Summary: Two thumb(stick)s up for these awesome grips!
Comment: I was hesitant to buy these after seeing reviews mentioning "riding up", "comes right off", and needing "permanent superglue" (yikes!), but I am really glad I gave them a try. Simply put, these things are great! I've had them on my 360 controllers for 2 weeks now, and I will never go back to the stock 360 thumbsticks. I haven't tried them on PS3 controllers yet, so my review is primarily for Xbox 360 use.

Installation: This was a breeze. Invert, place on top of the regular thumbstick, then flip the sides down.

Fit: VERY snug fit on my official 360 controllers. They never move during play (and no, I didn't use any superglue!) In fact, I just tried wildly flailing the sticks around and they still didn't move at all. I don't know why others had trouble - I'm curious whether they used aftermarket controllers, or maybe pulled off the original stick coverings before putting these on.

Control/feel: Very comfortable and provides excellent control; precise movements seem easier to make. Each grip has a slightly raised surface with 16 tiny bumps for texture and friction. Also reduces concavity and covers up those 4 big uncomfortable bumps on the 360 sticks (I think those bumps are supposed to be for grip, but they just irritate the skin on my thumbs when I play.)

Overall: A hearty two thumb(stick)s up! Will it double your K/D ratio? Probably not, but for $5 you can hardly go wrong!

Pros:
+ Pleasing to the touch and comfortable to use
+ Gel material provides excellent control for precise movements
+ Fast & easy installation
+ Very snug fit on 360 thumbsticks
+ Reduces concavity and covers the uncomfortable bumps on stock 360 sticks
+ Package includes 2 (black) universal grips for Xbox/Playstation, plus 1 (blue) for the Wii nunchuck
+ Low price

Cons:
- Seems to pick up grease from fingers easier than the stock thumbsticks, so keep them clean! (Maybe this is why some found them slippery?)
- Clicking in the sticks takes a bit more effort because of the extra gel material

Summary: works great, when they stay on
Comment: The gel material is really comfortable. The only problem is during heavy action when they come right off the thumb sticks. I guess you could glue them on to alleviate the problem, but I would think this would have been addressed during development. I'd love to use them, but stopping for a half second during a heated hockey game or MW2 match to remove the curled up gel tab is not acceptable. They're currently collecting dust.
