The difference in thumb stick height between the PS4 and xbone is pretty minor. Added height is a benefit as this gives you a larger range of motion and improves accuracy. That is the main selling point for those Freekz thumbstick attachments. Also, I see a few posts talking about resistance. The resistance would be exactly the same as this is determined by the module that the sticks attach to. Any perceived looseness is probably due to not being used to a larger range of motion.

Because of the video in OP, I...I just noticed that I don't have a reset button anymore. I'm in trouble if my controller needs a resetting in the future.
Having taller sticks does decrease the tension on the module. I have done this mod and it is looser. You do gain range of motion as well though.
I've had my PS4 since launch and my thumbsticks have not chipped away or fallen apart at all. Still look like they did the day I got it.
I own both the X1 and PS4, and while I like the feel of the X1 controller sticks, they feel looser than the PS4 sticks, which probably explains why I wasn't as precise in the Destiny beta on X1 as I was on PS4.
I also prefer the triggers and shoulder buttons on the dualshock 4, so I can't share the same complaint. And I also prefer symmetrical. But I guess my hands aren't as big as some.
Basically saying if these sticks can stay as tight in the dualshock 4 as the original sticks, then I might do this and the dualshock 4 would be perfect for me.
Do the X1 sticks fit on a 360 controller?
I've done it myself to both my controllers and these resistance is the same as stock on mine. Don't see how it is physically possible but I can agree to disagree.
Mine aren't some Chinese dupes tho, I have legit MS parts. Maybe that is the difference.
The tension comes from the analog stick module, true, but the force required depends on the stick height because an analog stick is a lever. Making the lever slightly longer is still going to decrease the amount of force you have to apply to displace the stick.

What?
It might be that the sockets in reproduction and original Xbox One sticks vary slightly in depth, or that the stick is seated a bit differently on your controllers.
How can anyone like the DS3 sticks?
If you are buying sticks watch out, the ones I got off ebay were VERY VERY loose I had to use some tape on the nubs to make the sticks fit tightly, if anyone knows where they can get very tight fitting sticks please tell me. Also OP where did you get those sticks you're using? They seem quite tight.
With the wrapping tape around the nubs fix they are very tight on the controller, but theres always room for improvement, someone in another thread also suggested a paper wedge for making up that tiny bit of space.
The controller is great, I played it with Destiny with the new sticks and it works perfectly.
Great MOD.
ALSO WARNING WARNING, when you're messing with the piece of PCB that has the rumbbly motors be careful not to break their connection from the board.
Grip It covers are the best hands down!
Oh man. Watched the video and just imagined myself ripping the cable, pulling out the triggers, cracking plastic and ruining my controllers. Maybe if I start getting the rubber tear ill give it a shot, but I'm not real great at this type of project. Looks like a game changer though, I'm a little jealous.
Can't...say I've heard someone say they want that before.
Ironically, I have that issue with PS3. Th DS4 is much better.Can't say I agree at all. Those DS4 stick top designs are terrible for the way I hold the sticks and constantly have to readjust my thumb. The movement feels nearly identical, IME, and the grippier X1 tops mean I never have to feel like I'm constantly re-seating my thumbs or worrying about slipping off of them even momentarily.
Because of the way I use analog sticks, concave tops aren't nearly as easy to use as convex ones. My thumb aways rests on the outsides of the sticks, so when the top is convex, I actually have something to push against.
All I did was use my old DS3 KontrolFreek CQCs, did that little trick where you hold a lighter over the prongs on the bottom, bent them in a tiny bit, and now they fit on my DS4 perfectly.
The sticks have no control over the actual tightness/looseness--that's all on the actual controller board and the mechanism itself. So if you prefer the feel of the actual stick on the Xbone controller, then you should swap it to the DS4 and it'll feel just as tight as the original ones.
Honestly the DS4 controller is actually preventing me from buying a PS4. Maybe this might help...

These are the sticks I bought and are rubberized up top which is how the sticks are supposed to be. Cheaper knockoffs will use nothing but plastic.

The actual mod is easy, you just need one small Phillips head screwdriver. Popping open the ds4 is a little difficult the first time but becomes infinitely easier every other time.
As for the sticks? My friend really enjoys them, can't go back to the original ones. I felt the contact area was too small and uncomfortable. L3 and R3 are the feel the same, and resistance felt the same.
I will say that one of the sticks in the beginning had a weird Grindy feel at first but disappears after about an hour of use or a click of the l3 button.
Overall I went back to the gel grips I bought from gamestop with the ds4 sticks.
Do xbone sticks fit a dreamcast controller?
have you spent some time with the DS4? I've had 3 friends all say the same thing and after spending some time with it have changed their minds. ( its not as bad as they thought )
I am not saying it will for you but just wondering.
I have and it feels like I have no control with the left stick...
