I read that as 'gripes'.

I'll try these out. I don't have too much of a problem, but they might feel good for MW2.

Yeah I bought them ages ago, but they kept slipping of the analog stick and I didnt want to stick them on permanently becasue I didnt find them brilliant.

These on the other hand are fantastic, I cant use my controller without them on now

They are brilliant alright, my only problem is that when you get frustrated at something and do your usual slamming of the of controller (or heavily placing) to the floor, they fly off making you search for em for hours! Sometimes even placing them lightly causes this..

CombatCow

lol yeah I know exactly what you mean, happend me yesterday and it flew under the christmas tree,pain in the arse :rolleyes:

Funny i have the opposite experience. The triggers fly off my controller every 10 minutes, the geltabz analog stick grips stay on. I love them both though.
Im contemplating getting out some superglue.

To the OP have a look at Geltabz stick covers, if i remember correctly they were about €4 from gametrain in the UK. They have been great. They're loud looking but good quality. Also the ones you linked on Ebay seem to be convex, which in my opinion is the worst thing about the DS3 sticks. The Geltabz covers are concave, very comfy.

Yes, yes you are

CombatCow

Well in fairness the top of the analog controller is slightly convex so the rubber caps pronounce it a bit more, the little grips around the outside are to prevent slippage.

Yep combatcow is right indeed. I think theyre really thin covers so the natural shape of it causes it to indeed be convex.

The ones i have you take off the original stick covers and lob on the new ones, to be honest its the convex thing that bothers me most, the geltabz ones are soft silicone sort of thing as well, so theyre very good and very ugly

If the whole grip on the sticks is some tiny rubber nubs which are on all of these addons they will wear off and your left with a lot less grip. It depends on the material and the shape, so i dunno.


Theyre actually the grips i was originally looking at, or very like them, couldnt find anywhere to get them outside the US at the time i think.
