How to Improve the Grip on a PS3 Controller

The PlayStation 3's DualShock SixAxis controller operates tilt and rotation on certain axis-enabled games. Additionally, the controller features a rumble function, delivering tactile feedback. Control relies upon using two analog thumbsticks. As a result, the need may develop to increase the grip on the controller. Multiple enterprising companies have identified and addressed this need, delivering products to increase grip on your PS3 controller.

Things You'll Need

Alcohol wipes
Thumbstick grip pads
PS3 silicone case

Instructions

- 1
  Clean the entire controller with the alcohol wipes. Allow a few seconds for the alcohol to evaporate on its own.
- 2
  Slip the silicone case over the controller. This will leave the analog sticks and buttons exposed. Insert one of the controller's legs into the matching insert on the cover. Pull it over the front of the controller, stretching the case over the front and opposite leg.
- 3
  Peel off the adhesive backing from the thumbstick grips. Wrap the grips around the sticks so the lip of the cover wraps around the back of the sticks. Press down on the middle of the stick to adhere the grip into place.
