Pros:
-The plastic is not slippery, the material by itself provides a lot of grip without relying too much on the designed swirly tread. It does need some wiping off if you have sweaty hands or you just get them slippery with some sort of oil/liquid.
-The DS4 actually feels more comfortable (I moved from 360 to PS4 so the DS4 for me was becoming uncomfortable compared to the xbox)
-It does help with accuracy and response time. From snipping(camping) to just ruunning around with a shotgun in BF1 these sticks do help.
-Due to the grip, the analog sticks stop slipping from your thumbs completely.
-Comfortable for long sustained hours of play.
-They click into place securely, there's no play or looseness.
Cons:
-If you have certified small hands the left stick may be a little awkward and painful to use, the height increase is very noticeable.
-There seems to be some minor molding seams on the sides that should be removed during production but they are a minor cosmetic thing.
Good Points:
・The material has just the right amount of firmness, striking a perfect balance between not being too soft or too hard, which greatly enhances the comfort during extended gameplay sessions. While the original material of the DualSense controller used to tire my fingers after 2 hours of play, this product has made gaming much more enjoyable.
・Ever since I added this to the right grip, my aiming accuracy with weapons in games has noticeably improved. In games like Apex and Call of Duty, where precise weapon control is very crucial, KontrolFreek products have become indispensable.
Areas for improvement:
・KontrolFreek is well-known for enhancing controller performance, but it can seem a bit on the expensive side. Considering the quality of the materials used, offering some discounts might be worth considering.
・Regular cleaning might be necessary for this product. The top part of the product, where your fingers come into contact, has a grooved design that can sometimes collect dirt. It would be even more appealing if it were made from antimicrobial material.
・I would love to see a wider range of color options. Having products with the same structure and design available in common colors like white or black would be a welcome addition. Since the original DualSense controller comes in white and black, having colorful options could add a touch of vibrancy to the design.

The high rise convex is the best way to go for FPS games. Has a very good grip.
I didn't find the mid rise concave grip useful on the R analog stick. So just simply slapped it onto to the L analog stick.
In case of default grips on the dual shock 4 controller, I always find myself in constant need for re-adjusting my thumb on the R analog stick, because they are concave and slippery.
The convex grips provide a greater grip when compared to the concave ones.
Coming to Precision. The mid rise will not have a significant improvement. The high rise on the other hand will definitely improve your precision.
I usually play on higher sensitivity. So my control on aim improved to finer levels. If you are already a good sniper then this will take your sniping to the next level.
Only regret is that i hadn't tried the high rise convex grip already.
