Quick verdict
The exact B016P09VFS FPS Freek Galaxy package contains two purple-on-silver concave snap-on caps for standard PS5 and PS4 controllers. The current Amazon listing identifies one 10.0-millimeter high-rise cap intended for the right analog stick and one 6.5-millimeter mid-rise cap for the left. KontrolFreek describes a laser-etched Galaxy surface and proprietary rubber for added grip, but GadgetVetted did not measure aim or comfort changes. On 2026-08-08, Amazon US showed the exact purple PlayStation ASIN in stock at $16.99 with Add to Cart and Buy Now controls, 4.6 stars from 29,398 ratings and 3K+ purchases in the past month; no separate verified list price or discount was shown. GadgetVetted first found the product through the discovery query “controller accessories” in Carter2k’s English “The 7 BEST Controller Accessories For Gaming! (Under $20!)” video. The 4:46 standard video had 128,565 views and 2,074 likes on a verified 400,000-subscriber channel. Its 1:39 chapter demonstrates KontrolFreek thumb grips, and the description’s dedicated PS4/PS5 link resolves directly to B016P09VFS. The purple mixed-height caps and package match the current PlayStation Galaxy variant, while the separately linked Xbox version was excluded. Google Trends Explore set to United States and Google Shopping returned no data for the exact three-product comparison over 30 days. Over 90 days the Galaxy query averaged 0, so no Shopping demand figure was invented; the exceptionally deep rating history, 3K+ recent purchases and live stock became the selection fallback. Research method: video-first desk research using the creator’s exact platform link, current Amazon page, KontrolFreek product information and Google Shopping comparison, not hands-on performance testing.

Research methodology
This article is based on desk research rather than hands-on physical testing. We compare the manufacturer's published specifications and documentation, listed features, pricing, and comparable products in the same category. Where a claim cannot be verified from the manufacturer or the product listing, we leave it out. Specifications and prices can change over time; always confirm the current details on the retailer's page before buying.
Main advantages
- The mixed heights separate fine right-stick aiming from lower left-stick movement instead of forcing one profile on both controls
- The current exact purple PlayStation variant supports both standard PS5 and PS4 controllers and installs without tools
- Amazon showed stock, active purchase controls, 4.6 stars from 29,398 ratings and 3K+ recent purchases at $16.99
Main limitations
- The added height changes stick leverage and feel, so players may need an adjustment period and may not prefer it in every game genre
- This PlayStation fit is not the same child product as the separately sold Xbox or Switch Pro variants

Frequently asked questions
Which exact FPS Freek Galaxy version is reviewed?
Amazon ASIN B016P09VFS is the purple Galaxy pair for standard PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 controllers. It is not the Xbox or Switch Pro child variant.
Are both thumbsticks the same height?
No. The exact listing describes one concave high-rise stick adding 10.0 mm and one concave mid-rise stick adding 6.5 mm.
Do the Galaxy caps need software or tools?
No. They are passive snap-on controller caps. Fit should be checked before installation, particularly for non-standard or third-party controllers.
How was the video-product match verified?
Carter2k labels the 1:39 chapter “KontrolFreek Thumb Grips” and provides a separate PS4/PS5 link. That link resolves to B016P09VFS, and the demonstrated purple mixed-height Galaxy design matches the exact Amazon package and KontrolFreek imagery.
Did GadgetVetted measure aim improvement?
No. GadgetVetted verified the exact video link, current Amazon signals and manufacturer description. Any aim, precision or comfort benefit remains a manufacturer or user-experience claim, not a GadgetVetted measurement.
