- Today we're quickly going over some simple KontrolFreek designs that I find quite recommendable. Simple KontrolFreeks always work best, but some of their more experimental designs are fun to use as well! I'd like to give another huge thanks to KontrolFreek for sending out the Apex Legend sticks for this video, they're a wonderful set of sticks, and one of the few god tier game exclusives

#kontrolfreek - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Dude you make me laugh every single video! Your jokes are always well timed and are nice stingers. Found you looking at controllers a while back but the comedy got the sub! Keep it up man!
Thank you!
My favorite design/pair is hard to find now. The Ultra/Alpha High/Low pack. All black, simple Astro-style design. It was clean and functional.
I like the Galaxy 🌌 ones. The Inferno’s are dope to, but the Galaxy 🌌 is just more comfortable on my thumb!
Ive used the Galaxy, cold war, and Omni kontrolfreeks, and I think they all serve their purpose. Galaxy is best for simplicity, Omni is best for people who don't like tall thumbsticks, and cold war, despite the unpopular design, is actually the one I enjoy using the most
What about the infernos , Snipr or battle royals?
only one of those I've tried is the infernos and they aren't too bad, I prefer galaxy tho
I strongly enjoy inferno or galaxy tall for aim stick w/ omni low on movement
Ive gone through about 20 different designs to find the best ones. My favorite combo currently is low or mid ride dome on the left, the one I use alot is actually from Walmart (not KF brand), the CoD Zombies Revive one is pretty good too, and the Overwatch high rise on the right.
For a low option I love the Omni
Bought the OG CQC freeks for my new series controller the other day. Threw on some black rings as well because the new Xbox sticks are way too light on resistance. Sens maxed, dead zone at 15% and Loving it! Perfect driving control and aim almost as good as a mouse, although a little slower.
From a lot of research, the consensus is that the infernos are the best. Galaxy second best. What do you think?
Just started watching your content. Bro! You need to do game reviews. You crack me up with your brutal review. Too damn funny. 😂😂
My first Freeks were the OG green low rise which ended up being great for playing claw but I eventually switched to the black CQC. I still have them because of how durable they are and I don’t play much anymore since my preferred FPS games have pretty much went down the toilet. Thanks for the video. You always make it entertaining. 🎮 💯
The Galaxy is great with the purple precision ring. It helps me keep my tracking steady at long range when I shoot enemy's out of the sky in warzone.
What sensitivity you play on with the purple ring
@@scrums173 I think I played 6-6
@@shotarcherz1690it’s a long time now, how is the Kontrol Freak so far? Any improvements u feel using it?
I don’t use controllers often but I like your vids and the presentation mixed with your personality lol.
I like to rock the mid high galaxy on my left stick and the high inferno on my right. Its a perfect combo imo
Ew inferno is just bad
I love the infernos and the white galaxy. I think they are wonderful
Cudaaaaaaa the best tech channel because I actually trust his unbiased judgment 🙌.
Woooooo, new video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I honestly want Vcuda to show all his custom lego minifigures now, the batman and joker ones look dope
I like my siege ones, very nice, just got the apex ones to kind of retire my siege ones.
i like these Kontrol Freek😀they are so special.
I’ve tried most KF’s and nothing compares to Infernos. Comfy as hell, thumb doesn’t slip, and they look sexy.
Would you recommend them as my first pair of kf?
@@Birbooo i bought them getting them this week and its my first kf's
@@AV64422
How are the infernos?
And they’re the most durable, compared to the galaxies
Mint content bro, any chance you will be reviewing the Xim Nexus?
I have some experience with KontrolFreeks and I have some thoughts. Some of the designs are good, but they get slippery easily (Galaxy). Almost all of the start degrading (like physically crumbling) after a week of use (CQC Rush). I like the Vortex for the low rise concave stick, and the Inferno for the high rise concave stick. Also these designs seem to be a bit more durable than the other versions I have tried that have left rubber bits all over my controller.
The CQC Rush was slippy for me so I put a single hexagon of grip tape right in the center and its held up surprisingly well. I haven't slipped since
I’ve literally been using the same two pairs of KontrolFreeks for 3+ years and have never experienced any noticeable physical degradation and certainly never experienced any physical crumbling whatsoever.
