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 the Wii

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.

Maybe the mods can make this a sticky or even better - make it a news post on the home page. Im sure many people will benefit greatly from this.

its not like its gonna cost that much to ship to the usa, my set of 6 caps arrived today & they were sent in a simple envelope

@anonymouse: they are awesome, they really make the far stick more accurate, I'd say at least 50% (if not more). I'm gonna put your main post up in a few other places, I'll give you the credit off course
