if you're looking for a way to increase your control when playing Destiny (or, really, any console-based shooter), these are fantastic!

Don't you mean fanta-stick?

Ya know. 'Cuz they're for thumbsticks?

No?

I'll see myself out.

Similar idea on the elite controller. I use the longer domed stick on my right stick to help with precise aiming. Once you get used to the extra height it doesn't feel right to use a regular controller.

Wow, they could not have made those any uglier . . .

I've never tried anything like those. Does the extra height really help all that much? I'd be worried about banging my thumbs together on the Dualshock 4. It's the first PS controller I've used where that doesn't actually happen, and I wouldn't want to create that problem again.

I've tried using my 360's on my DS4 controller, I don't notice my thumbs colliding (tho' the left one tends to fall off if I get too vigorous with it).

I've played with these sticks for a year and a half now and it's really hard to play on a normal controller anymore.

The longer lever gives you finer control over your reticule movement, which makes those subtle adjustments in a fire fight a bit easier. I also think my drag scoping is a lot better. However, I personally still tend to over aim (always have, always will).

Your sensitivity will feel really slow at first, you can actually probably bump it up one or two and give it a try for a while. The longer throw means it takes a bit longer to hit you max look speed. I find I still use a sensitivity of 4 with these sticks though.

Lastly, it takes a while for your thumb to get used to the height difference down to the buttons. My thumbs handle it just fine, but at first trying to double and triple jump while adjusting my aim was a bit difficulty. I'd accidentally hit the stick with the side of my thumb on the way up or down.

For 15 bucks, it's worth giving a try I think. You may never go back.

Like Claude, I use differently heighted Kontrol Freeks, and thus would only ever use one of these.

These sticks work great for me: http://www.kontrolfreek.com/thumbsticks/fps-freek-vortex.html

I've actually been using my 360's nubby's on my ps4 controller. Sadly they have a slight knack of popping off when things get a little heated, they also ever so slightly restrict my left stick's movement into the upper-lefthand coordinate. I need to find a better solution.

I do the same. Stick a thin rod/knife under the PS4 thumbstick and cut out the rubber, then put a paper towel to remove any traces of it. It'll reduce bulk.
