Review on Enhanced Performance Thumbsticks - KontrolFreek FPS Freek Galaxy Purple for PlayStation 4 (PS4) and PlayStation 5 (PS5) - Includes 1 High-Rise and 1 Mid-Rise - Purple by Josh Nat

I've been playing with these joysticks for several days and used them for several 3 hour play sessions this past weekend. I've enjoyed adapting to using them in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PS4. A few takeaways: (1) Increase your in-game sensitivity settings. These mini joysticks add significant range of motion and increase players' ability to accurately time their shot. With low sensitivity settings, you simply slow the sticks down to the point where they become unusable. For Modern Warfare, I use sensitivity level 10 (high). It may take some time to reach such high levels when playing at low to medium sensitivity. I would suggest increasing the sensitivity by one notch every three games. This makes the sensitivity change gradual and more natural. (2) These sticks are offset - the right stick should be slightly higher than the left stick as most controller settings use the right stick for aiming when shooting. which requires more control. I have medium sized hands and have no problem with a larger stick. I believe that for children (with small hands) larger joysticks will be problematic or uncomfortable. (3) The control sticks are snapped on the controller and detachable. The connection is also strong during gameplay; I don't notice anything out of the ordinary or out of the ordinary.(4) The texture is somewhat "gelled". This provides more control and reduces the chance of fingers slipping. I've found that my thumbs get a bit sticky on the joystick during long gaming sessions, possibly due to sweat. I would not recommend them for those with extremely sweaty hands. Overall, I wouldn't consider this a must-have for casual gamers. For those looking to improve their KDR in Call of Duty, these mini joysticks are essential along with a set of paddle adapters for your controller.
