Two thumb(stick)s up for these awesome grips!,

I was hesitant to buy these after seeing reviews mentioning "riding up", "comes right off", and needing "permanent superglue" (yikes!), but I am really glad I gave them a try. Simply put, these things are great! I've had them on my 360 controllers for 2 weeks now, and I will never go back to the stock 360 thumbsticks. I haven't tried them on PS3 controllers yet, so my review is primarily for Xbox 360 use.
Installation: This was a breeze. Invert, place on top of the regular thumbstick, then flip the sides down.
Fit: VERY snug fit on my official 360 controllers. They never move during play (and no, I didn't use any superglue!) In fact, I just tried wildly flailing the sticks around and they still didn't move at all. I don't know why others had trouble - I'm curious whether they used aftermarket controllers, or maybe pulled off the original stick coverings before putting these on.

Blue one works very well,

I bought a pack of these online elsewhere and it came with 3 grips, two black ones and a smaller blue one. The black ones are designed for the PS3 and 360 analog sticks while the blue is designed for the Wii Nunchuk (though all 3 can work on any analog stick I believe). The blue one is VERY good for the Nunchuk analog stick which only has one rib on it (unlike the ribbed GC analog stick). The blue Gel Tab has a lot of pronounced bumps which give it a good grip. The black ones are terrible. The bumps are fewer (despite being bigger) and not as raised. I actually found my thumbs slipping more than when I used the PS3 analog sticks without them. That pretty much defeats the purpose of them. I don't think they're necessary for the 360 controller since that has concave analog sticks. I haven't tried since the black ones on a Wii Nunchuk since the blue one is perfect for it.
I'd only recommend this if you really want a grip for your Wii Nunchuk.
