Pattern doesn't have the "grip" I was expecting.Had to rough it up with a fingernail file (sandpaper)Raising the sticks higher really made the joeystick the much more easier to use defiantly recommending this product 10/10 stars!!!!!!! :DMy friend has long ass fingers so playing on controller can get very tiring very quickly for him, got him these and he got his ps4 taken away until he finishes his ged, but the 3 days he used it he did say it helped a lot, I own a pair myslef, but go look for that review tho. This is about my dumb friend who finally got a way to play without cramping up jus to get his stuff taken away for being lazy.Didn’t like itGot these for my husband... Last night we got them after a rough day at work, he lit up when he got to try his new Kontrol Freeks!!!!His review: soft to touch, great slip resistance!!!! First game, he didn't have to get used to them he said they were comfortable he loves them! Doesn't know how he's played for years without them!!!!BACK STORY: he would play for HOURRRRSSSSS! With that he would start having trouble shooting bc his hands would sweat, his fingers would slip off the sticks and it would affect his KD. So, I bought off EBay some cheap grips with the rivets on them Which they glowed and looked like they'd catch you finger if it slipped. He liked them at FIRST, but after a few weeks... The divers wore off.So he did his research which led us to this brand and now we're here!So my POINT; if you have the same problems he had.... Then it's worth every penny!!!!Highly recommend these for any gamer out there. They make your stick movements more precise without having to move the sticks as much. The only problem I've had is that if every once in a great while they will pop off of the stick but I'd say that's mostly my fault.I wasnt sure were to start with KontrolFreek because I had never used them before, but after looking at their size chart I decided to go with a set of the tallest and a set of the short sticks to try out and go from there. These worked really well on the right stick for aiming, my fiance has smaller hands so the stick was a little to tall for their preference so keep that in mind when buying these, maybe go with a step or two down in sizes. Overall I really enjoy these and they have helped improve my aim by giving me more control.These things pop off constantly!These provide nothing but an inconvenience to my gaming, I bought these based on all of the reviews. I found these nothing but cumbersome and slippery. Used purely for sniping classes I find them useless. Just Dont botherAs someone who has 1000+ hours just in destiny, and 55x Flawlesses (D1), I can say that they really do make a difference. Whether or not that difference is worth the price you’re paying for is up to you but I would recommend Kontrol Freeks in general for pretty much any game, for anyone who plays regularly.helps alot while playoing gives you a better movementI do like them. Quite helpful when playing as a sniperGood product slow delivery
