Kontrol Freek Grips help make the Xbox One control comfortable, and keep my hands from cramping up.
Lately, we’ve been playing Star Wars Battlefront. There is nothing quite like watching my daughter force choke some other player. Thing is, I can’t play much of anything for very long, before my hands ache. I’ve previously written about how Kontrol Freek’s button extensions help my hands, and now I find their Grips pretty amazing.
These thin foam pads simply peel and stick to your controller. They are moderately reposition-able and maintain their stick for a few peels and move-arounds. It is fairly simple to get them right the first time, however. Once in place they add some much needed cushion and thickness to the controller.
We’ve been using one for several weeks. Over time the cloth layer that covers the foam will start to separate, but it really isn’t a big deal and doesn’t impact the effectiveness of these pads. I’ve found Control Freek Grips, matched with the button extensions, change my video game experience from one of needing some anti-inflammatories to relatively pain-free play!
