remove the case from my controller. The T8 bolts are so tight I almost ripped them off trying to get them out. I recommend not over-tightening them when you put them back in so it's not as difficult to remove next time. They definitely don't have much traction, despite some claims. They are very smooth, hands do not sweat. The first night I used them I played for 3 hours. The next morning I woke up with a blister on my thumb due to jagged edges. This is the first time for…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Approximately

Great joysticks, will never use the standard

I've used these joysticks on both my PS4 and Xbox controllers and I'm happy to say they feel fantastic on both. It was as easy as plugging in and playing with an Xbox controller if you had the right screwdriver to take the controller apart. However, I encountered some issues with the PS4 controller. One thing about Xbox sticks in general is that their legs are a bit thicker than PS4 sticks. I discovered this in Rocket League when I found I couldn't undo a flip while trying to do a half flip…

Pros
  • again, good thing

Good work! Ease of installation.

I bought these to replace worn out sticks on my original Xbox One S controller. Apparently I was squeezing my controller too hard because I actually ripped the rubber off the original joysticks lol. I chose the green ones because they were the cheapest and I don't care about the color. They appear to be aluminum molds of the original sticks with rubber caps. My thumb tips (which I rarely use anymore) fit with no problems. They were very easy to install if you have a T8 screwdriver. I was able…

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Not the best
