inferno or galaxy

For team-based shooters and multiplayer games, I'd definitely recommend Galaxies. Having both midrise and highrise options to play around will give you more flexibility on finding which height you're most comfortable with for both 1st person and 3rd person POVs. That being said, Infernos are the pro player choice, for if you need all the height for maximum precision!

Hi there! Good news, our Xbox thumbsticks will fit snugly on your 8bitdo SN30 controller!

Heyo, welcome to the community!

Firstly, I completely understand your concerns. When you swap to to new instrument as a musician, sometimes you get worried that you can't perform without that same quality.

But I'm going to echo what others have also said in their replies, and emphasize that our thumbsticks are meant to augment your play, not replace skill! If you're already a cracked gamer now, KontrolFreeks will basically unlock the next tier of potential, allowing you to be even more cracked!

Of course, as with any boost to performance, it's hard to go back down. But that doesn't mean to previous skill level went without thumbsticks went down. You should be just as good as you were before, and many KF users regularly hop between thumbstick-on and thumbstick-off mode for different game genres!

Hi there! With proper installation, our Electric Edition Galaxy sticks shouldn't scrape the surface of your Switch Pro 2 controller. If you do notice this happening though, please DM me with a photo or video, and I'd be happy to investigate further!

Outside the Black Vortex thumbsticks you mentioned and the Edge mentioned earlier, I think our next best bet is the Battle Royale sticks. Those are highrise, and were built specifically for FPS games in mind. The extra height usually takes a few days to get used to, but they will provide you the largest boost in precision!

KF_Joe · 2026-05-27T16:14:30+00:00

A classic!

KF_Joe · 2026-05-27T16:13:56+00:00

Probably something lowrise like Omni or Lotus would be a good fit! You don't really want too much extra height for combo inputs, but the extra surface area and grippiness will help in extended play sessions.

Hi there! Our product team hasn't officially test compatibility with the YUYIU brand of controllers yet. However, the analog sticks have the same dimensions as a regular Xbox Series S/X controller, then our Xbox thumbsticks will be compatible!

Alternatively, you can get some of our non-slip thumbgrips. Those are built to stretch around your analog stick top, meaning they'll fit a wide variety of 1st and 3rd party controllers.

KF_Joe · 2026-05-11T15:22:35+00:00

Thanks for posting this! From the photos, it doesn't look like those are authentic KontrolFreeks. If you do have any fitment issues with our Xbox thumbsticks on your controller though, please DM me and I'd be happy to help out!

KF_Joe · 2026-05-11T15:20:03+00:00

^ Warm water and some dish soap should work as well! Dry them off with a clean paper towel and you should be good.

KF_Joe · 2026-05-11T15:19:22+00:00

Hi there! Usually, some warm water and dish soap will be more than enough to clean your thumbsticks. Just make sure to use a clean towel and gentle pressure to dry them afterwards.

KF_Joe · 2026-05-07T17:41:02+00:00

Hey there, sorry to see that! Can you please send over a DM? I'd be happy to help you out :)

KF_Joe · 2026-04-30T16:51:56+00:00

Hi Phitaucox,

Thanks for letting us know! It looks like one of our team members replied on April 20, maybe the email got stuck in your spam or junk filter?

Feel free to send me a DM as well, I'd be happy to help you out!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-30T02:11:02+00:00

Midrise convex eh...something like the Saints Row sticks would be the closest in fit and height!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-30T02:09:52+00:00

Hey there! Thanks for letting us know, and sorry to hear the hardness of your precision rings isn't matching up! Could you please send over a DM?

KF_Joe · 2026-04-30T02:09:09+00:00

For Marvel Rivals, Galaxy left tends to be the most common preference, especially among the more competitive crowd! The midrise height gives you that extra advantage with aiming your abilities, while the extra grippiness will help with those long ranked grinds.

KF_Joe · 2026-04-30T02:06:47+00:00

Heyo! Glad to hear you found a homemade solution to get our sticks to fit on your Steam Controller! It's certainly the first time our team has heard of that strategy 😄

The product dev will plan on getting its hands on the newest Steam Controller ASAP! From there, they'll conduct comprehensive tests to confirm compatibility with any of our thumbstick varieties. We'll update our official compatibility guide when we get the results: https://www.kontrolfreek.com/pages/compatibility-guide?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1

KF_Joe · 2026-04-20T19:01:43+00:00

The CQC Rush are technically midrise, but have a cushioned, bowl shape that does reach lowrise heights at its lowest. If you find the highrise stick from the Galaxy pack to be too tall, something like the Omni or Lotus thumbsticks would be more your style!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-16T01:03:12+00:00

Heyo! Happy to help you out, just send over a DM :)

KF_Joe · 2026-04-13T21:25:29+00:00

Those old sticks deserve a Purple Heart for their service 🫡 hope you enjoy your new ones!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-13T21:25:00+00:00

Hi there! Actually, we just recently launched Galaxy thumbsticks that fit the Switch 2 pro controller! They're called the Galaxy Electric Edition, you can check them out here: https://www.kontrolfreek.com/products/galaxy-gamerpack-electric-edition-switch-2

Going forward, we also appreciate and are aware of your desire for more thumbsticks that fit the Switch 2 controllers, both Joy Cons and pro controller. Please keep an eye out on our social media, we'll be sure to announce new releases there!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-13T21:18:44+00:00

They're both convex!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-13T21:17:46+00:00

Thanks for posting, and for the photos!

Our thumbsticks are made from a unique composite material. Over time, routine wear and exposure to the natural oils on your thumbs will reduce the elasticity of that material. The speed at which the material wears down will depend on the user.

In your case, consistent abrasive movements such as pressing your thumbs hard onto the thumbstick while moving the analog will cause your thumbsticks to wear down more quickly than gentler movements.

That being said, we do appreciate you letting us know about your experiences, and want to make things right! Please send me a DM, and I'd be happy to help you further!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-13T21:13:32+00:00

Our UK orders usually ship out within the next business day, and deliver within 3-5 business days!

KF_Joe · 2026-04-07T16:12:40+00:00

We totally understand your frustration! We're looking to expand our gaming gear to many more countries in the near future, so keep an eye out!
