You probably have some Electrical Insulation Tape laying around, and it's a great alternative to this. I just put a little bit of tape (WITH TWEEZERS, or else it's impossible) on the sticks of a ReDragon Harrow (G808) and works great. The best way to do this, is if you dismantle the joystick and pull away the stick's caps, it'd take more time for sure. I'll game with it for a while and if I notice any difference I'll comment it bellow.

I have been using an alternative solution for about two years - silicone rings. They work exactly the same way, are cheap, easy to install, have different colors, and also reduce bump noise (when the stick hits the edge of the bounding circle). Maybe they can add a little bit of tension when sliding along the edge of the circle, but I didn't notice it.

Are they the elastic band type things? I use them, but they don't last long before they split.

i usually use simple transparent adhesive tape, it works good. it's strange that your controllers have anti-friction rings and still do that damage on the analog caps. ps5's dualsense is the only controller i have with those rings and they work flawlessy, no need to apply any tape.

A very interesting idea. That dust that builds up around my joysticks has always bothered me. Thanks for doing that sound test. Few KZbinrs do stuff like that.

Thank you so much for posting this. My BinBok Ultra HE unit clearly has an antifriction ring but it's clearly not functional. After hardly any use I can see debris from the joystick on the ring and markings on the stick. Appreciate you

You can also get black tape, which would blend in nicer.

Hi! Do you have the dimensions I need to cut the tape to fit perfectly? :) Awesome idea!
@VKsChannel3 ай бұрын
The dimensions are different depending on the controller Just cut a big slice and start trimming it down until it fits
@donny57073 ай бұрын
you can measure first using paper. then use that as sample before cut the tape not all analogue sticks diameter are equal. some are thicker abit.
@ikhsanuriman3 ай бұрын
i checked every controller that i have, dualshock, gulikit kk3, 8bitdo then i got the diameter is 9.5mm, using Circumference you will get 29.8mm for long and a lot of analog have height around 4,5mm
