KontrolFreeks: High-Rise VS Mid-Rise VS Low-Rise

I enjoy the little things in life, so in this video, I discuss the 3 height tiers of KontrolFreek. I MIGHT make a video discussing Concave VS Convex in the future, but I currently have far too many projects that are unfinished. Once I get all my planned videos out of the way, I'll definitely be doing some more KontrolFreek content!

@@vCuda hey buddy! Love your content and appreciate your good work. So first you got me using my elite 2 controller high stick, 👍 though the controller it's self is the most fucking unreliable pos ever, I swear bestbuy is running out because the last 3 have all had stick drift within the 30 day return policy and I keep looking for that unique unicorn that lasts a minute, ANYWAYS I need some advice. I want to buy some kontrolfreeks. I want the rings but I would also like a stick. I was thinking high rise on my normal elite stick with the ring so the rings don't slide up or the high elite stick with more rings underneath so again they don't rise. Which is the better option as I have never seen either in person so I don't know how many rings I would need for a high elite stick and would a high stick with a low rise freek give me the best option? Not to high but nice and wide? I notice a lot of the high rise freaks look like shit or have shit designs. I'd like a elite high stick with that black low rise freak you said was comfy but will 2 or 3 disks actually fit well under the elite tall stick without either still sliding up or popping my stick off the controller.

Keep grinding bro , love yo videos 😂 I use the high rise ghost for the left & Low rise purple on my right
Always helping out the gaming community, thanks I appreciate your work.
Great vid as always brother !
Low rises exist for elite xbox controller users wanting just an little extra extension and wider grip on the one extended joystick in the set the control comes with.
This channel is going to grow a lot in the next few weeks
Let’s goooooo, vcuda upload
Bro this video was funny and helpful af bro keep it up
Great video as always 👍🏽
I have VERY bad nerve damage in my left hand (From a broken neck) and my left thumb does not work very well, the only way i can still play is by using the Kontrol Freaks High rise and it allows me to use more of my hand instead of just my thumb, it is weird to explain but i LOVE them. The one i am using is the green MW-2 Performance thumb sticks and they saved what little gaming i am able to do for a while.
Holy shit this content creator. Totally deticated to controllers. Underrated. You VCuda are going places. Big fan

I just bought the alphas a few days ago (low rise) and they’re awesome. I don’t like the taller thumb sticks and the alphas feel like I’m on an Xbox 360 again which I love
this is like if erik andre had a gaming peripheral review show. subbing. lol
Solid A- video per usual ❤️
Great review my guy
Love the vids!
They really should make some more LowRise sets so that we have more variety to choose from instead of only having a choice out of Alpha and Omni. Personally I want to see a LowRise version of the FPSFreek Inferno thumbstick get made that is for PS4/5 and XBox One/Series X (the Turbo set they released a few years ago is the closest one to it, but was only for Switch JoyCons).

Love the non copy right version of jump by van halen at the beginning of the mid rise section 😂
Convex sticks allow you to roll your finger on the stick and make it easier for some people to aim at long range.
Keep up the good work man.
I use the mid rise vortex on the left stick on my PowerA just cuz it feels better, the high rise domed one I feel is just more comforting for larger hands for aiming

good video as always, homie
Love the content you put out. Always honest and straight forward, any plans on reviewing the turtle beach recon controller?
The ps4 control has a hybrid tumstick design and that's one of the cons of the controller. It gets slippery. The tire tread on the Xbox is far better with it's grip but honestly the Nintendo switch pro controller feels the best for me because it's flat but has a ton of grip.
I don't like the extra effort to click buttons when using high-rise sticks. Not to mention my hands get more fatigued after long play sessions compared to the others. Mid and low rise are the best way to go for me personally.
I have a pair of Kontrol Freek Ultras that I’m using on my Dualsense. It’s a shame they’re discontinued, I preferred the restrained design.
Their low rise are dope, been using them for a while as thumb stick grips since they’re like the best grips I’ve found
ngl i really like watching your videos even tho i know mostly everything abt these kontrol freeks lmao
Low rise are actually pretty good for small hands people lol. Plus the omis have the best grip hands down for the left stick.
I made my own out of wood and super glued them onto my sticks. I wish I could post a picture, they look sweet.

