Great Upgrade for the IINE Retro Pocket Wireless Game Controller!
I bought these Skull & Co. thumb grips for my IINE Retro Pocket controller (ASIN: B0F8HWNDPV), and they fit perfectly. The sticks are the same size, so the caps slip on easily, stay secure during play, and come off just as easily when I want to switch styles. The set includes three types of grips (Skin, CQC, and FPS), which give different levels of height and texture. It’s nice to be able to customize depending on the game or comfort preference. They really improve long play sessions by reducing thumb fatigue, and they make an already great controller even better.

Intended for Joycons, perfect for Retroids.
Using these on a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. Fits like a glove and adds way more contact on the joystick. Very comfortable. Does not impede movement or limit the range of motion. I was incessantly wanting to keep the OD green thumb grips I first purchased, but since they’re for ps5/ps4 controllers, they would fall off or spin around the joystick. I installed them over the black grips and it’s a much better fit. Kind of the best of both worlds. Slightly taller, larger grip on top, and I get to use my green grips on my controller and my Retroid! This would be my second purchase from this place and I highly recommend them.

WORTH IT AT ALL COST, 100% must have
I would give it 10 stars it I could, I soooo happy with the overall experience that I can't barely say how much I love it without Sounding like a bot XD So I gonna tell my experience. I bought them because they were the only ones that have that little soft bend that merges with your fingertips and feels soft and nice to the touch. Seeing pictures, I was expecting something rough, but it feels way softer than it seems. I made a fully customized on my switch, and the part I was most hyped about was putting this thing on and they didn't let me down. They were as good as I could have thought. I didn't buy them just for the touch, I also bought them so my Switch would look better. So, if you are questioning if they will look good on an bended grip, then yes, they would. And that fps pro (Idk the name xD) Things are also incredible. I mean dont get my wrong is not like that they feel better in everything but in totk for example, you put the grip you already have on that Joy-Con on the chunky thing to have the double grip, and it's amazing. A chunky double grip on the right for better aiming and I don't even want to go back to how I was playing. It makes the base joystick feel like a cheaper copy. The only bad thing is that sometimes you have to remove the right grip to play games that don't use the right joystick (since it makes it harder to reach the ABYX buttons). But that's barely a problem, since they are good quality, and after all the times I've put them on and off, they still feel like new. A must buy in my opinion

Great value buy - works on both a Switch and a R36s
There are quite a few options out there where you only get one pair of grips for like $7-9 - with these you get three different pairs of grips for like $9-10 with these. I was able to use one set for my Nintendo Switch and another for my R36s so it was definitely worth it for value.

Good Thumb Grips
Good thumb grips that ACTUALLY fit on the joy cons. I should have used these before putting on another thumb grips from another company that did not fit and but also caused damaged to the joycon grip from my special edition switch. Been a year since I've had these and they still held up great. I got somewhat big hands and so these grips help me stay on the analog sticks. IF you don't like the stock analog stick grips, definitely get these. They also are not that easy to slip off of so you should be fine if you're taking it with you. Ease of installation is also very easy, takes less than 5 seconds to put them on.

Turns mediocre joysticks into a premium experience!
Currently there are SO many gaming handhelds coming out, but most of them have Nintendo switch joycon joysticks and that is not the best experience. Though it keeps the devices compact, it is not very comfortable to use for hours at a time. Enter Skull & Co. Thumb Grips... These work on most of the handhelds where the joystick isn't recessed into the device, and if they are recessed then it effects the range of motion and makes the joysticks unusable. When the joysticks aren't recessed, these are SO nice to use! I was having a mediocre time with the sticks on my new Aokzoe A1 Pro, where they felt alright but you could tell there was some room for improvement. I added the CQC Elite thumb grips and now the joysticks feel very similar to my Xbox Elite controllers joysticks! That is an insane improvement for the cost of these joystick caps. These are compatible with quite a few of my devices due to being used for Nintendo switch joysticks. What I have tested them on so far: Aokzoe A1 Pro - Fully compatible AYN Odin Pro - Not compatible (fits but joysticks are too recessed) Nintendo Switch & Lite - Fully compatible (obviously, they are made for this) PSVita - Not compatible (joysticks are too small) So all-in-all, if these are compatible with your device and your joysticks are lacking, these are an incredible improvement. They won't fix all of your issues with a joystick, but they can make them more comfortable to play and help with the poor range of motion that most joysticks in the style of a Nintendo joycon suffer from. Highly recommended!

Astounded by Quality!
I've had thumb grips in the past. Normally, with designs that match my current joycons/switch cover. I recently purchased the Skyward Sword joycons and couldn't find any thumb grips that matched. I have to play with thumb grips, because the standard joystick is way too slippery. I was looking for plain thumb grips like these and had a hard time finding something that was well-priced and good quality. Not only is the quality FANTASTIC, it's better than any of the fancy design grips I've had in the past. AND you get THREE different types!!! I can very well see myself purchasing more of these products for other controllers/consoles in the future. My only suggestion is to offer more designs/colorways! This brand has a lot to offer that others don't.

These really help my get a much better grip on my switch lite. They fit tight over the joystick and do not slip. Very good quality product.

Le confort apporté par ses grippes dépassent mes attentes. Les CQC Elite sont excellents ! Je ne comprends même pas que Nintendo ai opté pour une forme convexe plutôt que concave pour les pouces. Moi qui adore jouer avec les joycons, la prise en main est beaucoup plus agréable. Je craignais que les grippes donnent l'impression que les joysticks sont très gros visuellement, mais ce n'est pas le cas. "Ça, c'est du top produit". À voir comment ils tiendront dans le temps maintenant.

Have purchased for both PS4 controllers and Nintendo Switch controllers. Fantastic thumb grips, great quality and reasonably priced. Super easy to install and fit nice and snug, seems like good quality plastic where other cheaper brands are very "rubbery" and thus get very dirty and sticky easily. Highlight recommend, I won't have a console controller without these thumb grips anymore :)
