Personally, I would suggest these thumb grips. The concave ones fit snug and work really great.
Are these real xbox one sticks off eBay or are they just fakes?
Yeah in the video you can see I am lifting it from the rumble motors then sort of putting a finger under the PCB. The entire thing comes out in one piece which is nice.
get a bundle of them. no need to worry about worn sticks for a long time.
I've been loving mine since I put them on a few months ago. They're way better for FPS, I find, except that I seem to be clicking in the right stick when in close quarters leading to an unwanted melee. The extra height must cause that, but its a small price to pay for the accuracy and durability!
Where did you get them too? did they fit super tight when you put them on or did you have to muck with them?
Where are those orange ones from? Did they fit tight or need mucking?
they fit perfectly. I think the two companies have the same manufacturing process when it comes to certain things. the analog boxes and shaft sizes are the same.
Where did you get them? My ones off Ebay were horrible. Could you be exact on your source?

That's amazing. I love the X1 joysticks but prefer the DS4s ergonomics and triggers. So this is perfect.
just ordered the "grip it's" and if they don't feel right will attempt surguery on my controller...hahaDidn't really like the Xbox one's sticks. I just put some covers on the sticks.
Yeah I got those things. They work pretty good.just ordered the "grip it's" and if they don't feel right will attempt surguery on my controller...haha
*if I do is the changeout for the better battery easy as well? may as well do that if I have the thing open, right?

E-mods on Amazon. they were shipped from China so they might not be genuine parts.

Go with the KontrolFreek FPS Ultra - PS4.
I played both side by side on the Destiny Beta. You lose to much resistance, like playing the Xbox One controller. It's no different in resistance from the Xbox One controller, but on the PS4 you will be at a disadvantage as your precision will go down in FPS.
The Grips are a WIN/WIN and easier to install.
Sounds much better, I'll try these. Thanks man.
Things to watch out for when opening a DS4:
- Outer case is pretty tough to pry apart, you may up end breaking a tab while trying to get it to open. Breaking one shouldn't affect the closing part that much.
- Watch out for the reset button. Make sure you don't lose that.
- Trigger springs. Definitely make sure to not lose that. It may come flying off when you pry open your controller. Can be put back on.

Anybody selling one with this mod?
I would say the upgrade is worth it even if your sticks aren't having a problem. The control and the feel is just soooo much better with XBO sticks.
Some advice:
- if your sticks are grinding or sticking press them down harder. You shouldn't have to loosen the actual molding of the controller to get these to fit properly. Sometimes it's easy to just throw them on other times you have to put quite a bit of force on them.
Grip It covers are the best hands down!
i got translucent black for mine, although i do miss the ps4 lowered sticks, the Xbox1 stick work very well.
also i ordered some more ds4 sticks including translucent blue!!
Now I need a way to replace the triggers.
I Mod both my Dualshock 4 controllers with Dualshock 3 silicon thumb Grips
and replace their batteries with 2000mAh for double power.

It's an incredibly easy mod, I wouldn't do it unless they sell for the cost of the parts.

- the sticks have an ever slight play to them as opposed to being tight. To alleviate that cut a very small piece of masking tape then place it on the top of the stub before sliding on the stick.
- don't rip off the back of the controller, you should get it open then pull down and lift over the triggers. If the triggers pop off it's not a big deal but you'll save time.
- don't use a small flat head screw driver to try and wedge the controller open. You don't need to, just keep working it until it opens. You'll mess up the controllers mold around the opening.
- a pair of small needle nose pliers will save some time and annoyances. The ribbon cable is much easier to connect with it than without. You can connect it fine, it just takes some time.
- the reset button will probably come out, when you put it in make sure you press it in as opposed to sitting it in it's respective place.
The DualShock 4 with these sticks is a huge improvement and I will never go back to anything else. I've got two controllers with these sticks and the increased range of movement is immediately noticeable in TLoU and Destiny. (FPS)
I tried several gel tabs and aftermarket stick covers (grip it) and they are terrible in comparison. They cost the same as these sticks and just become an annoyance more than anything else.
There are some specialty makers that mold PS3 style sticks that work specifically for the DualShock 4, and other custom designs. I'll have to try and find the website again.
To anyone thinking that the sticks are slippery, not high enough, have issues with the rubber, or are debating between covers or the sticks themselves.
Get the Sticks.
