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
Will this look like a thoughtful, premium gift when I give it to a gamer friend or family member?
Yes. The Performance Grips arrive in a retail-ready package with a clean, modern look that fits birthday, holiday, and Valentine's Day gifting. Pick Nightfall Black, Inferno Red, or Galaxy Purple to match the recipient's setup or favorite color.
Is this a good last-minute gift that can be delivered quickly?
Yes. Because the grips are lightweight and ship in a small box, they qualify for fast shipping options at most retailers, making them a strong pick-up gift when you need something thoughtful on short notice.
Do I need to know the gamer's exact PS5 model to buy this as a gift?
No. Performance Grips are designed for the standard PS5 DualSense controller, which is the controller bundled with every PS5 console. As long as the recipient owns a PS5, the grips will fit.
Can I give this to someone who already has a DualSense without worrying about duplicates?
Yes. The grips are an accessory add-on, not a replacement, so even a gamer who already owns a DualSense will appreciate the upgrade in comfort and grip.
Is the packaging presentable enough to give as-is, or do I need to wrap it?
The retail box is presentable on its own, but the slim profile makes it easy to slip into a gift bag or wrap with a small sheet of wrapping paper if you want a more festive reveal.
What's the best color to pick if I don't know the recipient's personal style?
Nightfall Black is the safest universal choice and matches any DualSense. Inferno Red suits a PlayStation-themed setup, while Galaxy Purple feels more personal and stands out.
Is this safe to gift to a younger teen gamer?
Yes. The grips are a non-electronic accessory made of foam, fabric, and adhesive, with no small ingestible parts or sharp edges once installed.
Will it feel like a meaningful gift or a generic filler present?
Because it directly improves comfort, grip, and aim during the games they already play, most gamers see this as a personal, considered gift rather than a generic add-on.
Do I need to include batteries, cables, or anything else to make the gift complete?
No. The grips are self-contained and require no charging, cables, or extra components, so the box is truly everything the recipient needs.
Can I pair this with another small gift to make a bundle?
Yes. Performance Grips pair well with a charging station, thumbsticks, or a gift card, and the small box makes it easy to combine into one wrapped bundle.
How does gifting Performance Grips compare to gifting a brand-new controller?
A new controller costs several times more and the recipient may already own one, while Performance Grips upgrade the controller they already use and are easier to wrap or ship.
Is this a better gift than a generic video game gift card?
It is a more tactile, personal option. A gift card is spent and forgotten, while grips are used every time the recipient picks up the controller.
Why would a gamer want grips if they didn't ask for them as a gift?
Many casual gamers don't know grip accessories exist until they receive them. Once installed, the comfort and sweat resistance are immediately noticeable, which makes it a welcome surprise.
What if the recipient doesn't end up liking the color I chose?
Because the adhesive is repositionable and removable without damage, they can simply peel the grips off, and a second color set can be purchased without affecting the controller.
Is there a way to tell if this specific grip model is the right one for a PS5 owner and not an older PlayStation?
Yes. The product listing specifies PS5 DualSense compatibility, so as long as the recipient's controller is a standard DualSense (the white or black one included with PS5), this is the correct version.
Will the recipient be able to install it themselves, or will they need help?
Installation is a simple peel-and-stick process that takes a few minutes, and the included instructions are clear enough for a first-time user to follow without assistance.
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.
