Rubber padding and grip material helped the controller stay planted on laps or desks during play.
Pros: ease of setup, build quality
Cons: trigger stop effectiveness, compatibility with Xbox
Grip texture was one of the strongest consensus positives thanks to rubberized, tacky, non-slip surfaces.

Grip texture is a repeated strength: reviewers note textured or stippled plastic that improves hold without relying on rubber.
