What do you call those things

That you put on your controllers analog sticks to raise them, which help with aiming/control?

Got some for one of my pads, but can't remember for hte life of me what they are called to be able to get some more.

Thanks, that's them.

Can't seem to find any local on the bay

Buying from the US should be fine. The dude's feedback shows someone from the UK getting them in under a week.

Are they any good? Am considering some.

Dunno if these would work though.

Are these any good? They look a bit gimmicky to me although there are quite a few positive reviews on the site and their forum.

Not worth it really, you end up adding a lot of time to your button commands and generally the aim assists on console games are forgiving enough to not really require them.

I'd say wait for a Razer Onza if you have the time and money, the fpsfreeks haven't really helped anyone I know.

I personally find they help a bit. Curerntly playing Crysis, and have tried one controller with, and one without, and it does seem to make aiming jsut that little bit easier.

I just superglued some deep rubber grommets to the thumbsticks.

I've just ordered some, I'll let you know what they're like.

If you google FPS Freek the first UK site is the official UK stockist. I'll not link in case they're a competitor

UPDATE:
Played for about 2 hours with an FPS Freek on the right stick - there's definitely a learning curve, but I've been able to get the sensitivity on MW2 up from 7 to 9. They definitely help, it's just weird getting used to it.

R3 is still easy to use and you can reach the other buttons easily enough - the only one it really blocks is the PS button, but that's no biggy.
