I bought these in order to fix my thumb sticks, which had been worn down to the plastic. After putting these on it's like they've been given a second life. I love these. They're a lifesaver.

These work absolutely amazing. Easy to put on (no glue required like some say). They actually provide a noticeable difference in grip and are very comfortable. Used them on my xbox 360 controllers, and am ordering another set for my ps3 controllers. I used these on a marathon gaming session, which was pretty much a good part of a weekend. They never loosened or came off once, and my finger's never got sore (I think it feels better than the standard analog sticks).

The Grip-iT looks quit good, and comes with four separate thumb covers, they where quite easy to put on (Pro-Tip: Flip them inside out, place them over your thumbs-ticks and then flip them back down). They fit snugly n the ps3 and xbox360 controllers, and don't move around at all , even in high-directional based racing games). They barely add any height to your thumb-sticks so it won't feel much different (unlike the Fps-Freeks which feel really awkward) so don't buy it for the height or anything like that, but the grip is a LOT less than the original thumb-sticks. My thumbs seem to start sweating (slightly) because of the synthetic material they're made out of, which can reduce the grip for longer gaming sessions. I like this on the Xbox360 controller as I don't like the concave surface of their thumb-stick, however on the ps3 I don't really use it. In my opinion it should only be used if you are looking for a cheap way to gain grip on a worn out thumb-stick (as it's much cheaper than getting a new controller). I personally only use it on the Xbox360 controller (as I previously stated) as I grew up on the Ps1/2 and the Gamecube (which all had convex surfaces) as I am able to yield more control on them. If you have worn down thumb-sticks give these a go, the grip isn't as good as the original but it's relatively inexpensive and might just do the trick for you :). Thank you for reading.

I first picked a set of these up when Amazon had their buy 2 get 1 half off video game accessory sale. I was curious to try these and for $2.50 a set it wasn't that much risk.

I'm happy to say that after receiving them and putting a set on both my Xbox360 controller and PS3 controller I love them and I have to switch them around to my different controllers when the batteries die on one. These work great for FPS games like Black Ops or Halo Reach on the Xbox. I've also used them for Gran Turismo 5 on PS3 and they're awesome.

Pros:

Improve your thumb grips so they don't slip off an you need to re-adjust your thumbs.

Very soft and stay on your analog sticks.

Perfect fit.

Cons:

On the PS3 controller it is possible to max out a certain direction on the stick and the 'Grip It' will rub the controller a little. Can be remedied with proper alignment I think. Not an issue on Xbox360, plenty of clearance.

I've purchased 2 more sets for my friends and family for the holidays this year and I recommend these to any friends and family looking for a better grip on their worn out controllers.
