KontrolFreek FPS Freek Galaxy Purple for PlayStation 4 (PS4) and PlayStation 5 (PS5) | Performance Thumbsticks | 1 High-Rise, 1 Mid-Rise | Purple

Great thumb pads that aren’t useful for just FPS games. Wife has been using these for a few weeks playing action adventures and RPGs. Takes a little bit of getting used to but once you do then going back to the stock sticks feels like a huge downgrade. Risers make the movement of the sticks feel much smoother and the recessed pads have a good grip. Wish they had more color varieties for this model but it’s not a deal breaker. I’ve used the Lotus pads too which are fine but these have a better thumb feel.

Perfect fit

Fit fine, work good, and the grip is nice

Why the 4-star review instead of 5: After removing and placing a Kontrol Freek on my right stick for Rainbow Six Siege and then transferring it to my left stick for MLB: The Show, I realized there was damage to my thumbsticks. My solution is to simply have one controller for use of Kontrol Freeks on a left stick and one controller for use of Kontrol Freeks on a right stick. An even better option is to invest in the Dual Sense Edge or a professional controller equivalent to remove the thumbsticks with the Kontrol Freeks on them and place them where they're wanted/needed. A 5-star Kontrol Freek, in my opinion, is one that can wrap around your thumbstick and be secure without damaging the thumbstick after removal and placement. The people who have shown complaints about this product ruining their thumbsticks remove and replace them too regularly. If you're playing a competitive game and invest in Kontrol Freeks, I would also invest in the ability to replace your sticks with the Dual Sense Edge or another equivalent capable of doing so. If not, then I recommend to LEAVE THE KONTROL FREEKS ON FOR THAT SPECIFIC DEFAULT CONTROLLER.

I still remember the days before they had these when my fingers would slip off the stick. These help so much! I play Prince of Persia: Lost Crown and I mostly use the mid-rise on the movement stick and it's helped my comfort and my gameplay a lot.

Using a high rise on the right stick with mid rise on the left. At first I couldn’t tell much of a difference but after using them for weeks my k/d ratio was up overall and my aim especially flick aiming was much better. As a test I removed them and tried playing without them for a couple days and noticed a huge difference. I could never play without them now. 15 dollars is worth the improvement and comfort they offer imo. It’s relatively cheap so you might as well give it a go. I’d suggest starting out with a low on the left stick and a mid the right then work your way up to higher rise grips as you get use to the higher stick placement. Even two low rise grips extend your sticks by a descent amount, offer better aim/movement, smaller deadzones, and a much better grip/texture over the default sticks. I use these on both the Xbox one X gamepad and PS4 Pro gamepad as well. Would use them for my Nintendo Switch Lite but can’t see to find them for it. Only generic options. I have this set, few other solid color sets, destiny set, and the Inferno set. They last roughly 1-2 years with an average playtime of about 2-5 hours a day in my experience. That’s definitely worth 15 dollars to me. If you only play on weekends or here and there they will last several years.

Very grippy

Just buy them, Second time owning a pair of these and always have loved them. Best with paddled controllers. They go on sale sometimes too
