Performance Grips by KontrolFreek are advanced controller grips that utilize a combination of advanced materials that give gamers better grip, support and comfort. Grips are easy to apply and can be repositioned and removed without leaving a sticky residue.
Grips utilize a moisture-wicking combination of advanced proprietary materials to achieve enhanced grip and comfort. Our proprietary, honeycomb-stamped polymer outer layer maximizes grip while optimizing airflow to keep hands cool. The foam cushioning layer creates a feel much like dense memory foam, conforming to your palm and providing more support and comfort the harder you game.
Performance Grips are available in three colors: Nightfall black, Inferno red and Galaxy purple. They are made for PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. ***Packaging May Vary***

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these grips actually improve aim stability in competitive FPS games?
Yes. The cushioned, non-slip surface keeps the controller more secure in your hand, which translates into steadier micro-adjustments during aiming and more consistent tracking of moving targets.
Will they help me perform better in ranked or tournament play?
They will not change your skill, but by improving grip security and reducing hand fatigue, they help you maintain the same level of control in the final rounds as you had in the first.
Is the grip surface reliable enough for sweaty hands during tense matches?
Yes. The moisture-wicking top layer is specifically designed to keep the grip consistent even when palms get sweaty, so you are less likely to slip during clutch moments.
Do they add any meaningful weight that could throw off my muscle memory?
No. At roughly 30 grams total, the add-on is light enough that most competitive players do not notice a change in the controller's balance or weight distribution.
Are they a smart upgrade for someone training for esports or tournaments?
Yes. Consistent grip and reduced fatigue are real performance variables in long practice sessions, and these grips address both without altering the controller's core geometry.
Can I use these grips while streaming without them interfering with my setup?
Yes. They sit flush against the controller shell and do not block buttons, triggers, or thumbsticks, so on-camera they are barely noticeable while you play.
Do they make the analog sticks easier to control precisely?
By keeping the controller more stable in your palm, they reduce the small hand shifts that interfere with stick input, which can improve precision on flick shots and fine aim.
Will the grips shift or slide during intense gameplay?
No. Once applied with the repositionable adhesive, they are designed to stay in place through aggressive input, including rapid turning, button mashing, and competitive combos.
Do they interfere with any of the DualSense's buttons or triggers?
No. They are shaped to cover only the grip surfaces of the controller, leaving the triggers, bumpers, thumbsticks, and face buttons fully accessible.
Can I use them during long streaming sessions without needing to readjust?
Yes. The adhesive is strong enough to hold through multi-hour streaming blocks, and because the foam cushions the hand, you are less likely to need to stop and readjust mid-stream.
How do these compare to performance thumbsticks for improving aim?
Thumbsticks change stick height and shape to alter aim mechanics, while grips change how securely the controller sits in your hand. Many competitive players use both together, since they solve different problems.
Is this a better training aid than grip tape or third-party silicone covers?
Yes. The combination of foam cushioning and a moisture-wicking top layer addresses both fatigue and slip, while basic silicone covers only add tackiness without real padding.
How do they compare to using a scuff or third-party controller for competitive play?
A scuff or modded controller changes the hardware itself and often voids warranties, while Performance Grips improve comfort and grip on a stock DualSense without modifying the controller's electronics.
Will the grips loosen over time and hurt my performance?
With normal use, the adhesive and foam are designed to last, and any slight wear would be gradual rather than sudden, so it is unlikely to affect a single match or session.
What if I switch between controllers during practice — will the grip feel different?
Because the grips are designed for the standard DualSense shell, the feel will be consistent across controllers as long as the grips are properly applied to each one.
Do they make it easier to maintain focus during long ranked grinds?
Reducing the small physical distractions like slipping hands, cramping, and constant re-gripping helps many players stay mentally locked in during extended competitive sessions.
How do I install KontrolFreek Performance Grips on my PS5 DualSense controller?
Clean the controller grips with a dry cloth, peel each grip from its backing, align it with the corresponding handle of the DualSense, and press firmly into place. The whole process usually takes under five minutes.
How do I remove the grips without damaging my controller?
Slowly peel each grip off starting from one edge. Because the adhesive is repositionable, it is designed to lift away cleanly without leaving residue or pulling off the controller's finish.
Can I reapply the grips after removing them?
Yes, in most cases. The adhesive is repositionable, so you can lift the grips off, realign them, and press them back into place. If they lose stickiness over many reapplications, it is time to replace the set.
Are these grips compatible with the standard PS5 DualSense controller?
Yes. Performance Grips are designed specifically for the standard PS5 DualSense controller, including both the original white model and later color variants.
Do they fit the DualSense Edge controller?
These grips are designed for the standard DualSense. For the DualSense Edge, KontrolFreek offers a separate grip set designed for that controller's slightly different shape.
What is included in the box when I buy Performance Grips?
Each box contains one pair of Performance Grips (left and right) for the PS5 DualSense, ready to peel and stick onto the controller. No additional tools or accessories are required.
Will the grips leave sticky residue on my controller?
No. The adhesive is formulated to peel away cleanly, so when you remove the grips your DualSense should look the same as it did before installation.
Are the materials safe and durable for long-term use?
Yes. The grips use a foam cushioning layer, a moisture-wicking fabric top, and a controller-safe adhesive, all designed for regular, long-term use without breaking down or harming the controller shell.
What is the difference between controller grips and thumbsticks?
Thumbsticks change the height and shape of the analog sticks to alter aim feel, while grips add cushioning and traction to the handles of the controller itself. They solve different problems and are often used together.
