Dodly Duplan 3/5
Good fit but started peeling
Used on my DualSense Edge. Fit and color were great, but after months some peeling began, which was annoying despite the protection they offered.

Operator 5/5
Low-profile and easy to fit
Low profile and simple to install. I trimmed a small section near the face buttons for personal preference; otherwise excellent.

Crich 5/5
Better hold and look
We stick to this brand for accessories. These grips stop the controller from slipping and also look great.

Jennifer 5/5
Perfect for tight grips
I squeeze my controller hard and palms ached until I tried these. Best of the grips I’ve tested — bought more so every controller has them.

Stugots 5/5
Simple, effective upgrade
Easy to apply, strong adhesive, trim-to-fit for a perfect placement. Adds grip and feels good in hand.

Dennis Peace 5/5
Solid grip and durable feel
Excellent traction and comfortable in hand. Prevents sweat-related drops and gives enough height for easy button access. They’re thick and should last; just be careful when applying the tape.

William 4/5
Comfort boost with slight fit issues
They make the controller more comfortable, though the fit on my PS5 felt a bit odd and some edges lifted a little.

Robert 5/5
Stylish and effective
These made a big difference — ordering another set. Great adhesive and much better control. Aligning them takes patience but worth it.

Left sticky residue
When removed they left a sticky residue that’s been hard to clean — it ended up damaging my controller’s finish.

Julio brizuela 5/5
Great grip, careful on reapplication
Fantastic grip and really improves handling. Be gentle if you remove and reapply, because the adhesive weakens a bit with repeated adjustments.

J Blauv 2/5
Uncomfortable and hot for long use
Pleasant texture and easy to install, but gaps around curves rubbed on my calloused hands and felt like an edge. They also made my hands warmer than usual during play.

Wouldn’t recommend to everyone
Bought these for my son and they stuck hard to the controller. Removing them left a sticky mess, so I can’t recommend them.
