How to Install GeekShare Inverted Kitty Thumb Grips

Quick answer

To install GeekShare Inverted Kitty Thumb Grips, simply align the grip cap with your Joy-Con or Pro Controller joystick and press down evenly until it snaps into place. The whole process takes less than a minute.

Step-by-step installation guide

1. Clean the joystick surface: Wipe the joystick with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust, oil, or residue. A clean surface helps the grip cap stay in place without slipping. Skipping this step can cause the cap to feel loose or rotate during play.
2. Align the grip cap correctly: Hold the GeekShare Inverted Kitty Thumb Grip cap so the kitty face is oriented the way you want (it does not affect function). Center the cap over the joystick, ensuring the inner rim sits evenly around the stick's base. If the cap looks crooked, remove it and realign before pressing down.
3. Press down firmly and evenly: Use your thumb to press the center of the cap straight down until you hear or feel a soft click. Apply even pressure around the edges to seat the silicone fully onto the joystick. Do not rock the cap side to side while pressing — this can stretch the silicone and cause a poor fit.
4. Test the movement and security: Gently tilt the joystick in all directions. The cap should move with the stick without shifting or lifting. If it feels loose, remove and reinstall, ensuring the cap is fully seated. A correctly installed cap will not spin freely on the joystick.
