Bought for my steam deck. I was a bit worried they would really alter the experience as some of these products usually do.
Fortunately that wasn’t the case at all and the joysticks aren’t grinding against the outer edges anymore.
Price is high but it’s the only one that seems to work flawlessly on Amazon for the deck.
My Steam Deck began to develop a commonly reported problem where the analogue sticks rub against the plastic housing, leaving a residue on the stick which grinded when I would use it. Considering my deck was brand new and I’d read that Valve doesn’t consider this to be worthy of a repair under warranty, I wanted to take steps to prevent this from getting worse.
These bands were recommended by someone on Reddit, and I didn’t hesitate to purchase them and give them a go.
For me, they were easy to apply. I used a pair of precision tweezers (not sharp) to gently pull them over the sticks, then push them into place. I haven’t had any issues with them folding – and I’ve had the orignal set on now for two months.
Yes, they are expensive for what they are. You are essentially buying tiny, flimsy, elastic bands.
However, if someone has asked me for 50 to completely eradicate this problem with my new and very expensive purchase, I would have paid it. This product is so effective at solving this problem that I forgot about it almost entirely.
Not only that, but my analogue sticks feel even better now. I’d describe it as more smooth, overall.
Not to mention you get several pairs, I can’t imagine I’ll ever run out as the first pair are still holding up like day 1.
TL;DR: If you’re willing to spend the amount of money you have on a Steam Deck, you should definitely fork over the for these.
Die Gummis sind qualitativ gut und schtzen die Sticks effektiv vor Abrieb. Der Preis ist allerdings unangemessen. Halb so teuer wre auch noch teurer genug gewesen.
They are a little bit of a pain to put on as the bands are slightly creased when you first put them on. Easy to sort out with a pair of tweezers and they’re all good. Does the job nicely and gives a peace of my mind on giving my Steam Deck extra protection.
Good fit better than others for sale on Amazon, good amount and we’ll priced too. Does get a little sticky to move the stick when pressed fully in one direction and rotating but that’s what you would expect with these, if that bothers you then don’t buy. Otherwise, great!
Works great, feels good unless you make sweeping rotations along the outer edge which, obviously now have a lot more friction. Don’t notice it unless I go out of my way.
Joysticks on my deck were getting dinged up by the chassis and which made moving the joysticks feel gritty.
these little rubber bands are perfect to get rig of that problem, they are perfectly colour matched to the joystick and they make the joysticks quieter too as a bonus if you use your deck in quiet places.
Cumplen su funcion?? SI
no s cuanto tiempo durarn ya que son muy finas pero por ahora aguantan… me parecen carsimas para ser un par de trozos de goma pero no vi mas opciones y lo cierto es que a mi steam deck se le estaba empezando a desgastar por rozadura el joystick izquierdo. Ahora est protegido y no molestan al jugar ni nada. Tampoco se aprecian visualmente. Estan bien pero como dije me parecen caras.
Although way too expensive for what they are – a bunch of small thin white elastic bands – they do work. The pack I received fitted over the joystick thumb pad fine, and after a bit of fiddling to ensure the bands were flat and not folded over themselves, installation was complete.
Elasticity remained intact after being stretched over the thumbpads and they have not become loose, staying firmly in position. I know other reviews had problems with the bands not retaining their elasticity but in my case I didn’t have a faulty batch and they work perfectly.
Note – the picture shows my right thumbstick with 3rd party thumbgrip after the band was installed – the thumbgrip was taken off before installing the band.
Sind leider etwas zu gro fr den ROG Ally und rutschen zu weit runter – schade. Passen aber perfekt auf 8bitdo und xbox elite gamepads.
Leider aber sehr teuer, vermutlich lsst sich das gleiche auch mit etwas Teflonband erreichen.

These are great! they stopped the grinding on my left stick, they make the rotation a bit spongey and resistive to start with but that soon goes away.
Fixed the joysticks grinding against the sides of the casing well, just as I hoped, perfect, and came with plenty of spares that I haven’t needed yet.
