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 Carlos Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap and useful. Significant improvements over the standard traction rackets.

With high travel on the right joystick and medium travel on the left. I didn't notice much of a difference initially, but after using them for a few weeks, my overall k/d ratio went up and my aim, especially aiming with clicks, got a lot better. As a test, I removed them and tried playing without them for a few days and noticed a big difference. I could never play without her now. $15 is worth the upgrade and the convenience they offer imo. It's relatively cheap, so you might as well try it. I'd suggest starting with the lower left stick and middle right stick, then moving to higher grips as you get used to the higher stick placement. Even two low-rise grips elongate your sticks the height of descent, provide better aiming/movement, fewer dead zones, and much better grip/texture than standard sticks. I use them on both the Xbox One X controller and the PS4 Pro controller. I would use them for my Nintendo Switch Lite but can't find them for that. General options only. I have this set, several other solid color sets, a Fate set, and an Inferno set. They last around 1-2 years in my experience with an average playtime of around 2-5 hours per day. It's definitely worth €15 to me. If you only play on weekends or here and there, they will last for several years.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
