I've had them since December 2015, this was my first experience with thumbsticks raised. I love their feel, design and look, but they keep popping up. I've looked at reviews on YT and people show they turn up very easily. I don't know if I have the wrong hats or what, but this is a PITA to wear. I've seen people just put them on. What am I doing wrong? The rubber on the original joysticks makes KontrolFreeks wearable.