For me, I've got clam hands. So if the convex tipped sticks are made of not-so-grippy material, they become unusable for me. Despite being easier on the fingers when playing for long hours. For example, PlayStation 1 and 2 controllers. I always had difficulty using them as soon as my hands started sweating 😂.

I love the „FPS ultra” high-rise concave on my aiming stick, feels like a cursor (or something just feels right about them). Left stick any lows or mids will do (prefer convex). Only downside is the KF material can make the fingers feel sweaty a bit.

@@emwu1988holy shit no way I ordered the same setup! Got the limited edition black galaxy too, I def prefer concave for aiming on the right stick. Convex /hybrid on the left seems to be helping my movement as well, and the mid-rise makes the difference between the two stick heights not feel as jarring
Mouse and key user but i find your videos pretty damn entertaining so I binge them.
I have some mid and high rise. High rise, is just uncomfortable as all hell. And feels like its going to ruin your thumb if you play alot. Mid rise is just right. It takes some getting used to as you're moving your thumb differently than normal. And your body isnt used to it. But it does make a signifigant difference on accuracy. And the wideness and grip of it, is great. I do recommend the mid rise. I buy the galaxies and only use the mid rise on the right stick. Cause for grip and feel. Its the most popular they make, and for good reason. They really do enhance your game in fps games with some practice. They also usually only come in purple and white...bleh. But they have some limited edition black ones right now. I ordered 2. Cause Iv been using them for quite some time. And havent worn any out yet. Pro tip. If they're getting slippery. Get yourself some dawn and a gentle pipe cleaner. And clean all the oil and finger gunk off of them. And they'll feel even gripper and better than if they were new. Cheers!
my favorite KFs ever were the green CQCs. Just always found myself just playing my best with em on shooters & such. Sucks I can’t buy a new pair bc they don’t sell em anymore on the site
Great video!!!!
PS5 here and most those controllers can’t help me but I thoroughly enjoy your videos and find them entertaining af! I love control freaks. I actually need to buy new ones for my PS5 haha Keep it up look forward to your videos each and every time man!
I still have my KF from my xbox 360 days. Midrise hits different It's gone through two Console life cycles ( x360 & PS4 ), about 12+ controllers & now with me on my current XB1 Controller & PC Also I'd love to know your opinion on Aim Assist on PC?
You should make a video on the turtle beach recon controller, it's 60 dollars and has features I haven't seen on any controller.
perfect height for me is a low rise on the elite 2 tall stick. Just slightly taller than a regular stick with a high rise on it.
Been using galaxy kontrol freaks for 3 years but my favorite ones that I owned were the heritage edition ones
Galaxy KontrolFreeks are by far my favorite that I have used.

