I mainly purchased the KontrolFreeks for the grips so my thumbs aren't slipping occasionally like they do on my Dual sense controller's thumsticks. The mid-high rise feature definitely help but I felt that the grips themselves are the most important factor here for my case. I was already well versed on my stock thumsticks for both Xbox One and PS5 controllers but these non-slip thumstick grips improve at keeping aim consistent while handling recoil by avoiding any slipping or inconsistency. This is especially helpful in many of the tactical and mil-sim shooters I often play such as Ready or Not, Insurgency Sandstorm, and Squad which have huge amounts of recoil in every weapon you use. Holding down recoil consistently is a must in these games since alot of situations in them are mid to long range combat. I've seen a few reviews of people saying these take a while to get your muscle memory used to the new stick height but I had no problems using them the first minute I played a match in Insurgency with them on. So don't be afraid to try these out if you're concerned about adapting. You may find it more beneficial immediately after using them for the first time!
