Joystick Protectors, Invisible Protection During Gaming, Silicone, Compatible with Steam Deck/Xbox/Switch Pro Controller/PS4/PS5/ROG Ally/8 BitDo Game Joystick(10 Pcs)

Updated review: I had an issue with my order and the store reached out to me and corrected the problem. It’s rare to have such proactive and helpful customer service. I would buy from them again. The silicone rings work really well on my steam deck. I also used them on various controllers I have here. On controllers like a base model Xbox controller with plastic stems it really helps stop all the stick slapping noises and smooths out the rotation. I do not feel hindered on any controllers by using these (I was originally worried they would slow the action down, but if anything it just makes the rotation if the sticks a smoother experience.. They will just reduce wear and tear on the sticks and reduce slapping stick noises. On my Xbox elite controllers these work too, but with the removable metal sticks it felt like it has less of an effect since the polished metal sticks already give smooth action around the stick ring. The ps5 controller, the base model Xbox controllers, steam deck, and switch pro controller all seem to benefit the most from these rings. The main reason I got these was to prevent the white paint wearing off my steam deck sticks. It was nice seeing how beneficial these are on all my other controllers. I feel like this is a nice aftermarket controller upgrade I wasn’t ever considering up until now.

I bought these to use on my steam deck and Xbox elite controller. On the steam deck they work fantastic, they fit snug and greatly enhance the smoothness of the analog sticks. On the Xbox elite controller, they work the just as well for the default height sticks, but if you're using the taller analog sticks, they may slide up from the base of the stick, eventually sliding up enough to where they're no longer working and you need to push them back down. However, that is a minor inconvenience compared to the smoothness they provide. In both instances the analog sticks feel better, gliding smoother around the edges. In addition, I'm not noticing the edges of the controller gouging into the stick material. Installation is easy but can be a little tricky if you don't get it straight, it may help to have a pair of tweezers nearby to help straighten it out or pull it straight if you roll it over itself by mistake while trying to get it over the top of the stick. Overall I'm happy with the product and would buy it again.

I got these specifically to protect my controllers from the plastic erosion caused by the sticks rubbing against the gates constantly. These do just that. They're fairly easy to put on, and they glide nicely against the gates. However, they get a star off because they aren't perfect. They seem to have a tendency to slide around and bunch up. It's not a big deal, I can settle them back in place when I'm done, but it's a little annoying to have to. Also, I had one split in half on one of my controllers from rubbing against the gate. I suspect the edge of the gate is just a bit too sharp and should have been chamfered slightly in its own design, but the fact that it tore one of these protectors tells me this material isn't as durable as I had hoped. That was, however, one protector out of several that I have installed on other controllers, so it might simply be an abberation. Still, 4/5 stars is a good review. I'd recommend these to others, and I intend to buy more for future controllers as well.

These are one of the few things every Rog ally X needs. I love them. Makes the thumb stick feel smoother. Also protects the thumb stick as the Ally x has sharp RGB that cuts into them

They definitely work for their intended use. My left joystick was scratching the outer housing of my ROG Ally Z1X. It was gouging the black plastic on the joystick, removing plastic and leaving markings on the LED outer housing. I could even feel the scratchy roughness of the part of joystick that had scratch damage. These protectors do work for my problem, they feel nicely cushioned and are very thin as to not significantly interfere with the range of motion. Do keep in mind that it does ever so slightly increase friction. It isn't a real problem and the product helps more than it hurts, just keep in mind that it does add a slight friction increase, but shouldn't cause any issues. It might even add more control to your movements, depending. Overall, I recommend this product and would buy again, but if they had a slicker version, I would rather buy that.

I was looking for mods to improve the look and feel of my Steam Deck and stumbled on this product. It's a little overpriced but I have no regrets. The silicon bands fit perfectly on the stock joysticks without modification. Takes some massaging to get them perfectly situated. They do improve the experience when playing with softer/quieter joystick impacts and presumably will improve durability as a result. Still going strong after a couple months of use. The package also came with extras so I can replace them if they do wear out or add them to Hal effect joysticks when I upgrade.

I love these! Such a simple little thing but it makes gaming so much smoother and protects the sticks more. Gone are the days of the "click clack" against the plastic rim. Slip one of these small bands on and its smooth sailing. There's a bit of friction and they could wear over a long time but you're given plenty in case that happens. I don't see any reason not to use these. Affordable, durable, easy to apply, and doesn't cause any problems with stick movement. Give them a shot!

Got these for my ps5 controllers. Fit was okay but a bit loose and extremely sticky and very rubbery on use of the joystick. They were ripped on the left joystick in less than a month. Do not buy! EDIT: found that due to them being damaged with normal usage and play, that my controllers analog sticks had become scratched and thus damaged with this products false sense of security. Very cheaply made product and not good to use!! Literally use anything else: Electric tape worked for me, bought some kevlar tape perfectly fit for controllers but do not use this product if you want to protect your analogs on your controllers

I bought this for my steam deck as the left analogue was getting a little rough and scratchy when doing circles. It now feels perfectly smooth. Very little to no added drag at all. I’ve also put them on my Xbox controller just to make it a bit quieter and it worked for that too. Would definitely recommend. I would buy these again.

Le quedaron a mi steam deck

This is by far the best silicone protector for joysticks . Better than other brands I used

My joystick was starting to feel scratchy due to wear and tear, this helped it feel smooth again

Compré estos protectores para el Steam deck y le quedaron exactos. El stick ya con los protectores no se desliza tan fácilmente como lo hace sin ellos pero no considero que sea un problema para la jugabilidad, no he tenido que ajustar la sensibilidad de los sticks tampoco. He jugado juegos que no requieren movimientos tan rápidos como Little nightmares, y juegos que requieren reacciones más ágiles como Helldivers 2 y han aguantado bien. La cajita trae varios que creo son suficientes por lo que pagas. Lo que es cierto es que se desajustan un poco con cierta facilidad, lo cual tiene sentido ya que no están pegados al stick, solo es cosa de reajustarlos jalándolos tantito y listo.
