GelTabz Announces Performance Thumb Grips -- Posted by XanTium on November 16 23:36 EST
From teamxbox.com:
[QUOTE]
GelTabz, Inc. is pleased to announce its performance thumb grips for Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, and the upcoming Xbox 360. Made specifically to fit each console's controller, GelTabz promises ultimate control and comfort for serious console gamers.

Xbox-Scene

"After countless marathon gaming sessions, we realized that the analog sticks found on videogame controllers need to be improved," said Jason Bailey, CEO of GelTabz. "Any hardcore gamer will tell you the analog sticks are difficult to keep a grip on during intense battles, especially when sweat builds up, and definitely could be more comfortable. We created a product that specifically addresses these issues. Plus it is fun to customize your controller - GelTabz makes it look a lot cooler."

Yeah, we all know the controllers feels like a wet bar of soap after 10 minutes of play. Come on...

This is almost as ridducules as the "Steel Gaming Glove", definatly in the same category.

Honestly, i think this is useful. Not for the reasons they gave, but I've had my Xbox for a year and a half, and the rubber on my left thumbstick is starting to completely tear off. If I could use these as a replacement grip that'd be very nice.

Oddly enough I've been waiting for something like this. Logitechs older wireless controller used a 'cap' over a plastic thumbstick that would wearout and rip off. Finally i can use my most expensive controller again.

Too bad shipping costs more then the tabz.

I can see using these on ps2, my fingers allways slide around ontop of the "dome" like sticks. but not xbox, the thumbsticks on the s and the 360 are perfect.

These could come in handy though they look stupid.
condoms for a controller was exactly what i was thinking aswell.

Geltabz pfffft, might come in handy one day.

The should make the low profile instead of these big white and bright green colours. just stick to black.