@@xINF3CTI0Nx literal sandpaper on your thumbs lets go
Based upon my experience, i felt like Concave was a bit too slippery, and i didn’t get much grip. My main gripe with them as well is that they seem to wear off fairly quickly after like 2-3 months. Happened to my Galaxy, Phantoms, and Infernos.
With Convex in the other hand, which i prefer for years, i never had that problem. I felt like i had more grip, comfort, and aim was a whole lot better than concave.
i hate the fact they ALWAYS fall off, overrated icl
My favorite are the cqc signature and the destiny 2 KF.
This man is goated
Only ever used a tall inferno. It’s perfect
Yeah I have the galaxies, and like them. I think I'm more comfortable with the mid rise over the high rise though. I used the soft rubber rings on my right stick, and found it made it easier to stay on target, not necessary get on target. I had to bump my sensitivity up to max, and increase the max deadzone to 90%. I just don't know anymore lol. I took everything off to start over fresh lol think I might keep the mid rise on the left (for some reason that feels better to me), and put a rubber cover over the tight stick, and possibly avoid the rings
I've switched to lefty, might buy a kontrol freak to help out since my left thumb has no muscle memory yet.
Cuda do you think the black KF’s are worth buying? I already have a purple set. I thought about buying because they say it’s a limited edition
Im also a flat user, my go tos are green MW2 highs and there's a suprisingly good Saint's Row pair(they look dumb but play great with the edge ridges)
As an Apex Pred in Apex Legends currently I can say the fps target apex pack or Cold War pack and Razer Wolverine is all I’ve needed. 13x Apex Pred.
@@nolifey he said he's using them on a Razer wolverine which I'm pretty sure is a Xbox controller
I adore the low rise Omni KFs. They have like this bidirectional grip that works no matter how the KF is placed, they don’t add much height to the stick which is great for my casual gaming sessions, and they look great. To me.
I have the Vanguard high rise ones. They're pretty okay, comfortable, design doesn't suck, and they match my red controller. Cons: They remind me that Vanguard exists
😂
Hey Cuda, do you know of any thumbstick grips that would fit on the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma? I've been looking and can't seem to find a straight answer. Thanks man.
Ive got razer wolverine ultimate joystick and i wanted to ask you, would you use low stick with red vortex kontrol freek or high stick that comes with a joystick?
100% KF's last more than the controller. Ive been through 1 Inferno (rubber came loose and split off a while ago), but im on my 3rd controller. It has been great for FPS games, but i play rocket league half the time also, and then i just pop it off real quick
Hi cuda! What controller would u say is best for COD. I play competetively and want the best one out there. Thanks for the help!! Also hate stick drift lmao..
You should try out the atomic's , they are not popular but they are very good
Great stuff man! I found a Razer V2 Controller for 60.00 so I have been using that and surprisingly enjoy it, but my question is are there any KontrolFreeks that fit the wider thumbstick? They say the Xbox 360/PS3 ones would fit but they are not in stock anywhere. Thanks again for the content!
AceShot thumbstick grips work on the wolverine controllers, you can find them on Amazon! Those, and older Xbox 360 KontrolFreeks fit wolverine thumbsticks
@@vCuda thank you man!
What about CQC? They're like short galaxies. And I also think cqc signature which are hybrid, concave and convex at the same time, are quite unique.
I actually use the "battle royale" ones that you flashed up as hot garbage. They were an accidental purchase, and I was pissed about it, because only a psychopath would use convex sticks. I resumed using my galaxy ones.
Eventually I caved and gave them a shot - turns out they're not bad! I like them for some more casual gaming (i.e. Skyrim).
But for intense FPS games, gotta stick to my "FPS Freek Havoc" ones. They're sized to a 360 controller so they fit the Razer Wolverine TE perfectly. Best sticks on the best controller
Oh and of course I only use them on the right stick
Convex sticks maintain contact with a thumbz better than concave. Much prefer them in some games.
I have the power a spectra infinity controller (the one you used to showcase the galaxys) and I bought the infernos for it, but when I put them on they just fall off when i put a bit of pressure on it. Any idea why this might be happening, because I assume they use the same dimensions as the galaxys but they seemed to fit fine on your spectra infinity..
Awesome video. Could you please make a video comparing the best wired controllers with the best wireless controllers?
