SCUF Gaming, creator of the high-performance gaming controller category, today introduced its new line of Universal Thumbstick Grips. The new thumbsticks give any gamer the SCUF thumbstick experience of added performance and increased grip, regardless of the type of controller they use. SCUF's Universal Thumbstick Grips will take almost any existing controller to a higher level, giving gamers the feel of precision, accuracy, and movements of a SCUF thumbstick, on their existing controller. "The launch of our Universal Thumbstick Grips is a reflection of our commitment to giving all gamers the ability to experience the SCUF advantage," said Diego Nunez, Vice President of Gaming Marketing at CORSAIR. "With this new offering, you can gain a functional advantage in movement and gameplay by simply upgrading your existing controller."

SCUF Universal Thumbstick Grips are available in three different variants, Tactic, Catalyst, and Pulse, so gamers can tailor their experience based on personal preference and style of play. Tactic replicates the shapes found on SCUF controller thumbsticks which have provided professional and competitive gamers around the world additional performance, comfort and grip for many years. Tactic comes in 2 styles (concave and domed) 3 colors (black, red, and blue) and 2 lengths (short and tall). Light Gray Universal Thumbstick Grips will also be available in early 2023.



Catalyst is inspired by previous controller designs to give customers a taste of the controllers of the past. It has a concave design that allows your fingers to rest comfortably in the indent of the thumbstick and extra grip on the sides of the indent, so fingers don't slip from where you want them.

Pulse offers the SCUF take on a classic thumbstick style. It has a semi-domed design that means fingers rest within the indent of the thumbstick or on the edge where added grip keeps your fingers on the thumbstick.

The Universal Thumbstick grips range in price from $9.99 to $19.99 and are available immediately for purchase on SCUF's website and on Amazon

Seems mostly interesting to me as something easy to replace when wear and tear occurs, easier then taking an entire stick out.

i just wish somewhere like best buy had them on display to try out before you buy. they look rather tall, i just wonder how much it would change my use of a controller or if it would mess me up in some games, because your control field becomes tighter the taller it gets

Control field gets larger and more precise the taller you go, but also requires more thumb movement.

tighter is what I meant by precise, but I did not realize the more thumb movement part so thanks

not sure i would enjoy this really, maybe the smallest variant, but not the tallest.
 
Having two left thumbs, I'll have to try these for the one game I use a controller on.
