Product Description

The original joystick will be protected from damage. (NOT TO BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE)
To meet the needs of gamers, there are three pairs of thumb grips, each with a unique design.
The extra height and active radius have increased accuracy.
Made of a special "grippy" material that improves friction and sensitivity for a better gaming experience.

Questions & Answers

What is the height of the longer extenders?

I'm not sure how tall they are, but they're necessary for me to play. I bought all of the inexpensive ones from Amazon, but they were never as good as these. There is nothing on Amazon that compares to these for any system. On Amazon, the grip, fit, and height options are simply the best. There was no need to look elsewhere. I've got them for both the Xbox and the Nintendo Switch.

Do you think you could make these for the Nintendo Switch?

No, they're too big, but they're made for the switch.

Is it still possible to use it if my original silicone grips are missing?

Yes, we did replace the ones that were missing.

Will these come undone if the rubber wears out?

Yes, they're designed to grip the stick's existing rubber. I'd recommend purchasing new sticks to replace the old ones; with the right tools and a video, it's not that difficult. It takes about 10 minutes, and if you take your time, the chances of breaking something are very slim.

Selected User Reviews For Skull & Co. Skin, CQC and FPS Thumb Grips Joystick Cap Analog Stick Cover for Xbox Controller- Black, Set of 6

Good, but keep in mind that the width is so thick that it will change your maximum radius
4/5

I had these in the Joy Con edition in black with no skull logo (sorry, it's nicer that way) to make playing MH Rise on my Switch Lite a little more bearable. The FPS Style one, without the addition of a second pair, was ideal, but they became loose and flipped off over time. br>I put the biggest ones on the backbone of my iPhone's iOS controller, which had a lot of fun with it. con- esque sticks, and they made it feel instantly at ease, but they also. It was stretched out and ready to pop off at the first sign of friction. It's like being stuffed into a hoodie pocket. (That was an early model for joy cons; I hope they've improved since most of them got lost due to the flipping off, but they did make things a lot more comfortable with action games and other things. )br>br>Back to this model: br>I recently purchased a new Xbox x|s controller as well as the Xbox-specific (yellow) grip. I threw the arguably thinnest "skin" on my backbone controller's right stick, which was down a grip, using the "CQC set" on my controller. TLDR: TLDR: TLDR: TLDR: TLDR: TLDR: TLDR: TLDR br>Anything with a low stick height will be harmed by this model. That makes sense because it's designed for taller buttons. But I was hoping it would be designed to stretch inwards rather than having the majority of the rubber on the edges. Unless you do a tall stick customization (like with the elite 2 sticks), it reduces the maximum radius on ANYTHING you put it on. br>br>Go ahead and use a radius calibration tool for your xbox specific controller on your PC to see if you don't see it with xbox controllers because it happens with them as well as the variant use "lemme toss this on this funky little off brand slice I have over here. " br>br>I think the texture is great, and I still like the design concept; they don't flip off like the early Switch Lite/Joy Con ones did. Keep working on it; I'm sure there's a better way to improve the "stay on" grip without thickening the radius to the point where it changes the controller's maximum radius profile. They are something I keep purchasing.

How is it that no one is aware of these? Over the years, I'm pretty sure I used a lot of Kontrol Freeks grips
5/5

My most recent vortex kontrol freeks for my Xbox controller lasted only 4 months before the grips began to show signs of wear. These Skull and Co grips, on the other hand, appear to be far more durable than any other grip I've used in the last three years. The best part is that they're less expensive, and you get three pairs to choose from. I am confident that these will last a long time and that I will purchase more in the future. I strongly advise you to get your hands on these grips.

I've tried a lot of different things and this is the best of them
5/5

I've spent a significant amount of money looking for replacement thumb sticks for my Xbox One/Series X/S controllers. I crave the soft rubber feel of my thumbsticks, but all I can find is a hard rubber with no grip. Thumb grip covers were next on my list of things to try. Before I found these, I purchased four different ones. I figured it was worth a shot. They are without a doubt the best in the business. They use a material that is both grippy and non-fatiguing to the thumb. They're a lot easier to put together than taking apart your controller to put thumbsticks on, and they feel like they'll last a long time. The two of the six that are raised are also very nice. BUY THESE if you're in the market for new thumbsticks. You won't be dissatisfied with the results.

It's not going anywhere! I've experimented with a number of different generic silicone thumbstick covers
5/5

The majority of them are too loose and fall off the stick in the middle of a game. These are very secure and don't move around. On the stick, they can't even be spun. They have the appearance of having been installed by the controller's manufacturer. They have a tacky feel to them on the thumb, so they won't slip! If I don't use covers, the rubber on the thumbstick wears out in a month and tears off. Even if each one only lasts a month, it's still a lot less expensive than buying new controllers every month or tearing them apart to install new sticks. I'm using a PDP Xbox controller with these. I'm guessing they'd work the same way on the Microsoft version as well. br>br>I never thought I'd say this about thumbstick covers, but these are a world apart from the generic ones.

They are both comfortable and appealing
5/5

After scouring the many, many thumb grips available, I decided to make my own. These, in my opinion, are the most effective. Three sets of very soft rubber grips are included; these thumb grips are extremely soft and comfortable. Some thumb grips are made of a tougher plastic that snaps onto the thumb sticks and then stretches out to cover the grip like a second skin. They aren't overly flashy, with ludicrous "gamer-inspired" designs; instead, they keep things simple, which helps them blend in with your controller rather than stand out. Skull has excellent quality for such a low price. Co. a fantastic product was created!.

For FPS, this is great
5/5

This is fantastic. There are many different heights and they are very grippy. Before this, I had the kontrol freek vortex, but the taller stick was a little too tall for me. These are just right, and they go great with an Elite Series 2 controller because you can mix and match the different sized sticks to get your ideal height. I highly recommend these because they are such a good deal!.

a very nice job- dads
5/5

I wanted to get some thumb stick covers after getting a nice XBOX controller and seeing a friend's, but these seem to be made of the same material as the AAA quality thumbsticks. Additionally, the cyberpunk color scheme complements my green controller nicely.

There are some of the best grips available
5/5

I've tried a few others that were close, but these are the best. The price is reasonable, and you have plenty of grip options.