I plan on making both of those as separate videos. The best wired controllers, and the best wireless controllers. And one day there will be a video talking about the totality of controllers, and which one is the best overall
@@vCuda wireless ftw
Great to know in case I ever buy a controller without extended sticks. Not saying I would do that, but always nice to have the option.
@vCuda you ever try the Setex thumbstick grips?
Vortex. You didn’t even THINK about mentioning the Vortex. I am disappointed lol. I started with the galaxies. Then went inferno. When I found the vortex tho…never bought another style again. MENTION THEM NEXT TIME!!!! 😃
I've blown probably a couple hundred bucks on kontrolfreeks over a couple console's lifetimes, and I can confidently say that infernos are the best for me. Infernos + high sense + linear curve + low/no deadzone = godmode. I sucked with controller for years after coming from m&k on pc, but when I figured out that combo I started to absolutely fry and consistently too. Highly recommend.
What's linear curve mean
@@baseddepartment1645 It's a response curve setting found under controller settings in some games. Games like Modern Warfare 2 , fornite, and Apex Legends have it. The default curves in those games are exponential, which means the movements you make with the stick start slow and ramp up speed after that. This allows easier fine aim adjustments while still being able to turn faster when you need it. But it makes building muscle memory tough because the the sensitivity changes as you move the stick. Linear curves don't get faster or accelerate. The sensitivity is consistent. It's like raw input on a mouse.
@@brian2.078 OK thanks that's what I thought it was because rainbow six has a dozen sensitivity acceleration type settings
the omni kontrolfreeks both started to tare after a couple months n the inferno kontrollfreek the tall one cuz of the design started to cut thru the ruber same time around the omni cuz i bought them at the same time then the galaxy low rise the whole rubber bit came off after a few months off play also so idk which one i should buy again cuz they all broke in the end
Unpopular opinion the high rise orange vortex kf is the best for the right stick.
kontrolfreeks battle royal for right stick and iconx for left stick is my favorite
Infernos are my Jam.
my purple galaxy ones that have lasted 6 mth before the rubber part came away
I still have my inferno from forever ago. I unfortunately lost the one I had for black ops 1
How's the scuf instinct pro holding up?
i’ve been using the galaxy freeks for years and in fact just ordered 2 more pairs of the limited edition all black galaxy freeks a few weeks ago.
I have purple galaxy but my sweaty hands make them slippery. They seem more prone to this than other kontrol freeks I own.
@@bonanzabrandon6877 the purple ones i literally used them till i couldn’t like they had no grip and the purple part came off of the white base and i had to glue it back lmao 😭😭
@@SnowyIceCream bought the purple ones and just coat sprayed them to black since I couldn’t find the limited edition all black ones😂😂
@@elijnr a bit late but if u want a new pair they’re on Amazon rn
Aye new to the channel love the vids man but would u be able to test the 8bitdo ultimate controller for Xbox
ive owned about a dozen different kontrolfreeks but i think the modern warfare is the grippiest of them all
Yo Cuda which one would you recommend wolverine ultimate or te
Bro what it your top 3 favourite controllers I’ve been meaning to ask you this, give them in order please
BROOO WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THE NEW ELITE SERIES 2 CORE
Are you going to review the ps5 dualsense edge controller when it comes out?
Yessir!
High rise sticks does give better control at long range however your short range will suffer. I've been playing with high rise for years and honestly I prefer no kf. It's too inconsistent with high rise however I cannot say anything about mid or low because i have not tried them. I do intend to try for a extended period of time
Have your thoughts changed?
i feek the same way gang
I got the apex ones today its my first ever kontrol freaks and i love them even though i main keyboard i also play controller and i never hear of the apex ones even though the grip is amazing
I use cold war, by far my favorite
Would you recommend the rainbow six siege black ice ones?
Anyone try skull and Co thumb grips? I had galaxy for 4 months and it now gets slippery if my thumb gets sweaty. I notice the bumps on it are wearing down
I've used Ultras, CQCs (the green ones), Vortex low-rise, Phantoms, Classics, and Infernos, all of them for Call of Duty games (I was a sweaty nerd that competed in esports on that game), and none of them ever wore out on me. Out of all those, loved the Classics, Vortex low-rise, Ultras, and Infernos - they made my hand more comfortable and I was noticeably more accurate at long range after I got used to them, particularly with the high-rise sticks.
