There is a company that makes these little things that stick onto the top of your analog stick. It looks like it could help a little bit.

They look like they would help with accuracy to, with the extended length the analog stick has a larger turning circle.

I have seen those before used at COD tournaments, som guys use them , some guys dont, it lets you have more room to decide what percentage of direction you want to move. its like making a 90degree wheel a 900 degree wheel.

I've seen 'em before too. I can see why they're useful but they gotta feel odd though.

Those look...completely ridiculous! It reminds me of those glasses they claim make you better at first person shooters.

You mean the Gunnar glasses? Those are the ones with polarized lenses so that you don't see any glare on the screen right?

Gunnar's are very useful, they reduce eye strain from looking at any screens.

I wouldnt say it has a larger turning circle, the added length should give more precision when in between the neutral stick position and the outer rim of the base.

Id imagine it would help in FPS but not so much in racing.

I have the extentions and absolutely love them. I'm also a 6'4" sasquatch though so my hands fit over them very easily. Now if I take them off the sticks seem so tiny....might aswell just use the directional buttons.
