Unfortunately, they spend all our money on marketing. I'd prefer not to contribute to the "basics" empire either, but honestly, these things are commodity pieces of plastic and shouldn't cost $15. These are quite well made and feel like quality. I'll update if they don't last, but given the design and how strongly they seem to be clipped in, I don't know how they can prematurely fail. These help me with FPS games like COD, and I only use it on the right, aiming stick. YMMV if you press/push/rub harder than others. Seem pretty good on my first couple of sessions with what I consider is normal use and pressure. KF's had a good run with their "innovation" and have profited plenty by overcharging for these. Glad these are here and normalizing pricing for this item. Review: Good control freak alternative - Its a good and less expensive control freak alternative. They are a little stiff to get on at first, but they work. Control freaks are better quality, but these will work fine.

Finally, the right price for KF's
These are the price KF's should be. Unfortunately, they spend all our money on marketing. I'd prefer not to contribute to the "basics" empire either, but honestly, these things are commodity pieces of plastic and shouldn't cost $15. These are quite well made and feel like quality.

Good control freak alternative
Its a good and less expensive control freak alternative. They are a little stiff to get on at first, but they work. Control freaks are better quality, but these will work fine.

Best deal i could find. Very happy.
I love these things, especially at the price i paid (7.33 prime for the blue and black 2 pairs option). I have one set on a PS branded dualshock 4 controller, and the other on an aftermarket PS controller. I also tested the fitment on an XBOX one controller, and it clicks on tightly to ALL of them. My only gripe is that even at this price point--which in fairness was the lowest i could find anywhere, including wish and e-bay--they are still kind of expensive for what they are. I am sure someone will 3D print some cheap versions, but for now, i am satisfied. The only things that could possibly make these joystick extenders better other than a lower price point are remarkably minor and possibly cosmetic: 1. More color options. Not a big deal for me, personally, but may influence some people. 2. Better texture on top. The existing surface doesn't quite have the grip i want, but a textured silicone cap does the trick for me personally (and would also solve the color issue some people may have.)

Not a fan
Bought these for 2 reasons. The rubber was pulling off the joysticks and to see if I liked the added hight. Well if the rubber is completely not there these do not fit tight enough and come off during game play. And just wasn't a fan of the added hight. Returned

Amazing price value
i thought these where gonna be bad because of it being cheap compared to the kontrol freaks these are really good amazing grip and even easier to put on and take off the thumb stick also very sturdy i say these are just as good if not better for price then the others on market i recommend them

A few improvements and these could easily be 5*.
You're busy. Let's get straight to the point: Pros: + Extensions feel natural, not too short, not too tall + No stick rubbing + Very reactive and plenty of movement Cons: - "Pads" are hard plastic, slippery - that's a deal killer for me - Clips are very weak. - Price, too high for nothing but plastic Details: I use 2 Battle Beaver Custom controllers for the PS4 as each has different options. I wanted another set of KontrolFreeks but without the KF price. I tried these given many of the reviews are positive, but they're not for me. I tried adding grip tops, but the curved plastic piece is too large. 3 days after receiving them, I was swapping them to the other controller when one of the clasps broke, making the stick completely useless. I will never understand why these companies can't design a wrap around system instead of using clips. Wait, I do know why, but I'm not buying these again. If you're the type of gamer where using the indentation of your thumb is how you control movement, these may work very well for you as the hard plastic dome will fit snuggly in the indentation. If you're like me and you use the edge to move them, these will not work for you. Had the tips been rubber or silicon coated, I believe this would have made it useful for all types of gamers. Hope this short and simple review helped. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Your game play will influence your satisfaction
I guess the gamers in the reviews that love these, either dont really play or dont play first person shooter games. They fall off every single time during the first or second encounter with the enemy. Tried both pairs on two different genuine PS controllers and disappointingly they just dont stay on. Threw the box away or I would send them back. Seeking alternative and wondering if the major brand should have been my first choice after all. Granted, these are half the price: and they do stay on when I am not using them, so technically they stay on half the time 😬

Fits on PS5 controller too
i got a ps5 and not a ps4 but i did notice that the original control freeks sell ps4 thumb grips for ps5 controllers too so i went and orders these anyway, and they fit perfect for my ps5 controller, def recommend these instead of kontrol freeks, cheaper and there’s no difference besides that you get a pair of 2 in this order which is better
