The SpeedFreak is an excellent add-on for your controller. The thumb positioning helps you keep your car on the road (and in one piece)! For not being a racing game fan, I enjoy using this for games with Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. It works pretty well combined with an FPS Freak (SpeedFreak on the left, FPS Freak on the right). At least with the SpeedFreak I can keep up with my Son (who is a lot better than me in Forza and Nascar!) Also, worry not because the SpeedFreak is great for all finger sizes. I've gotten my 9-year old to use them and they only make him better. (Unfortunately =) )

There are a couple of things about these that help me out: thumb won't slip off the left stick, regardless of how you hold the controller you always know exactly which way the stick will respond. If you are racing (Dirt, Forza) and need reliable steering - putting one of these on the left stick will help. If you are running for your life (GTA, Assassins Creed) and can't dial in on cover or hiding spots quickly enough - have a bit more control. If you are laying on the sofa holding the controller all lazy - it is quickly apparent which way is true left, right... pretty nice addition and doesn't get in the way.

I got this as a filler to get free shipping. I was not expecting allot but it does what it supposed to do and does it well. I got way better results in driving games with SpeedFreek. It makes your steering more precise. Also my hands do not hurt as much after playing for a long time.
