    The product did perfectly the precision is mostly bases on your mind set. For me it did not increase the accuracy.

    Nothing to complain about, works as intended, cheaper construction than I would’ve liked but overall a solid product. 4/5 stars.

    I bought these to help my Halo playing. My accuracy is generally over 50% every match and it stays true with this product. The longer one was of no use to me. The shorter one I use on the right stick and it does make for a comfortable fit. Now it feels weird playing without i

    I have these on my ps4 controllers. These make fps games a much smoother experience. They stay on during intense games and aren’t too expensive.

    I’m a huge fan of KontrolFreek Vortex. I use them on a Battle Beaver custom Xbox controller with extreme tension thumbsticks. That combination allows me to play with a higher controller look sensitivity while allowing me to be more accurate. Overall, it’s helped me steadily improve and I love the feel!

    So I have tried out a bunch of these different control freaks from the official brand, but these Vortex ones have definitely been the best for me so far! The grip texture and feel just seems to be the best with these ones. The biggest difference I have noticed with them is just being able to play with a lot more ease and not having to worry about getting tired or sore thumbs after long sessions. These control freaks sure do absorb a lot of the pressure that you apply with your thumbs, so these should be a must for any avid gamer regardless of the game you are playing. My initial intentions for getting control freaks were actually in the hopes of a more comfortable playing experience, but I know most people want to get control freaks to help improve their aim above anything else, so I’ll tell you lastly what they did for me in my playing experience aiming wise. Firstly, the big difference in control and coordinated aim all comes from the elevated right control freak. Because of this it allows for more fine and precise aiming in certain situations. I can tell you that it will generally improve your aim for snipers and shotguns, but with certain weapons they don’t actually make any difference at all. While you do have to get used to them at first, once you do you’ll never want to go back as these control freaks are just a lot more comfortable than no control freaks at the end of the day, and that’s the biggest takeaway from all this. Yeah they will compliment your aim with certain weapons and make your transitioning more smooth, but not in every case. So if your are just looking to better your aim in every situation then I can’t say that these will deliver on that. Those with smaller hands may find it more awkward when trying to press other buttons like X or Y because of the heightened right control freak. So do keep that in mind. Perhaps just 2 control freaks that aren’t elevated at all may be better for people with small hands. Anyway when I first bought these they were about 15. Now I can see they have been increased to 20 which is a bit much just for 2 control freaks tbh, but then you should get a good 5-6 months out of them from consistent use before the grip really starts to wither down. If you are a casual gamer who only plays for a few hours per week though then I would just get those cheap thumb-grip ones, but if you are someone who likes to play video games frequently and for a lengthy amount of time (competitively or not), then these will definitely make your gaming experience better. Hope this could help fellow gamers!

    The short stick on the left and long stick on the right, actually benefit you on more than just shooter games. The left stick is slightly taller making it a more practical stick for everything from racing games to games where you alternate between foot and vehicle. The vortex shaped KF’s are comfortable, never tried the others. I do recommend anyone who plays games to get these, they are nothing but a bonus to own, and they are removable if you desire to switch back, unlike permanent mods. Well made product, not a gimmick like many other products for gaming.

    Been using KontrolFreeks since Black Ops 2 many years ago. At first it was an odd feeling having the thumb stick a lot higher but man, the difference is definitely game changing once you get used to it. DO NOT GIVE UP AFTER A FEW HOURS! Alot more accurate in all games i play! These orange ones are definitely the best for Shooters because of the domed style. A lot of these reviews saying they pop off a lot confuse me because these fit perfectly and the only way they can pop off is if you’re literally TRYING to push them off with all your force, or maybe they got the wrong ones for what console they’re one. Let me be clear, THESE ONES DO NOT FIT ON THE PS5 THUMBSTICKS SO YOULL NEED TO BUY THE CORRECT ONES

