FAQs
What material are Thumb Treadz made from?
Thumb Treadz are made from a soft-grip silicon material.
How many Thumb Treadz are included in a pack?
Each pack includes 4 interchangeable Thumb Treadz attachments.
Can Thumb Treadz be used on controllers other than the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons?
Thumb Treadz are specifically designed for Nintendo Switch Joy-Con analogue sticks. While they might fit similar-sized sticks, compatibility is not guaranteed for other controller types.
Will Thumb Treadz damage my controller's analogue sticks?
No, Thumb Treadz are designed to be safe for your controller's analogue sticks and can be applied and removed without causing damage.
How do I clean Thumb Treadz?
You can clean them by gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
How long do Thumb Treadz typically last?
The lifespan depends on usage intensity. With proper care, they can provide enhanced grip and protection for a considerable gaming period before showing signs of wear.
Do Thumb Treadz affect controller performance in any way other than grip?
Thumb Treadz primarily enhance grip and protect the analogue sticks. They do not add new functionality or alter the inherent performance of the controller's sensors.
Troubleshooting
Thumb Treadz are slipping off the analogue stick.
Ensure the analogue stick is clean and dry before application. Press down evenly to secure the Treadz. If wear is apparent on the Treadz, consider replacing them.
Difficulty applying Thumb Treadz.
Gently stretch the silicon. If the stick is unusually large or textured, ensure you are applying even pressure around the base.
Reduced grip after some use.
Clean the Thumb Treadz with a damp cloth to remove oils and debris that may have accumulated. This will restore the textured grip.
Thumb Treadz feel uncomfortable.
Experiment with different placements or ensure they are fully seated. If discomfort persists, try a different set of colours or consider if the added thickness is suitable for your grip style.
