Performance Grips by KontrolFreek are advanced controller grips that utilize a combination of advanced materials that give gamers better grip, support and comfort. Grips are easy to apply and can be repositioned and removed without leaving a sticky residue.
Grips utilize a moisture-wicking combination of advanced proprietary materials to achieve enhanced grip and comfort. Our proprietary, honeycomb-stamped polymer outer layer maximizes grip while optimizing airflow to keep hands cool. The foam cushioning layer creates a feel much like dense memory foam, conforming to your palm and providing more support and comfort the harder you game.
Performance Grips are available in three colors: Nightfall black, Inferno red and Galaxy purple. They are made for PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. ***Packaging May Vary***

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these grips safe for a younger teen to install and use?
Yes. The grips are a soft foam and fabric accessory with no electronics, no sharp edges, and no small parts that pose a choking hazard once installed, making them appropriate for older kids and teens.
Will the adhesive damage a younger gamer's PS5 controller?
No. The adhesive is specifically designed to be repositionable and removable, so it will not leave residue, marks, or damage on the original controller shell when taken off.
Can a child put them on and take them off by themselves?
Yes. The peel-and-stick design is simple enough for a teen to handle without adult help, and because the adhesive is forgiving, small alignment mistakes can be corrected easily.
Is this a good starter accessory for a kid new to customizing their controller?
Yes. It is one of the most beginner-friendly upgrades because it requires no tools, no disassembly, and is fully reversible, so a young gamer can experiment without risk.
Will younger gamers with smaller hands find the grips comfortable?
The foam adds only a thin layer of cushioning, so it should not make the controller feel too bulky for smaller hands, and the softer surface can actually help younger players hold on more comfortably.
Are the materials safe if a child handles them a lot before installing?
The materials are standard foam and fabric used in consumer accessories, and they do not contain liquid chemicals or sharp components, so normal handling is safe.
Will the colors appeal to a kid or teen gamer?
Inferno Red and Galaxy Purple are both popular with younger players who like bold colors, while Nightfall Black offers a more mature, stealth look that works for teens as well.
Is this an appropriate gift for a college student living in a dorm?
Yes. The grips are compact, install in minutes, and make long dorm-room gaming sessions more comfortable, which is a common need for students who play in between classes.
Will my child outgrow the grips or need to replace them quickly?
Because the foam and adhesive are durable, a single set typically lasts as long as the underlying controller does, even with daily use by an active young gamer.
Can the grips be removed if my child changes their mind about the color?
Yes. The adhesive is fully removable without damage, so a parent or child can peel them off and switch to a different color or return to a stock controller at any time.
How do these compare to letting a kid use a silicone skin instead?
Silicone skins add grip but can be harder for younger users to install and remove, and they can trap moisture. Performance Grips are easier to apply, more breathable, and gentler on the controller.
Is this a better choice than buying a younger gamer a new controller?
For kids and teens who already have a working DualSense, grips are a much more affordable upgrade that improves comfort without the cost of a second controller.
How do they compare to aftermarket thumbsticks for a beginner?
Thumbsticks change how the controller feels to play, which can be confusing for new gamers. Grips are a more intuitive first upgrade because they simply make the controller more comfortable to hold.
What if my child installs them crooked or in the wrong spot?
Because the adhesive is repositionable, you can peel them off and reapply without losing stickiness or damaging the controller, so a crooked install is an easy fix.
Will the grips hold up to an enthusiastic, rough-handed young gamer?
Yes. The adhesive is designed to stay in place through aggressive play, including rapid movement, button mashing, and competitive combos common among younger gamers.
Is this an acceptable accessory for a parent's house where the PS5 is shared?
Yes. The grips do not change button layout or input, so other family members can pick up the controller and play normally without any learning curve.
How do I install KontrolFreek Performance Grips on my PS5 DualSense controller?
Clean the controller grips with a dry cloth, peel each grip from its backing, align it with the corresponding handle of the DualSense, and press firmly into place. The whole process usually takes under five minutes.
How do I remove the grips without damaging my controller?
Slowly peel each grip off starting from one edge. Because the adhesive is repositionable, it is designed to lift away cleanly without leaving residue or pulling off the controller's finish.
Can I reapply the grips after removing them?
Yes, in most cases. The adhesive is repositionable, so you can lift the grips off, realign them, and press them back into place. If they lose stickiness over many reapplications, it is time to replace the set.
Are these grips compatible with the standard PS5 DualSense controller?
Yes. Performance Grips are designed specifically for the standard PS5 DualSense controller, including both the original white model and later color variants.
Do they fit the DualSense Edge controller?
These grips are designed for the standard DualSense. For the DualSense Edge, KontrolFreek offers a separate grip set designed for that controller's slightly different shape.
What is included in the box when I buy Performance Grips?
Each box contains one pair of Performance Grips (left and right) for the PS5 DualSense, ready to peel and stick onto the controller. No additional tools or accessories are required.
Will the grips leave sticky residue on my controller?
No. The adhesive is formulated to peel away cleanly, so when you remove the grips your DualSense should look the same as it did before installation.
Are the materials safe and durable for long-term use?
Yes. The grips use a foam cushioning layer, a moisture-wicking fabric top, and a controller-safe adhesive, all designed for regular, long-term use without breaking down or harming the controller shell.
What is the difference between controller grips and thumbsticks?
Thumbsticks change the height and shape of the analog sticks to alter aim feel, while grips add cushioning and traction to the handles of the controller itself. They solve different problems and are often used together.
