PlayVital Thumb Grip Caps for Steam Deck, Silicone Thumbsticks Grips Joystick Caps for Steam Deck - Samurai & Guardian Edition

This 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.

Really happy with these. I was able to put a set on my steam deck and my Xbox controller. Gives me a better thumb control.

I purchased the Raised Dots & Studded Design Thumbstick Covers I preferred the Studded Ones as they are concave. The capacitive response works well to Activate Gyro, but it very much like the standalone thumbstick, it is activated from the center area. And they fit just fine in the default steam deck case. Theyre great, but expensive for what it is. To each their own.

Great tactile feel, I had trouble with the bare sticks. In this pack you get 2 sets and pick what feels best. Definitely improved my experience.

I bought these primarily for my Steam Deck, the capacitive thumb sticks haven’t really made a difference for me and they collect skin and oil and are hard to get out. These have works so far without and issues. I’m using the diamond ones on the deck. They bevel out but feel great and don’t move too much between uses. The other set of bevel in I’m using on my Xbox one controller that had been worn down. A little harder to install and move a little more it still works well so far.

I 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.

Been getting a great amount of use on my Steam Deck! The normal control sticks are just too slippery for me so these were a must! The price is admittedly a bit high for the quality and the grips have slipped off twice now in dozens of hours of play, but otherwise a great product.

A must have for any SD owner. Compared to dbrand, I prefer these because one set is concave and one is convex. I much prefer sticks that stick out slightly, and this set has both!

These are great! Easy to install, pleasant to use.

Great fit for my Mario edition switch. The yellow pops very nicely off the red console.
