Purchased for my Grandson. The cover itself goes on well, looks nice and does the job, but just be warned… the thumb grips are almost impossible to get on! They are so fiddly and difficult. We still haven’t managed it yet 🙁
Perhaps this could be made easier in future?!
I not a hard core player, I play probably once or twice a week so I am unsure on the durability for heavy use (although I do feel it would hold its own)
It was very easy to put on, feels lovely when playing with a good grip
1 star missing as the case isn’t tight enough as some others mentioned as well. However, it’s not something that gets in the way, so not a huge issue. Overall it’s great and does what it says, satisfied.
Perfect! Colour matches the picture, soft but sturdy to use, the thumb grips are very good and comfortable. Other reviews suggest not very good charging with dock however I have no issue on the genuine PlayStation equipment. Very good
So I like and always have liked just stock console hardware…until the PS5 pad, it felt quite slippy and I thought about buying a different pad but then I stumbled across this Play Vital grip and analogue stick grips and soon as I fitted them it felt so much more solid! That squidge of the silicone and the raised bumbs are so much more grippy than stock.
So the analogue grips, I found them to be a bit abrasive so I found a paid of Kontrol Freaks Galaxies in white and as I said I don’t like 3rd party stuff I thought it was gimmicky but these KFs Galaxy pads are soo nice on the thumbs you just don’t care what it looks like as it feels great so highly recommend Kontrol Freaks thumb pads if you see them on offer.
I definitely feel that these grips add value to the way that the controller feels in the hand, and the main grip cover was a doddle to fit. But, wow, the thumb controller grips certainly were a bit fiddly – the video makes popping them insider out to fit over the thumb controllers look easy, maybe mine was an exception to that rule, but that did take some time to get right. Now they are on, I am certain they won’t slip off! All that being said, I’d definitely buy these again should I ever need more.
Really like these skins. They’re an easy way of changing the appearance of your controller if you fancy a change (I purchased the white one). They fit really well, and give you a nice grip for long gaming sessions.
The only downside- as pointed out by a previous reviewer- is that when the skin is on, the controller does not sit flush on the PS Dual sense charging station, so you can’t charge it. (Unsure whether this would also be the case on third party ones, or whether it’s unique to the official one).
Either way, I now can only charge it by cable (unless I remove the skin), which is a bit inconvenient.
The cover fits perfectly with no baggy loose parts like all the rest i have used. Its made of quality thick rubber material that snaps snuggly around the whole controller. Puzzles me how some have said they were snapped as they are packaged well enough. All you have to do is always hold the thicker bits never the thinner parts and ease them over carefully. I could see over stretching tearing them but a bit of care and you’ll be fine. The nobbles give great grip and are way better than the bear controller. No sweating no slipping feels comfortable in your hands.
The thumb grips are way better than the cheaper ones and theyre so simple to install too. You just turn them inside out place them in the middle and let them snap back over the stick too. Job done. Like i said ive had loads and the rest have always been too thick restricting your play. So when you push forward the grip hits the rubber cover and impedes it. Meaning your having to put loads of pressure to go in the direction you want to go. That does not happen with these at all and i can see a lot of precise and quality work went into both the cover and grips.
They maybe a little dearer than some but are well worth the extra. Just get some you wont be disappointed.