Agreed.. I went a bit nuts on these dumb sticks, and now have 3 sets.. why? bored out of my mind and too much time I guess? I have galaxy, fps something something and the MW ADS ones.. and the MW ones are my favorite.. why? The rubber is really sticky and the domed design works really nice for keeping your thumb in it's place. Mid rise galaxy are also good, especially for the fatty as fuck PS5 controller.
Hello, i saw in one of your videos that you have Thrustmaster swap controller . Can you make a review on it ? Great content btw.
Low rise feels the best for me, the extra grip and wider cap helps me aim in close range. Because it’s not as tall you get less leverage which keeps your stick tension higher. So I’m my opinion low rise is the best all round
I love this guy
i legit cannot play without the mid rise
Just got COD Cold War KontrolFreek, using on my Series X controller and i love it, playing zombies now i can survive much longer solo haha
i find the convex mid-rise to be best for me. They just feel more accurate
Make a video on the turtle beach recon controller, I need to hear your opinion!!
this video just told me that mid rise sticks are the most balanced out ones so thanks I guess
i like high rise galaxy/vortex, but very uncomfortable since im only 5:4, small hands
I feel like the low rise thumb sticks help when using lotta melee in halo infinite, basically really cqc I can hit odd angles very quickly and can only do that with the lows
Just a quick question here you said mid feels the best but high gives best Accuracy so jw how the high rise gives the better accuracy because I don’t get it and am interested in getting some
The best low ones are Striker, which I think aren't produced anymore. slightly concaved and REALLY GRIPPY. Grippiest ones by far and I've felt them all. My Omni's are still kinda slippery, I don't trust em!
What do you think of the cqc signature kontrol freaks? they're the green ones, they're like a hybrid of concave and convex.
Is there a video to show the gaming controller tall sticks compared to kontrol freek high stick comparison?
Best tech guy ever
The shit that drives me up the wall is....KF will make some BANGER sets and then stop selling them after a few years. I LOVED my Alphas, but I wore them out fast, but by the time I got around to finding another set, they were anywhere from $30-$50.
thanks fam!
Just got some, they're cool and all, but the high rise is kinda hard to reach when you have baby hands
We’re you able to get any flush on the Eswap pro x sticks? My Xbox kontrol freeks don’t fit all the way and just bite into the sides of the stick. If so, would you mind sharing which model? Enjoy the vids, thanks for your help!
Spectra vs Fusion comparison plzzz contemplating on getting just for the rgb lol. Had the fusion for a good 7 months and it’s fantastic want to see if it’s the same quality I just really like the buttons I hate the paddles don’t use them but the little buttons I would be excited for
I really loved my elite long boy sticks but I ordered some high rise thinking they would be the same I'm now sad I found out they're mid rise
also is it just my Gorilla hands that mean all my elite 2 stick tips now freely rotate? gonna have to shove some glue in there :(((
You are great keep it up
i have the juggernog kontrol freeks and i mainly use them because the xbox thumb stick isn’t wide enough for me😭
Hey cuda I see you have the azeron compact, I was thinking of getting one but since its so close to September im going to get the cyborg. I just wanted to get your opinion of it before buying.
Convex are the best ones IMO. much better accuracy for small adjustments and you play with you thumb straighter instead of all cramped up above the thumbstick. With that said DISLIKE UNSUBSCRIBE REPORT FOR HARASSMENT
Extremely informative but what is up with that stash bro ??
i use to use the high rise but switched to the tall stick on the elitev2 xbox controller wich is like between high and mid but control freaks are nice i just hate some of them get slippery really easily, id go with the black and orange he has on his desk at 1:53
2024 - well done 👏🏾 Great content
I've been using the galaxy grips for like 5 months and the mid rise rubber is coming off the plastic
if you're using xbox series x|s controller high rise will be good for you because series x|s controller is smaller than the old gen xbox one controller. it sort of balances it out and makes your thumbs fit nicely in place on the sticks
the green one is lit
Hi thanks, what's the star convex one you don't like coz' it stabs at the fingertips? They are way too expensive for the things they do and material but I guess it's better than nothing or replaying missions too many times (wasting a lot expensive, limited time). God bless.
I’ve tried high mid and low I can’t get use to the longer movement of the high the mids are decent but I use the low mostly as they still add a little height they’re comfortable and tacky
I have small hands and i got the high mid risers and honestly the mid rise might just be the best for me
LowRise are for those that play various games and not just FPS games.
Are you gonna do a review on the new Turtle Beach controller?
i am new to controller i have some hard times getting good aim with them. can you make tips on how to use controller for dummy m&k people?
For the love of god I cannot find a video about matching sensitivity on different games for controllers. All I see it sensitivity programs for m&k. I would love if you made a video if it’s possible.
