Reddit reviews Circle Pad Cover - Nintendo (3DS LL/3DS) Black Accessory Japan Inport

There is always the Circle Pad Cover.

I think I can do that for ya, honestly. I also have, for the left joystick, little caps that make grip better if that interests you too. Maybe private message me I suppose, get this goin!

Edit: and no purchasing, they're so silly cheap, I got it n the postage etc..

Edit 2: This is the left joystick cover, could hook you up with one of those. I honestly love it. Long gaming sessions are perfect for this seemingly simple and pointless lil' grip.

Edit 3: And this is the c-stick replacement. Someone else linked it above as well, but yeah, the psp-1,000 joystick or whatever. Works really great.

Edit 4: Since I'm really gettin down on all this N3DS speak, I'd like to share this as well. My goodness, it makes gaming 1,000x better. Since the grips are not directly under the 3DS, and they are almost basically on the sides, it makes it feel like a legit, comfortable ass videogame controller! (In the vein of an Xbox or PS4 controller) With how I said the grips are on the sides, it makes it not feel so damn cramped like some of the other N3DS grips can. It's seriously so, SO worth the $15 bucks.

Bought these a year ago and they fit fine, I don't use PAL but it should not be different. Strange.

Edit: I got this one, actually https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C1XYUY6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_IhqNxbEG6K1T7

Works fine, I hated the concave thumb stick, works perfectly for my n3ds

They do, and you can get them for under $2

this is the sort of cover I was speaking of.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002E0B2BK

this kind of grip tape.

A few different products like these exist, where you place them over the circle pad. You have to be careful to remove it with each use and to not close the system with them on.
You could also completely open up the system and replace the pad with one of your choosing, like this.

Be cautious of using anything sticky, like bandaids or circles of velcro. Some adhesives leave icky residue that's hard to safely remove.

There's really no perfectly safe or easy solution other than pausing your battle and wiping your hand off a lot. :/

Hori clear case & screen protectors.
I also use this circle pad cover, it adds more grip to the circle pad.

The circle pad cover is from this set: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C1XYUY6/

I have these thumb grips and the gamecube style one is perfect for the 2ds and gives great grip, no complaints (I have used it on the 2ds for a while).

Here, try these

Protip: buy actual circle pad covers.

Before they were on amazon, I imported these and am still on my first cover.

I even have a second cover on my CPP for when I'm wanting to MonHun on the go.

A ton of grip options + several backups if any are lost/wear away for 8 dollarydoos- I'm still weirded out these aren't a more talked-about/mainstream thing 'round these parts.

Good luck OP!

I ordered it from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C1XYUY6/

I ended up caving and buying a set of thumb thingies.

If these don't work out, I know what to try next! Thanks, man!

I got nothing for your hand cramps unfortunately, but even before smash I personally found the 3DS circle pad a bit too slippery for my taste. I grabbed some circle pad covers on amazon, and they've been working great:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C1XYUY6?cache=0061feed30983d095ab69c6adb6201f0&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1411248560&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

One's even got the same pattern as the GameCube stick =)

I think it's one of those analog slide pad attachments from Cyber Gadget but I'm not actually sure.

I bought this one - Works great, very comfortable

There are more as well.

They have grip pads for the circle pad too

That sucks. Sorry it hurts your hands.

Also, Check out these Circle Pads for the 3DS. They might help with traction.

http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6

These ones?

These seems to be a good fix actually.

I'm sure you could affix it with some tape or glue dots or something.

I got the grip, but the grip wasn't the only issue for me, I also got [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413385288&sr=8-1&keywords=circle+pad+cover) I shoul be getting them before the endof the week I hope it's gonna help.

I have issues keeping the circle centered without it slipping a tiny bit and making me lose the tilt or smash or dash attack I wanted to make. Hopefully it's gonna help.

You could try these.

I don't have them but I have hear good things and you don't need to modify anything. It sounds like what you're after.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C1XYUY6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm pretty sure you can buy just the cover, but I've never seen the original ones going around.

I bought these a while ago for my XL to protect the rubber. They work well and have good grips, but sometimes fall off which is how i lost my first one. The second one I chose seems to hold up better since it hasn't fallen off after intense ssb.

http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6 You want these, trust me. They give me a sense of safety while I play, like my circle pad isn't going to get damaged, and the give you a better grip at the same time. Takes a little bit of force to get on and off at first, though.

I'm thinking of investing in a set of these (or something similar):

http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6

You can get 6 of them for $7 on Amazon

To be clear, you are getting the New 3DS XL?

As far as games go, either ORAS or Pokemon X/Y are good options. You might also like Legend of Zelda: A Link between Worlds. It's an adventure RPG, but it's top down style like old Zelda games and pokemon games. Fantasy Life is also a good choice.

As far as 3DS XL accessories, I recommend these. They come in a few different colors too. Also, this grip is a life saver. My hands tend to cramp up when holding the 3DS XL, but this grip eliminates that problem.

As for just generally good games, Mario Kart 7 is good, Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I'm not as well versed in DS games.

They make some of those specifically for the 3DS. Why not just use one of those?

Or get this if you have play like a primate

I've already damaged my 3DS XL analog stick to the point where it is almost unusable. The XL has a much shittier analog stick than the normal 3DS. But I've just ordered THIS so hopefully it will improve the shitty analog stick. Ive also noticed that the buttons are starting to cave in a bit :(

i bought this item https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6

as the circle pad silicone had begun to tore off i went to rip it from the circle pad housing. as i was thinking glue is a bad idea, i got this material https://www.amazon.com/Faber-Castell-Multipurpose-Adhesive-Non-Toxic-Removable/dp/B01DMA7QW4

good thing is this adhesive is removable (though there are some traces but can be removed easily) so that you can adjust the thickness until it feels right. the way to apply it is like applying a thermal paste, but way smaller

edit: the circle pad silicone is glued to the housing but since the silicone is flimsy, the glue is somewhat flimsy as well. should be easy to rip the silicone apart

It looks so sleek! Have you ever tried using a circle pad cover?

You can buy grip type things that cover the circles. Makes the circle 100 x's better. I'll post a link from Amazon momentarily....
