As a member of LootCrate I get the opportunity to receive some awesome products. One of these products I received recently was a package of Grip-iTs containing a blue pair and a black pair. Just what the hell are Grip-iTs you ask? Simple. They are covers for the analog thumb sticks of your controller of choice. The good thing about these is that they fit Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 controllers. This means if you have multiple consoles you don't have to order a different type for each one. The whole purpose of these covers is to combat the whole sweaty thumbs situation that occurs when you play a game for a long period of time. I know that when I play for hours on end I eventually have to worry about my thumbs sliding off the analog sticks. When I saw this product in my LootCrate I was excited to give them a try. It took a few days before I had a chance to really sit down and game for an extended time. When I finally did I opened the package hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. Putting them on was easy enough and with them securely in place I began to play. Right away I noticed a difference in the way the controller felt and how comfortable they were. The true test came when I had been playing for a few hours. At the point that I normally would have started having problems I noticed I was problem free. My grip was just as good as it had been when I first picked up my controller and my thumbs didn't hurt. I have since played a few more times for extended periods of time and have had the same experience. I think it is safe to say that the product does as it says it will and I am now a fan of the company. I plan on ordering a pink pair soon!
Here is a picture of what they look like on the controller.
They are available in single packs which include 4 covers for $4.99 and double packs which include 8 covers for $9. These are available at many retailers including Fry's, Hastings, GameStop, and Walmart. They also have larger packs available through their online store. They have a variety of colors available as well. You may visit their website by clicking here.
