Snagged the purple-on-silver set for my Xbox Series X controller in 2025.
Pros
• Precision boost is real: High-rise right stick (10mm added) sharpens aim in CoD, Apex, and Halo Infinite – my KD jumped ~20% after a week.
• Mid-rise left stick (6.5mm) improves movement without feeling clunky.
• Laser-etched grip is stellar; no slip during 4-hour sessions, even sweaty.
• Snap on/off in seconds, protects stock sticks from wear.
Cons
• Adjustment period: First few games felt off until muscle memory kicked in.
• Pricey for plastic, but beats buying new controllers.
Bottom line: Essential for FPS grinders. Turned my average aim into something competitive – worth every penny if you hate missing headshots.

These KontrolFreek black edition thumbsticks are absolutely awesome! They look sleek and understated, and the performance boost is real.
They were super easy to install and instantly improved my grip and control during intense gaming sessions. The comfort level is great — even after long hours of play my thumbs don’t get fatigued like they used to. I’ve definitely noticed tighter aim and smoother movement in every game I’ve tried.
If you’re looking for an affordable way to upgrade your controller and enhance your gameplay, these thumbsticks are a must-have. Highly recommend!

Amazing. They really provide great leverage and feel. They last a long time.

My 3rd set of control freeks and my favorite so far, the different height sticks are great for fps games and the provide much more grip and better control than the stock Xbox sticks. They have also updated them sense my last pair and they are much easier to take on and off while staying on securely during use which is a welcome change.

They help improve aim and feeling of controller!!
Would definitely recommend. But quick note if you own a game-sir controller like the G7 the joy sticks are like playstation ones so get the pS5 version. Had to find out the hard way!

I’ve been using the KontrolFreek Galaxy thumbsticks for a couple of weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the performance boost they offer. Right out of the box, the quality feels premium — the rubber is grippy but not too abrasive, and the concave tops keep my thumbs locked in even during intense matches especially when playing those higher competitive matches.

I buy these for all of my controllers because I have bigger hands. They take time to get used to, but have greatly improved my accuracy and have prevented me from pressing the touchpad on ps5/4 midfight lol

My go to thumb grips. Provides great traction for long sessions. Surprisingly comfortable. Easy to attach , incredibly sturdy. Best of all they don't wear down fast. You get a lot of good use from them before you need to replace them.

Easy to plug and play, good texture and grip. Expensive for what it is.
