Ever since I got the Dreamcast at launch I was forever trying to find/make a thumb grip for the analog stick as my finger would easily slide of which would effect my accuracy within games. This was a common issue amoungst my friends aswell.

A few years ago I bought these thumb grips from Ebay which are designed for other systems. They fit perfectly onto the analog stick of the Dreamcast and dramatically improve the performance of the analog stick. You can now confidently move the analog stick with precision without the effort of trying to prevent your finger from slipping. I have them on all 4 of my controllers and they are yet to show any signs of wear.

In my opinion these are a must have for all Dreamcast owners

At £1.94 (free p&p) for a pair you have nothing to lose.




got this tip from someone (all credit to goes him) over at DCS/DCT. my caps arrived today & they made my analog stick at least 50% more accurate. its the only thing the dc pad missed from the start

Nice idea I might have to order some, I always suffer from slippage during the winter months, as my hands are always cold Razz

i ordered a set of those a while back. they work pretty good, having the rubber is nice. Sega should of at least made the thumb grip concave, it does slip easier than other analog sticks. Neutral

Yeah, how the stick spins from side to side slightly doesn't help the slippage either..

I've personally never had a problem with the dreamcast's analog stick...
