Ultimate Gamer Gift Guide 2025: Top Picks for Every Console
This year has been excellent for First Person Shooter (FPS) fans, with several new and popular releases ensuring that competition is at an all-time high in the gaming world. Whether you want to dominate in public lobbies, survive till the end in a battle royale, or just maintain a high K/D, accuracy, precision, and control are going to be the skills you need to succeed. Fortunately, this holiday season, KontrolFreek has every tool you need to elevate your skills across the board, improve aim, and dominate any FPS game.
KontolFeek’s FPS Freek Inferno Performance Thumbsticks are the de facto must-have accessory for those who love FPS games and want to make sure they have the ultimate advantage when it comes to aim. The two high-rise thumbsticks allow for an increase in arc distance, providing more control and precision when aiming with your thumbstick. This added height will allow you to make smaller aiming adjustments regardless of your sensitivity settings and give you a leg up when lining up the perfect shot. Inferno Performance Thumbsticks have a concave shape coupled with the laser-etched design that provides maximum grip and surface area to prevent any slippage, which can happen with older or more worn-out controller analog thumbsticks.
FPS Freek Battle Royale Performance Thumbsticks are another additional recommendation I have for anyone looking to improve their aim and accuracy in-game. Made with battle royale victories in mind, these two high-rise thumbsticks are the perfect upgrade for your controller and provide ergonomic comfort for those longer gaming sessions. The convex design lessens the force needed to control your thumbsticks, easing the potential fatigue that comes from extended use to make sure you are sharp at all times. The height gained from the high-rise Battle Royale Thumbsticks grants you a larger range of motion, improving in-game movement and better control, even if you play at a higher sensitivity. A noticeable difference can be felt the moment the Battle Royale Performance Thumbsticks are equipped, and you will enjoy playing longer with more precision and accuracy.
Suppose you are looking for an accessory to boost your aim, precision, and control all at once. You are in luck because KontrolFreek now has the Aim Boost Kits that come with either Galaxy, Inferno, Frenzy, and more, including a set of Precision Rings. A pair of mixed height (mid-rise & high-rise) thumbsticks provides maximum versatility and control, with the high-rise increasing your range of motion and boosting accuracy. The Precision Rings, ranging from soft, medium, and hard, fit easily on any analog thumbstick without losing their shape or durability. These rings also play a major factor in preventing overcorrecting when making sharp movements with your thumbsticks and make it easier to play on higher sensitivities. Boosting your aiming speed while still maintaining control of your movements is the ultimate advantage for any gamer looking to get ahead this holiday season.
