After years of buying cheap (and not so cheap) thumb grips and having them flick off halfway through a game, Great!, along come Thumb Soldiers and provide a strong, secure, comfortable and adaptive solution

First for Racer and [second] the classic Studs... I am more than impressed, keep doing what you are doing!

They may not be the cheapest, BUT think about the amount of grips that you may go through and then you will realise that these are the sensible option. Well Done Thumb Soldiers! 👍🏼

I bought these as a gift for my partner, and after a couple of weeks of trying it out, this is what he had to say:

After being gifted the Thumb Soldier Studs, I was keen to see if they’d make a difference in PvP games and found that in general my performance increased. After a short amount of time, I adjusted to the slightly different feel. They increased precision, allowing me to make more subtle corrections in my aim. I could also more comfortably play using higher aim sensitivities, allowing me to turn faster and react quicker without compromising my accuracy.

Trying out the Thumb Soldiers has been great. The fighting attachments (Sticks kit) make games like Mortal Kombat feel easier to play and more like an arcade experience, with smoother control on the right stick. The shooting attachments (Step Up kit) also feel really good and working well for games like Call of Duty.

I took a gamble on the Racer Thumbs and they are fantastic...I've definitely knocked off a few tenths!

Much better than relying on pressure and friction on the stick to navigate the car.

Great product!

The Studs make it easier to move the right stick when trying them in Ghost of Tsushima & the Racing ones make you stay even on the road in the game .

Overall, these attachments make control easier across different types of games, and I’m excited to keep using them — I’ll definitely be picking up more in the future.

Thumb Soldiers are an amazing company who really care about their customers and really do go all out for you, when my knuckles didn't fit properly they were quick to send me some new ones after measuring the thumb sticks and realising the playstation ones fit as I have a turtlebeach controller.

Both the Navigation and Racing ones are amazing and have made a huge difference 😊

The big round Shroom pads do make general interaction with the sticks far easier for those with shorter thumbs like me.

The thumb soldiers when they arrived were packaged excellently and well made. They came with an easy fitting guide and where a great improvement for me. I would recommend them to anyone needing this type of controller. Very happy!!

Superb company and products. Really impressed with the customer service and how well these toppers are made. The clamp system is genius.

Very fast delivery, and superb (best of its type) product.

Seriously, I really love these and strongly recommend them, regardless of your abilities.

These peripherals are really useful for several reasons but primarily, the controller is now accessible. I’ve found each Thumb Soldiers kit useful when gaming, and I no longer feel exhausted after a few hours of gaming. My wrists and hand no longer hurt too much, and I have Thumb Soldiers to thank for that. I couldn’t be more grateful for that.

I usually play racing games and bought a set for PS5, mainly for GT7...I was surprised by the smoothness of control I achieved after a few laps, and not only in other games, such as AC, which I notice the most because it allows me to play without ABS or traction control, which is practically impossible without a steering wheel.  But.  Also games like ACC, MotoGP or EA WRC.  

So the first thing I achieved was better steering smoothness and control of the car in corners, which is very positive in terms of comfort and better fun, and then it's a matter of finding the limit to increase the pace in every game I have.  I sent 2 gameplays to a friend who is a veteran of Fanatec equipment and he said that the fluidity or jump in the way I play is on a different level, it cannot be ignored.  

Of course, you also need time to practice and set all parameters so that they are comfortable, as with any equipment.  Overall, I am happy with this add-on and even more so because it was supposed to be for simpler racing games and now I have put GT7 aside because I have fun playing Assetto Corsa which I haven't had for a long time when I sold 2 steering wheels due to lack of space and less energy after work.

A good product for anyone who plays with a controller.

I like these thumb grips... the top has a smooth finish which feels nice and your thumbs don't feel like they are slipping all over the place and the knuckles are a good thing to keep them in place and locked on tight.

I don't get that itchiness you get from previous thumbsticks where things come out in a rash... they have helped me get some good kills and helped me out in game

Recommended to me by a user on the disabled gamers subreddit
The prospect of using these to improve my hands-free gaming setup was really exciting. I intended to use my lips with these navigation caps to give me precise control in some of the more complex games I haven't dared to touch since my injury. 
I think the cost is reasonable, and there's real potential for these to improve one's gaming experience

I was skeptical at first so i thought I'd give them a try, and I'm glad I did. After comparing my laptimes (with and without) I discovered my laptimes improved significantly. like anything new it took a short time to get used to. Thumb Soldiers are a friendly company offering a great product. Highly Recommended 10/10

I found you through a YouTube video related to the game PGA 2K25. It wasn’t an advertisement but rather a video about how the ThumbSticks could help with control in the game. I have Kontrol Freaks today, but I’m afraid the “snap on” mechanism is damaging the controller over time. I liked your universal docking clip and the number of different ThumbSticks that can be used.

These are easy to set up and have helped me improve my gaming, especially directional accuracy…felt a little weird at first but after a bit of getting used to them they are really good and my thumb now sits straight so it puts less pressure & are comfortable to use even after playing for a few hours.

Disabled gamers can't just buy a game and play it.. Its not that easy. We nearly always have to think outside the box when it comes to 'playing video games' ..and that's where Thumb Soldiers have been a revolution for me.

What the little T-bar does is it lets me bring the right stick about two inch closer to the left stick which turns a xbox joypad into one that that be used single handedly, which is an absolute godsend for me...Thank you Thumb Soldiers.

I would find it almost impossible to play without the studs so want to say thanks for  coming up with such a great product that is different from what others are doing!

I've been using the racer kit for around a week now and I'm so happy with them. I've taken off almost a second off some tracks due to the fact I have much more control of the car using the loop, I will never go back to using rubber thumb grips!!
