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:
- Fosmon Analog Stick Joystick Controller Performance Thumb Grips
- Grip-iT Analog Stick Covers
- Ortz Analog Thumb Grip Stick Covers

It also comes with a noise cancelling microphone. If you are interested, you can purchase the PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset (which can also be used with the PlayStation 3) via this page.

It also comes with an adjustable microphone, active bass, memory foam cushions and more. You can check out the new headset, which is also compatible with the PC, here.
