Kontrol Freaks Precision Rings Review-Gimmick or Game Changer?

$13 foam rings that sit over your analog stick stems to create resistance giving you more control over your aiming. First of all that's a steep price for some food dye and foam, secondly the way these work makes sense when you think about what they do. The bottom of the thumbstick cap has something between the front shell of your controller to make you more precise. Will these turn you into the next controller god esports athlete, no but they do work.

[@NfiniteRage]

For me this has been a complete game-changer. My aim has vastly improved. Especially on apex legends. I feel like I have a lot.more control on where I place the reticle. Us controller players need all the help we can get because aiming with your thumb is so limited compared to aiming with a mouse.

[@mal1845]

What are your settings? I just got a set of precision rings and I'm on 400 yaw and 220 extra yaw right now because the rings make my right stick feel alot slower. Just looking for other opinions

[@mal1845]

I also improved my aim in apex but i think it's causing really bad stick drift and i'm maybe going to switch back

I made one out of high density foam in 5 minutes. The type of foam that goes around a pipe that you can buy at hardware stores or foam stores. I used a dime and cut around it, cut a hole in the middle, popped it on. Works perfect, for $0, Since I already had the foam. Almost any type of foam will work as long as it’s not super soft.

[@rehzxy4428]

These are a must if you like to run a sens higher than 9.

[@EdgeOfFuzz]

Out of curiosity I’m going to give these a shot either way. I always noticed a difference in tension in the sticks back from the PS3 days. I always liked the tension on the PS3 sticks, but obviously just adjusted to the subsequent ones. So let’s see how it goes

[@noloveinthesestreets5037]

PS3 controll tension was nice . Did u try em out yet? How are they?

[@EdgeOfFuzz]

@@noloveinthesestreets5037 I got them today and tried the lowest tension ones so far. You definitely need to up your sensitivity up by one or two and there’s obviously resistance your thumb has to get used to, but overall it worked surprisingly well. I still need more time with them of course, but I did some rounds of Aim Lab stuff and my scores were significantly increased. Time will tell.

[@lonewolfstrife3637]

How did it go ? I'm trying to get more tension on the xbox controller

[@lonewolfstrife3637]

@@EdgeOfFuzz how does compare to the ps4 controller? Is it more tension

[@EdgeOfFuzz]

@@lonewolfstrife3637 I’ve only tried the greens one which are the lowest tension and I don’t think I’ll need the stronger one. In tracking my progress on AimLab I definitely saw an improvement and I believe it translated to Warzone. However, there is an adjustment period; it’s like lifting weights for your thumb muscles so I would suggest taking a break for a day or two as not overstrain the muscle. You also need to up for sensitivity by 1-3 to fully experience it. Overall I like them, but I do find the thumb strain a bit annoying. I hope that’ll go away over time as I get used it.

[@texturalbard]

Not often I subscribe on the first video. Keep it up, don't let me down!

[@Ev3ning]

As someone who likes the balance of quick looking and small precise adjustments, these are a game changer. Having switched to the Gamesir G7 after a great GAMER HEAVEN review, these are perfect for the Gamesir G7, as it’s a very responsive controller. Combined with the G7, these rings, and a kontrol freek tall stick, I barely touch my Scuf Instinct Pro anymore.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Why not just put the precision rings on the Scuf Instinct Pro instead of using the 2 rear button, wired, budget bracket G7? Nothing wrong if you prefer the G7, just it's a $40 gamepad and the Instinct Pro is a $230 wireless pro controller.

[@Ev3ning]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial the Scuf sticks aren’t responsive enough, the deadzones are too big, the right stick barely registers movement with the rings. Would have to use max sensitivity in game. In fairness I’ve used the Scuf for a year.

[@HawkNocturnal]

What strength so u use?

[@Ev3ning]

Soft. The Green ones.

[@HawkNocturnal]

@@Ev3ning just ordered the gamesir g7. Just to try it out for the price it seems insane! And I ordered the test pack with the three different variants of the precision rings. So yeah I’m gonna try it out. I think the soft one is the best for me as well. But I don’t know how soft the sticks are on the g7, so we’ll see. How do u think the sticks are let’s say compared to a normal series x controller.

[@suhtangwong]

Idk about everybody but it works for me, put sensitivity higher and make things more accurate.

[@SketchyyHD]

On certain games it’s impossible to turn or look up fast enough on max sens with medium tension rings. Ima give the soft one a chance to see if those help

[@fsnastyyy8100]

depends on the game and how the games sense work. for example on a game like fortnite having your sense around 50-65 with the hard tension works very well.

[@WeskerXM96E1]

Couldn't this in theory be done with magnet's in hall effect gamepads? Why not have a switch with 3 setting of strength, force needed to push the thumb stick's against? Wouldn't that achieve the same effect without ya controller looking like its got burst coloured condoms on the thumb sticks?

Aren't these trash and basically just artificially make it so you can't hit the edge of your deadzone (thus your max input is slower than 100%). If you reduce your max deadzone with these on, they perform the same as having no ring on, but with a smaller range of motion.
