Game Pad Thumb Covers

If you prefer using a gamepad instead of the mouse and keypad combination, we recommend getting thumb covers if you don’t like the feel of the default sticks of the Xbox One and/or PlayStation 4 controllers. This is especially true with the DualShock 4 as the rubber tends to break down after some usage. You can find our recommend game pad covers with the links located just below:
