> 24 hourI love the design of the Steam Decks analog sticks, but they seem to be purpose-engineered to attract dust, so these covers are a necessity for me, since I was getting tired of swabbing the sticks every day to clean them. The covers are a pleasant texture and not too thick, as well as being fairly grippy. Only issue is that they can be a pain to install, but for the price, you cant go wrong with these. I might even get more to use for my other controllers.

> 24 hourVery comfortable to use and fit on there really well unlike a lot of others that wiggle around or fall off easy. Have not had these fall off at all and has good grip. I like a little bumps on them to help as well.

> 24 hourInstalled 2x caps on my steam deck. Installation instructions were a bit confusing. I went to their website for an installation video. Followed the video for a smooth install. I find I use the left stick mostly pushing forward from the bottom of the cap. These caps provide ample cushion compared to the stock Deck stick. It is a bit odd these are only sold in packs of 4 when most controllers only have 2 sticks. $10 for 2 caps would seem too expensive; outrageous. But $10 for 4 caps seems reasonable. Too bad most of us will only ever use 2 of those 4 caps. Im sure I have another controller lying around that could utilize those extra caps.

> 24 hourThis was purchased for use with my Steam Deck. As there were no reviews at the time of my purchase, I took the bullet so you can make an educated purchase. First off, the Capacitive Touch Sensors do work with the caps on. Also, with the caps on and no protective case, they will fit in the Valve provided Steam Deck Case without depressing and clicking the sticks. Will update if I ever add a protective case. Design: I purchased primarily for the Diamond Grain but have ended up using the Crack Bomb design. Reason for this being, the Diamond Grain has a more domed form where as the Crack Bomb is more concave and seems to hug the sticks better. Have not had them shift or come off yet, but I havent put that much time into them. Installation of the caps is not as easy as the seller suggests in their pictures, they will not snap on immediately as suggested. Turn them inside out and slowly flip the edges down in a clockwise or counter clockwise motion, if a side gets folded under, just rotate the caps and that should be enough to unfold them. Be weary, too many attempts could stretch out the caps as they are not the most pliable silicone. Additional Note: Although the product description does state this was designed for Steam Deck and is NOT compatible with other controller or console, these are definitely compatible with and fit PERFECTLY on the Nintendo Switch Joycons and I absolutely believe these were designed primarily for Joycons. For $9.99, it was an ok buy. I dont regret it yet.

> 24 hourDoes exactly what it says. Fits the thumb grips very nicely and tightly on the Steam Deck, and solves the slippery surface problem of the original Steam Deck thumb sticks being very smooth, causing your thumbs to easily slip off them when playing. When putting them on, simply turn the bottom sides up, place over the thumbstick top directly in the middle, then slowly flip the sides down and around the thumbstick. They do fit snug, so it make take a couple tries to get them on. If youre having a difficult time putting them on, follow what Ive stated, but when the sides have been flipped down, slowly turn them allowing the rubber to slide around the top to secure. These do solve the problem of slippery thumbstick tops on the Steam Deck. The concave tops included are far superior to the domed tops, which are worthless to me, as my thumbs still slip off the tops. Itd be better if they just included 2 sets of the concave thumbstick covers rather than include a pair of the useless domed covers IMO.
