Kontrol Freaks
-
The 3 types I’d recommend looking at are the Purple galaxy’s, inferno’s and the green cqc’s. But since you’ve never used a pair before.. maybe go with the purple galaxy’s because you get a short and a tall stick. Just don’t give up on using kontrol freeks! Yes, they will feel goofy for a little while BUT once you get used to them you won’t ever wanna take them off.

I use a high purple galaxy and a resistance band on the left stick only. Works pretty well for me.
Resistance band???
-
I only use one for hitting, I struggled with control ironically pitching
-
I didn’t like the high ones tbh. They kept flying off.
I bought the low top green ones and they’re fantastic.
It won’t stop your trigger movements being too much. That’s just practice. Less is more as they say.
-
High rise ain’t for me.
-
The high rises are too high for me on the DS5. I have a low rise galaxy of left thumbstick and low rise CQC sig on right one. Reason for difference between the two is durability.
PP pitching really takes its toll on my thumbsticks. More so than when I used analog
-
I literally just bought the inferno last week. Took a few games to get used to but I do feel i have better control. I used the advice of others and just use it on the left thumb only.

If you can get used to it, not a bad idea on the right stick too. Preserve the life of the thumbstick of your controller. I’d rather pay 15-20 bucks each time my KF is worn out than a new controller

That’s a good call. Didn’t think of it that way. I appreciate you experts in here. Learn quite a bit from you guys. Cheers!

No worries bud! I quickly learned they’re much more than just a comfort thing. They literally extend your controllers life

Not gronk spiking mine have been the best method to controller longevity lol

I used to go through tons of kontrol freaks when I was on the PS4 but when I switched to Xbox Series X, I actually found the controller to be perfect as is and have had great success without the need for any Kontrol freaks.

They are called precision rings.

I kinda changed my game with the PS5 and pinpoint pitching. I find PP easier with no riser on R stick. So I leave that bare. L stick I like a low as possible riser, and these are the 2 lowest I have so I use them.

It’s a band that goes around the stick so it’s a little harder to move. It’s helpful for this game since the PCI is so sensitive.

I keep giving them a try but they make fielding difficult. I really have to wrench on the stick for fielders to move quickly

I agree, it’s annoying for fielding.

Thanks guys. I think I'll probably go with the high rise type. Seems like that might help with yanking the PCI too far in any one direction. I'll probably still be horrible but it's worth a shot.
They also sell these foam rings that help a lot with what you’re talking about. I have the same problem being too aggressive on the joystick. Get the green “soft” ones the other ones are too thick. I do like some of the joystick attachments you’re referring to but they won’t help much with this.

Thanks man, I appreciate the advise. I think I will get some those, it does seem like those would definitely help with yanking the pci too much. Curious though, do those slow you down any with quick reactions and such defensively?
