Despite primarily being a console player for my entire gaming life, I’ve always thought controller grips and add-on thumb grips or sticks were for those pretending to be ‘pro gamers.’ Or, to put it crudely, just for fools. There, I said it.
However, I couldn't have been more wrong, and have had that proved to me recently. This year more than any other I’ve been more focused on PlayStation 5 gaming hardware and accessories from an accessibility point of view - and all this time grips and sticks were sleeper hits for exactly that. They can make playing games easier and more comfortable, and, as a result, more enjoyable.
