Yup, the biggest sales period of the year is officially over, and eyes are now firmly planted on the holiday and Christmas – and gifting of course.
Luckily, there’s still plenty of opportunity to pick up something excellent that’ll make a great festive gift for the gamer in your life, or just for yourself. You’ve earned it.
One of the most affordable things in gaming that I really love are KontrolFreek thumbsticks and grips. These simple PS5 and Xbox controller accessories have transformed the way I game on console and I can’t imagine interacting with a controller any other way anymore; the grips are brilliant for extra comfort and stability (and, well, grip if you need more like I do for accessibility), and the thumbsticks really do elevate how you use the sticks from movement to attacks and aiming.
I’ve listed out options for both PS5 and Xbox below, and highlights include the performance grips for PS5, which are just $10.99 at Amazon (was $14.99), and the KontrolFreek Aim Boost Kit for PlayStation for just $17.49 (was $21.99) at Amazon in the US.
If you’re in the UK, fear not, as there are loads of discounts there too: you can nab the KontrolFreek Clutch thumbsticks for PS5 for just £9.99 at Amazon which I can personally recommend), or go for something like the all-round PlayStation Omni set for only £10.44 (was £16.99) at Amazon.
There’s a bunch on offer, so there should be something for everyone across PS5 and Xbox below.
