NS Silicon Thumbpads - Black

Arrived well thank you!

Great Thumb Grips

These are by far my favorite thumb grips. Honestly the switch joysticks just don’t feel right without it now. I just wish they’d offer the other colors on their site like the ones they give you with the Animal crossing or ice grips (blue/green and white). Love these though

Concave vs Convex

I got the Satisfye case and these pads were included, at first I thought well why not try them out. Now I think Nintendo should have made them like this in the first place. Look at your thumb it's Convex (curving outwards) look at the Pro Thumb Pads they are Concave (curving inwards) so it is a match offering greater contact surface area for your thumbs, this means less chance of slipping. They also reduce wear and tear on your sticks. Just buy the Pro Thumb Pad pack and swap them out when they wear out. They do fit easy but can come off accidentally, which is why I had to buy this pack as I lost one. To combat this in future the lower half could be made of a more rigid rubber and the top 5mm or so with the existing softer rubber, you may need to put them into hot water, dry them off then put them on while in this more elastic state. I think this would make it perfect. Bonus: The GuliKit is the only dock replacement that I found that can charge your Switch with your grips attached, it is almost perfect, I peeled off the rubber pad on the bottom and added a 2.5mm plexiglass sheet to the bottom with double sided tape then put the rubber pad back on. Hope this helps you guys.
