There is some people around with surgical acurate thumbs... Not my case, I have suffer of sloppy thumbs and in games like BF3 y had to set a very low stick sensitivity, to be able to aim acurately thus giving me a huge disadvantage by not being able to turn around fast. For games like Need For Speed I'm worst since I keep crashing against fences mail boxes. But this stick extentions have gave me a lot lot more acuracy.
In the begining it was hard to change my habbits, I had to change the way I hold the gamepad and the way I press the buttons but after a copule of weeks I was able to set the sensitivity of BF3 beyond half of it thus giving me speed and control. NFS and Ghost Recon were easier to master.
I am planing of purchasing BF3 for the PC in order to try it with the XBOX controller and this extentions just to see if I have lesa disadvantage against mouse/keyboard gamers.
Why 4 stars and not 5? The sticks are made out of a single molded piece of plastic, and they dont have any color other than black, although they have a cool skull carved on the top but it lacks color. I might try to paint it myself

Surprisingly Very Good! But you need to give it time and not overestimate what it will do.

I don't usually review items on Amazon. Furthermore, when I first heard about these Kontrol Freaks: Havoc for my PS3 controller, I was very skeptical. How could a little piece of rubber, identical to the PS3 analog sticks, actually do anything significant to improve my gameplay? Yet I was interested in getting anything that could possibly help boost my accuracy and KD in CoD games, and $16 wasn't going to drive me broke if this thing failed.
I am so very pleased to say that this thing has NOT failed. It IS a wonderful invention that does, at the very least, slightly improve your accuracy and therefore Kills and therefore KD.
How does it work and feel? Basically, because it raises up the height of your analog stick (I only put it on my right analog stick for aiming) it doesn't allow your right thumb to overreact. Often times, when playing a high accuracy game like CoD, your thumbs will actually move too much when aiming and you will slightly aim to the sides of your enemy. With a taller analog stick, thanks to Kontrol Freaks: Havoc, your thumb is more "docile" which allows you to make more careful adjustments when aiming.
With that being said, don't just buy this thing and, while it's coming in the mail, think, "OMG this is going to make me MLG!!!" (because it's not.) The Kontrol Freaks: Havoc only raised my accuracy up by 3% and KD by a little under point-two. Yet experienced CoD and First Person Shooter players will know that this makes a big difference and, over time when you're feel you're doing better than before, you will feel a boost in morale and continue to do better in the long run.
If you're planning on buying this, understand that it's a great tool to help improve your shooting gameplay for life. But it's not going to make you the "best player ever", so give it time and see the slight improvements in your game.
Heck, at $16 a try, why not? And by the way, for those negatrons out there who say that this is an "illegal mod", NO it's not. It's approved for official tournament use and doesn't do any work for you - you need to work it.

I absolutely love this product, everything everyone says about turning up sensitivity and upgrading accuracy has been 100% correct in my experience.
But, and it's a big one for the console addict...Be warned my fellow gamers. While these will grace the posts of your XBox360, PS3, and PS4, they WILL NOT fit the next generation controller that manipulates your XBone. I'd love to upgrade, but until they make some for that controller I'll have to dominate War Thunder on the PS4 (as best you can without a mouse/keyboard setup. Happy gaming
In fairness to the developer, they never claimed they would. But just in case you get overexcited and order a pair... Thought you might want to know.

Not sure if to begin with my sensitivity being overly high is why i just haven't been able to use these well or what, but I end up taking these off 3 or 4 times after trying them out for a few minutes. tried reducing sensitivity but that didn't seem to work, middle of road review because they fit the joy stick very well, and it might be just user preference that they don't work for me.

FPS lovers MUST have this! Absolutely amazing and fun to use! (They also look cool!)
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2013
I do not know how I have lasted without these things for years! The second I saw these, I knew I would love them. And I definitely do! I bought these for use with Black Ops 2, but they seem to work for any FPS that I have come across (Ghosts, Battlefield 4). Of course, you won't get used to them on the first go (if you do, then you have my applause) but after a few games you'll get used to it and end up swapping your sensitivity accordingly. I used to play on 14 sensitivity on Black Ops 2, but then with the Freeks installed, I found myself comfortable around 8.
The Freeks are very simple to install. Just place the KontrolFreek onto your left and right thumbsticks and you are good to go! The 3 prongs really make it latch on and it does not slip off unless you intentionally pull them off! Also, once you use the Freeks, you'll most likely never go back. I have gotten used to the radius of the thumbstick and its grip, and I just love it too much. Can't play without them.
You WILL see an improvement in your game play. I know I have!

I've heard about Kontrol Freeks for a few months but never understood why people spoke so openly about them. I went ahead and purchased the Havoc's after reading on the Kontrol Freek Website. They dispatched within the same day and arrived two days later.
The product itself is extremely comfortable. I use only one as I game on the PS3, but still only one is enough. Aiming and shooting is brilliant. I went from scoring average to insane, 38-4 been an example of a standard 6v6 Team Deathmatch on Black Ops 2.
I would highly recommend this product to any casual or competitive gamer.

Thoroughly impressed with the way that the Kontrol Freek Havok product has changed my play style not only for FPS games like Black Ops 2 but also for types of games as well including GTA5. Comfortable, easy to install and durable. Delivery arrived promptly and no issues at all. If you want to clean your control, very easy to take off and then stick back on afterwards.

Great Product for All Gamers!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 19, 2014
These Kontrol Freek's have been amazing. As a teenage gamer i have always wanted to be better, or as good as my friends. These, have made me better!
When you first start off playing with them on FPS (First Person Shooter) games, i would recommend putting the sensitivity down for your first few games and then start to gradually put it higher and higher to your comfort. This is because they will feel new to your fingers because they raise your joystick.
I have found that all you need is one Kontrol Freek on just the right joy stick because it doesn't make a difference having it on the left as well.
The shipping game very quick, only in two days (One day faster than the shipper estimated) so this would be the person to buy it from. Also, the packaging looked good enough so that the Kontrol Freeks won't get damaged.
Overall this is the product you should buy!