    A long time ago I thought these were a complete gimmick. While they still kind of are, they actually really do help once you get used to them! I wish that the taller one, which I use on the right stick for COD, had a little bit grippier design. It takes a little bit to get used to these, but once you do, it actually does make a difference in your ability to better control your aim. I’ve also noticed that they’ve maybe made the biggest difference for me with being able to quickly snap aim from one enemy to another. They don’t cost that much — give them a try!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersDevo ammettere che ero molto titubante se acquistare “2 gommini” a 17 euro, perch non ne capivo l’effettiva utilit; sororesa per dopo poche ore di utilizzo con CALL OF DUTY e ho capito di non poterne fare pi a meno;
    se gi avete un buona precisione di mira, ma anche se siete principianti, questi gommini vi aiuteranno tantissimo ad alzare la sensibilit a stancarvi meno nelle lunghe sessioni di gioco e vi offrono protezione alla levetta nel tempo. Io proprio per fare forte pressione sulla levetta tradizionale sinistra ho gi rotto 2 pad; con questi VORTEX invece basta un tocco leggerissimo, avendo un ottima aderenza al dito. Purtroppo il sinistro se avete la tendenza a giocare “duro”, tende a venire via, la scelta giusta forse i 2 gommini alti. Ottimo invece il fatto che uno sia concavo e l’altro convesso. un articolo di altissima qualit ma vi consiglio di usarlo col pad originale per avere l’aderenza ottimale ed apprezzarne l’utilita; io l’ho anche provato su pad PDP xbox compatibile e non ci stanno proprio precisissimi, ma si riesce a giocare lo stesso.
    Pu inoltre esserci il rischio che per capire quale sia il gommino pi adatto a voi, dobbiate provarne anche altri, nel mio caso sono stato fortunato e vanno benissimo cos, ricordatevi sempre che il reso amazon cmq gratuito.
    Concludendo non assegno 5 stelle perch ritengo cmq che il prezzo sia leggermente alto, anche se non sono pentito dell’acquisto e li consiglio a chi vuole migliorare l’esperienza di gioco degli FPS di acquistarli ad occhi chiusi ovviamentenon fanno miracoli se siete proprio alle prime armi.
    P.s. io ho le mani piccole, ma quello alto di dx lo muovo benissimo senza nessuna fatica o sforzi al pollice.
    PRO:
    SIGNIFICATIVI MIGLIORAMENTI SU MOVIMENTO VELOCIT E PRECISIONE
    MATERIALI E DESIGN OTTIMI
    FANNO QUELLO CHE PROMETTONO
    2 ALTEZZE E FORME DIVERSE

    CONTRO:
    PREZZO ALTO
    IL SINISTRO TENDE A MUOVERSI E USCIRE IN FASI MOLTO CONCITATE DI GIOCO
    POCA COMPATIBILIT CON PAD NON ORIGINALE

    VOTO 8/9

    Indispensabile per FPS ma molto costoso.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI use this for the PowerA Fusion Pro Controller (Xbox ONe) and these work great on its sticks. If you are someone who prefers to rest their thumb near the center of the joystick with a bit of wiggle room then the mid-rise stick is for you. I use it on the right stick (aiming) for Fortnite and COD. Sadly, I do not use the high rise stick so I really paid for just one stick. For the left I prefer a domed stick that came with my PowerA controller.

    Galaxys are good but I find them hard to use if my thumb gets sweaty as the ridges it has tends to accumulate more sweat. Also I am not used to leaving my thumb on the edge of the stick.

    Die Sticks sind aus hochwertigen Materialen gefertig und bereichern das Spielvergngen sowie die Performance. Der rechte Ausatz hlt bombenfest, der linke leider nicht ganz. Er lsst sich mit leichter Kraft drehen und lst sich bei starker Krafteinwirkung (Sekiro-Bossfights ^^). Anonsten alles Top, besonders fr Shooter ein notwendiges Add-On. Ich mchte nie wieder ohne spielen!
