I've always had problems with the DS3 controller. The D-pad is fine (worse than Ninty's, but not borderline unusable like the 360's). I don't like the squishy-ness of the face buttons - but I doubt this is resolvable. The analogue sticks are too close together (but I prefer the adjacent placement over the 360 design) - again probably unresolvable. I found the grip of the sticks to be atrocious. This product, in part, resolves this problem. The right stick grip is superb: my right thumb hasn't slipped once and it has (slightly) improved my FPS aiming. I like the feel of the left stick grip, but I had a problem with the design. For some reasons (and the reverse of most Kontrolfreek products),

I bought these thumb grips because when I play on FIFA, I usually put way too much pressure on the analogue sticks when trying to run up the pitch, and this eventually leads to the rubber casing of the analogue sticks being torn and then gaming becomes rather painful on my thumbs. These thumb grips completeley wipe out that problem so they've saved me a lot of money that I would need to pay for a new controller. They are very comfortable and it is a lot easier to grip the anaolgue sticks with these on. Sometimes though, when too much pressure is put onto the analogue sticks, the thumb grips fall off, which can be rather annoying as I have to try and quickly put them back on when in an online match on FIFA and I end up giving the ball away or conceding a goal etc.

Moved from gaming on the XBOX 360 for many years over to the PS3 as I'm fed up of paying for Live.These make the PS3 controller a bit more bareable to use, the raised grip version aren't obtrusive to use but it means you're not slipping to the edge of the stick. They've not worn through after a couple of months use, although if you remove them, the previously textured grip area of the PS3 stick itself has worn smooth through using these.The concave ones were a disappointment - I thought I'd prefer using these due to years of experience with the 360 pad but they raise the profile of the sticks too high, the caps rotate too easily and they just feel awkward in use.

I've recently devoted myself to gaming more .. In an effort to gain better control I've found things I never knew existed before....These ORB Analogue Thumb Grips are one of my favourite add ons, especially the L3 concave grip, no more slipping off the old original now I've got this fitted, perfect for steering.simple to fit, I mean all you have to do is get one edge over and wriggle the rest on, better still you get TWO SETS .. one for each controller, now that's damn good value!!!!With the trigger extenders, some grips for the palm seating part of the controller I can now feel comfortable for longer in my larger than normal hands!!!Great product .. excellent dispatch & delivery service,

Great thumb grips, if you don't mind occasionally having to search for one of them after accidentally launching it across the room after a particularly furious session of button mashing :) I bought these along with the ORB triggers (more than 2 years ago might I add) and together they make a massive difference. I have quite large hands and found with the PS3 controller, especially after extended use, my thumbs would be all over the place. The stock thumb grips are, to be honest at the best of times, not very grippy but these fixed this. Weirdly these seem to occasionally come off a little too easily and I had exactly the same problem with the ORB triggers,

another nice little extra you can buy for your controllerfairly easy to get on and off,tho can sometimes be a little bit fidlly but there is no chance that they will fall off when gaming and i cant really see way that they could break at all unless they were actually cut in with a pair of scissors or somethingthere not going to have a ginormous impact on your gameplay but are still worth getting in my opinion especially as they are so cheap, they do there job amazingly well and you get 2 sets of gripsone pair has loads of little lumps on it (the most effective of the pair in my opinion)and the other is almost identical to the analogue sticks of a 360 controller

I have a fps freek(which I highly recommend btw) on my right analogue stick of my ps3 controller, so only needed a pad for the left stick. The controller is new(ish), the rubber isnt wearing off, I just wanted to add some extra grip to help me when gaming.I found the concave pad not particularly useful. It tries to mimic the xbox 360s style of pad. and in my opinion it fails. it raises the stick up far too much.I do however use one of the convex dotted grips. Even with sweaty thumbs from playing a game, your thumbs wont slip off.I would recommend this product.

These thumb grips are useful as they raise the height of the stick slightly - a higher thumb stick means better fine control (as the range of motion is increased) - the rubber also prevents slipping during furious firefights!These snap on securely and do not fall off even during violent usage, my only wish would be that they were a bit 'higher' - they raise the stick height slightly, but not quite as much as I'd prefer.They are definitely an improvement on the standard thumb sticks though.

I bought these for my both my PS3 and PS4 controllers feeling the new thumbsticks were a little too small on ps4 and the ps3 convex sticks are too slippery. I love them both now.The only complain is that the concave design included are a little chunky so you really notice that extra height when holding the controller, having to stretch your thumbs a little more to reach on top. but they're definitely worth it if you have troubles with the default designs on either controller.

They came pretty fast even though it was due to be delivered 3days later than it actually came and they are very good don't slip and definitely improve your performance during gameplay.Dotted thumb grips:. Very grippy. Don't sit too high on the analogue stick. Help improve gaming performanceXbox style thumb grips:. Very comfortable on thumb. Too high on the analogue stick so take allot of getting used to. More accurate aiming and steering on games

Very easy to fit only takes a few seconds and you get two choices of thumb grips the spotty ones which I am using at the minute that good but I think they are slightly big and are a bit loose, they come off easy but are very grippy and comfertable so as long as you are careful you should have no problems. The other ones are exactley like the ones you get on the 360 which are probaley better but that is just personal perfernce either way they are both good

Bought this for my son as a filler for his advent calendar.Pack comes with 2 sets of additional buttons. He has now used them both & finds it a lot easier to use the buttons - a bit more like the 360 controller. He does however prefer the rippled grips as he gets a lot more control with those.So a "thumbs" up for these grips! Not sure how long they will last - if they wear out quickly then I will post up a follow up comment, but looking good so far!!!

Always had a bit of a love/hate relazionship with the PS3 controlers. These very cheap(but good)rubber grips helps out a lot to make the controlets feel more precise and comfortable.They are easy to attach and I am not worried that they will come off during play, makes aiming feel more solid and I don't "waggle" around the screen as much which I did before using these grips. As they are very cheap and very good I can't reccomend them enough.

Once fitted can only help your gaming esp in FPS. 2 types one nobbly improving grip, the other higher (makes your analogue sticks a little bit longer & this makes a huge difference I think) these have a rim edge (similar to xbox as others say) the extra length/height giving more precision IMO. Either set will enhance your gameplay, whats to lose at this price anyway. Recommend with ORB triggers for a better allround controller.

These are really good. Took a while to get them fitted on properly because I'm such a fumbler. I've gone for using the dotty rubber grip for my movement/left analog stick and I decided to use the smooth concave grip for my aiming/right analog stick. It's a nice combo. I could have done it as 2 dotted ones or 2 concave ones since the pack comes with 2 of each but I thought I'd play around and I really like this combination.
