KontrolFreek FPS Freek Galaxy Performance Kit for PlayStation 5 Controller (PS5) | Includes Performance Thumbsticks and Performance Grips | Purple

It works fantastically!

Great for improving precision. Very comfortable fit for my boyfriend’s large hands! May not be a perfect fit for someone with small hands such as myself, but is excellent for the person it was intended for. He hasn’t experienced any issues and loves the style. The set with comfort grips included is worth it.

These are fantastic, plus the padding on controller is nice to feel.

Easy to install and looks great. The kit is cheaper than buying the kontrolfreeks and controller skin separately.

Sticks:

I first purchased KontrolFreeks for my DualShock 4 a few years ago and loved them to the point where I do not like playing without them. I had purchased both the Galaxy and Omni sticks with my comfort preference being the Omnis but those did have an issue where the rubber separated from the hard plastic after a few years. I can’t really be mad at that because after a 1,000+ hours with something, it’s hard to really be mad if it kind of falls apart.

When I got my new Galactic Purple DualSense, I wanted to get new sticks and was assuming I’d get a new pair of Omnis but I’m kind of obsessed with aesthetics so when I saw this kit with the lavender color and the Galaxy sticks that I know I liked, this was the direction I went.

Let’s get the first thing out the way, anyone who thinks these actually make you better are just under the placebo effect. “But my KDR went from 1.41 to 1.49! ARGUE THE RESULTS, BRO!”

If you play a game long enough, you get better at it. The little rubber things you now put your thumbs on didn’t do it for you.

That out of the way, I don’t care that they don’t make me better but I do care that they add a lot of comfort. The pad is bigger than the standard controller and they have a soft-ish rubber grip that’s more pleasant than the standard. They are so much more thumb friendly than the standard sticks that I won’t play without them.

I might go back to the Omnis in the future. I don’t mind the increased height on the right stick but the flat, large pad on the Omnis are more pleasant for me. I’d still not hesitate to recommend these.

Controller Grips:

These are soft, they do not make your hands sweat and in general just make the controller nicer to hold.

Now, the DualSense was really comfy on it’s own, it doesn’t need these by any means but I think it makes for a better controller experience. The material is soft and kind of has the memory foam feel so many products have now. Even with the surface being soft, it does add more grip because it has a slight texture to it.

The only reason I’m taking a star off is because these aren’t super easy to line up well. In one my pics you can see how the grip extends past the controller, but that could be user error.

The biggest “issue” is that the edges of the grip remain exposed AND sticky. They pick up some hair/dust here and there but not to a level that it really bothers me. It’s enough that I notice.

Overall both items make for a nicer-to-hold controller. They won’t make you better, but you’ll feel much better about how badly you suck because your controller is now super comfy.