Which one would you say gave you the best accuracy if you had to pick one?
@@ozzierobles2417 yeah, what he said
The ultras are better than the galaxies
Galaxy Kontrol Freeks are my go to
I prefer a domed stick for aiming, so if I buy some they it will have to be domed.
That’s why I brought two packs of power A fps just to get the done ones. It’s sad I have them only on my Ps5. Which they made them for my elite 2 controller.
Hi thanks, which is better the SparkFox Pro-Hex (hexagon shaped) of the Skull & Co. 6 piece analog stick grips?
God bless.
For warzone are better the galaxy or inferno?
my favorite kontrollFreaks are the black fortnite ones
I only play with vortex... Now on my 2nd pair
will you review the gyro aim aspect of ds4/nintendo pro controller
Galaxy is my favorite
I tried using all these controller stick accessories.. foam rings, thumb caps etc... but they didn't seem to do anything. Also, I'm a filthy casual. I play different games and I just got tired of having to remove all the items every time I switch games. I just bough some ribbed (for my pleasure) thumbstick caps for my PowerA Pro 2 controller and I'm fine..
I believe I have galaxys. They're good.
Is there any Mixed , low and mid?
Can you review the hex pro thumb grips
use the edge kontrol freeks
Can you do a review on the battle royals
I’ve used inferno high for Xbox series s don’t regret never tried galaxy or never gonna if they break I am gonna get the same inferno why? Well I am fortnite pro player with level 85 and I need accuracy a lot and highs sticks are the best and for me the inferno design the best so yeah inferno kontrol freek for me rest of the life
i use a razer wolverine so id needem gg
My cat is just like that though 😂
Bro I tested plenty the purple galaxy high rise and low rise are perfect keep my thumbs stable but also let’s glide across them smoothly the infernos I have are too flat and they suck the white galaxy still perfect and I have the cod 3 they great but for ppl w bigger thumbs
Can you review the bionic Vulkan plz
Destiny 2 are the best design ever. It’s 3D shape is a great comfort.
can you look into the new Xbox series pro controller for 129
does anyone know if kontrolfreeks will benefit a lower sensitivity? i play on 4-3 linear for apex but apparently i’ve heard that kf works best with higher sens
You will most likely need to higher your sensitivity I don’t see it being very helpful because low sensitivity is forgiving
Typically, KF are more beneficial with higher sensitivity. It takes time to get use to, but you will see a drastic difference. I remember when i had my first KF years ago, i use to play on a 5-6 sens. It was pretty manageable, but not really at the same time. When i bumped it up to like a 9-10, it made a HUGE difference in my gameplay.
Ali-A had the best KF
New vid🔥
I prefer dome
Have anyone tried the pro hex thumb sticks
The ds4 and ds5, are they plug and play on PC?
On some Games, yes, but most require the use of the DS4 program to function
MW3,
MW2
,Vanguard, cold war
Limited edition saints row
Omni in 4 different colors.
CQC
Black Galaxy's
The clear Galaxy's.
My favorite out of all of them. I can't pick cause. I play racing games and shooting games. But for racing games I use a combination of omni and the CQC
For my first person shooter games I like Call Of duty cold war. And I sort of like the Vanguard. But the colors are kind of limited to certain controllers I got.
But The modern word for 2 or perfect on my Chrome green elite controller. Look good and they actually perform well. They're more flat, not like the cold war which are dished a little bit. I was debating on buying the new MW3 ONES I've bought and married. Many, many pairs bit's spent probably 5. Probably five hundred I'm just thumb stick extensions, LO. L. They do help a little bit, but as they look cool and work. I'm cool with it better that way. That's why I think the omnies are the most useful on all games. Because they come 4 DIFFERENT colors.
And Galaxy crystal looks really good and work really good, so is the black condition.
I hate using those makes me think my controller is a honda civic
PS5 pro controller expectations?
I basically only watch your videos regarding comedy factor... But I have 1 question... The best freeks for a razer controller? I play with the wolverine ultimate. Thanks in advance
Nevermind... Found your other video. Anyway, I'm screwed I guess 😂
Vanguards are op
For me mid rise is too low and high rise too high, need something in between.
Noti gang
I only use Infernos but I wish they came in different colors because they make all my controllers color schemes look like dogsh*t!
