Great grips for steamdeck joystick
I have the steam deck OLED and these grips seem to work great for it! The grips appear to be high-quality you should last but I’ve only use them for about 10 hours, so we’ll see. I can appreciate that they provide two different types of grips, one concave and the other more rounded with a hexagon type pattern. There is a little neck to attaching these to the joystick, but once done they stay on really well. I can’t speak much to value, but they seem reasonable for the apparent quality, fit and function so far! I can’t think of any negatives, perhaps I’ll get a different color next time. Edit: I've been using this honeycomb pattern for sometime now, and I still like them alot, however I started to notice a little bit of slipping after long sessions. Cleaning the caps with rubbing alcohol every now and again, has helped.

Simple, grippy, and slim
Perfect fit and not bulky! I love how sleek they are and they don’t distract from the whole. Good grip! Love them!

Does what it's supposed to.
This was purchased for use with my Steam Deck. As there were no reviews at the time of my purchase, I took the bullet so you can make an educated purchase. First off, the Capacitive Touch Sensors do work with the caps on. Also, with the caps on and no protective case, they will fit in the Valve provided Steam Deck Case without depressing and clicking the sticks. Will update if I ever add a protective case. Design: I purchased primarily for the Diamond Grain but have ended up using the Crack Bomb design. Reason for this being, the Diamond Grain has a more domed form where as the Crack Bomb is more concave and seems to hug the sticks better. Have not had them shift or come off yet, but I haven't put that much time into them. Installation of the caps is not as easy as the seller suggests in their pictures, they will not snap on immediately as suggested. Turn them inside out and slowly flip the edges down in a clockwise or counter clockwise motion, if a side gets folded under, just rotate the caps and that should be enough to unfold them. Be weary, too many attempts could stretch out the caps as they are not the most pliable silicone. Additional Note: Although the product description does state this was "designed for Steam Deck" and is "NOT compatible with other controller or console", these are definitely compatible with and fit PERFECTLY on the Nintendo Switch Joycons and I absolutely believe these were designed primarily for Joycons. For $9.99, it was an "ok" buy. I don't regret it yet.

Very difficult to install but…
They’re very difficult to install but feel great once on. By the way, these will not snap on like shown in those “how to” videos. The trick is to turn them inside out, center them on the thumb stick then slowly turn them back over the thumb stick one small area at a time.. And because they’re so tight, they will not “dance/move” on the thumb stick so that’s a plus!! I haven’t had a long gaming session since installing them but they immediately made the thumb stick much more comfortable. I bought them mainly because I don’t like the surrounding ridge on the steam deck’s thumb stick and these have been providing adequate grip and comfort.

Nice but a pita to put them on
I wanted to personalize my steam deck a bit so I got these and shoulder button extensions. Haven't tried the shoulders yet but they look easier than these. Apparently the "preferred" application method is to use your fingers to literally turn these inside out then place them on top of the joystick and allow the rubber edges to flip down into place. This can be easier to say than do if you have limited feeling in your fingertips like I do. These appear to fit "tightly" as opposed to some products that fit more loosely. I haven't succeeded in getting them on yet but I'm not going to give up. You get two sets in the package in case some get lost or damaged. I had a thought that putting these in hot water might help them go on a little bit easier haven't tried yet.

Good feel and the touch sensitive pads still work.
These work great on a Steam Deck. The touch-sensitive thumb sticks still work through the rubber, and the texture feels better for quick movements.
