Frequently asked questions
Do aim rings actually work?
They change how the stick feels, not how good your aim is. The ring adds resistance around the base of the stick, so at high sensitivity small corrections overshoot less. Think of it as more control, not extra aim.
Are aim rings worth it?
If your aim often runs past the target, yes. You get 6 rings in 3 hardnesses (Easy, Soft and Hard) for €8.95, which makes them one of the cheapest upgrades for your controller, and you can find out which hardness suits you.
Do they fit the Switch Pro Controller and Joy-Con?
Yes. One pack covers your Switch controllers as well as PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One controllers.
Can precision rings stop stick drift?
No, not on any controller. Whether it is a DualSense, an Xbox controller or a Joy-Con, drift is caused by wear inside the controller, and only a repair solves that. With very mild drift, the resistance can make the stick feel calmer around the centre. Read more in do precision rings prevent stick drift?
Which hardness should I choose?
Start with Easy. Play a few sessions with it, then try Soft. Most players stay on Soft. Hard is meant for sniping at high sensitivity.

Do precision rings affect aim assist?
No. Aim assist is built into the game, not the controller. The ring only adds physical resistance and does not change the input the stick sends, so aim assist works exactly as before.
Do they also fit a PS4 or Xbox One controller?
Yes, both the DualShock 4 and the Xbox One controller. That is exactly what the universal version is for.
Can I use a different hardness on each controller?
Yes. You get two rings of each hardness, so up to three controllers can each have their own. Not sure where to start? Easy first, then Soft. Hard is for sniping at high sensitivity.
What is the difference with the PS5 and Xbox Precision Rings?
None in the rings themselves. This pack is for homes with more than one console, or for players who use a Switch controller as well. Playing on a single console? Then the PS5 or Xbox page fits you better.
Will the rings slow down fast flicks?
No. Quick flicks still work. Small movements stay smooth, and the further you push, the more the ring pushes back, so the stick overshoots less.
Can precision rings damage the thumbstick?
No. The ring is made of soft foam that compresses as you push the stick, so it does not damage the stick or the controller in normal use. You slide it on and off by hand.
