FAQs
Are these grips compatible with the PS5 controller?
No, these grips are specifically designed for the PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 controller and are not compatible with the PS5 DualSense controller.
How do I clean the Gioteck GTX Pro Grips?
Gently remove the grips from the controller. Wipe them with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching them.
How many grips are included in the pack?
The pack includes 4 pairs of grips, totaling 8 individual grips, in four different designs: Storm Eye, Adventure, Warfare, and Football.
Will these grips protect my analog sticks from damage?
Yes, the high-quality silicone material helps protect the analog sticks from wear and tear, scratches, dirt, and other common forms of damage.
Is installation difficult?
No, installation is very easy and requires no tools or special skills. You simply flip the grip inside out, place it over the analog stick, and flip the edges back down.
Can I use these grips on Xbox controllers?
No, these grips are designed exclusively for PlayStation 4 controllers. They are not compatible with Xbox controllers.
Do the grips affect controller sensitivity?
The grips are designed to enhance precision and responsiveness. While they add texture and a slightly different surface, they aim to improve, not hinder, control sensitivity.
Troubleshooting
Grips feel loose or slip off during gameplay.
Ensure the grips were installed correctly by flipping the edges down fully around the base of the analog stick. Try re-installing, making sure the grip is centered and taut.
Difficulty getting grips onto the analog sticks.
Gently stretch the silicone as you invert it. Ensure you are flipping the grip inside-out first, then placing it over the stick before flipping the edges down.
Reduced analog stick movement range.
Check that the grips are the correct size for the PS4 controller and are not bunched up. Ensure they are installed smoothly without wrinkles that might impede movement.
Grips feel uncomfortable or are not providing the expected grip.
Try a different grip design from the pack, as they may have subtle differences in texture or height. Ensure your hands and the controller grips are clean.
