Best playstation vita hand grips according to redditors

If you need grips with L2 and R2:

I use the CTA grips http://smile.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58 which are basically the Nyko one without the built-in battery as I have read a lot of reports of that battery being cheap and failing pretty quick.

I have fairly large hands, and they work pretty well. And they are dirt cheap, which is also a bonus.

And you can use them with the official PS Vita carrying case just by cutting off the small strap used to connect to the vita. Which is also nice.

I have this on my vita at all times. It really adds the experience for me.

if you wanna compare screens.

The slim feels nicer in my hands, is a good but lighter, uses a regular usb micro cable, but colors look bleached out.

I would get the 1000 this grip case and this dock

Hit left on the D-pad & triangle/circle/X/square at the same time.

Also, buy this.

Get something like the Nyko Power Grip or CTA Digital Grip (no battery)

I can now hold the Vita comfortably for long stretches and the design of the grip keeps your fingers off the touchpad

I highly recommend getting a grip that basically turns the Vita into a controller with a screen. It'll make it infinitely more comfortable to play. I got this one, but there's a bunch of other options as well.

I have a OLED Vita and ended up with this one after trying a couple. Looks similar to the Nyko Power Grip, minus the battery.

As you're in the EU, I'd check out the Kelux Grip in place of the Assist grip. It looks like CTA Grip which is the Nyko Power Grip without the battery. I love the feel of my Nyko so the Kelux should be good.

makes the feel 10x better :-)

This grip.

It's kind of ugly, and you can't charge while it's attached, but it's very comfortable.

There were a couple other grips I've been considering. I would love suggestions if anyone has a grip they love. I want one that doesn't block the charger port.

I would definitely recommend this grip, but I'm still on the lookout for a better one.

I tried this one and hated it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But then I bought this one and it is amazing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm sure if you search on Amazon you'll find the same one for the same price I got it (around $10).

Look for ones that expand the trigger grips and don't block the charger.

I use this and absolutely love it DHSHOP Black Replacement Trigger PS Vita Hand Grip Holder Cover Case for PS VITA 2000 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GZG8CV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vzNKybP8463Z7

before that i had the PDA Trigger Grips .. was quite nice but still hand cramping ... i highly recommend the above

I'm super proud of you for making this yourself, so please understand that I'm not trying to take anything away from your feat.

For those of us that can't built shit, here's a 12 dollar solution with over 200 positive reviews:

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1397150099&sr=1-3&keywords=ps+vita+accessories

It's called "CTA Digital Trigger Grips"

I know you're not in the US, but these were the one I purchased:

CTA Hand Grips

But from your picture, it looks exactly the same.

There's another that looks the same but named differently. Here

Vita has to be connected through wifi, PS4 can be connected through either wifi or ethernet, but you definitely want it connected through ethernet. When you're close enough to the PS4, your Vita will connect directly to the PS4 and works pretty great.


I've used it at my girlfriends house where they have slow internet and a ton of people on at the same time streaming tv, and I was about 30-50 ft from the router, it had noticeable lag and the graphics started getting rally blurred and it disconnected a few times.


Under best conditions, you'll probably want to avoid the crucible, because even with minimal lag, I think it purposely drops frames too keep the connection solid but this makes the controls feel..off. There isn't a lag, it just feels too sensitive almost. I tested it by playing with my TV still on (basically using the Vita solely as a controller) and it's very responsive and feels fine, but holding up the Vita to watch both screens at once, they both start and finish movements at the same time, the Vita just looks jumpy. It's not to hard to get used to and it works great for anything PvE, but the jarring feeling you get while turning can easily cost you a match in crucible.


Also, right bumper to fire, left bumper to ADS, feels natural obviously. But touch the right side of the screen to melee, left side for grenade, both easy to hit on accident. Center of the screen for nav mode. Tapping ▼ on the D-pad to sprint (feels easier than L3 on DS4 imo), and holding ◄ on the D-pad allows you to use ∆, Square, O, and X for your emotes. I don't know if ▲ or ► do anything, and without R3 you can't check other players unless you go to the roster ▲ on the D-pad is for character highlight, and it looks like ► doesn't do anything. Wish they would let ► allow you to compare items.

I personally love it though.

Edit: Anyone considering this should also consider getting a grip for the Vita, It makes a huge difference imo (cheap one here).

Edit 2: Control Scheme. Apparently ▲ on the D-pad is Character highlight.

this should help: one of the best purchases i've made for the vita

I have an original Vita and picked up one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58

I have a hard time playing for any length of time without it. It doesn't have triggers like the other grip that was linked but the design is more comfortable to me.

The only downside is that the grip blocks the charging port but I just see that as a reminder to take breaks.

I honestly wouldn't recommend them. After a while the triggers start to stick rather than flick in a smooth motion. Also if you have large hands ( i do) the trigger grip doesn't offer much support to your palm as a dualshock controller would. I spent $15 on it and i feel like i was ripped off :/

I would recommended this one, its the only one that has superior comfort and provides some slight protection for your vita.

hope this helps

I have this one and I like it. I'm 6'2 and I have big hands. Great for extended play sessions and its inexpensive.

I recently got this generic vita grip it's like the nyko one but doesn't have a battery pack. It's pretty nice grip for a very cheap price.

I recommend this one. It's great and inexpensive. However I'm not sure if it's available on amazon uk or not:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZG8CV2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've got the slim and picked the CTA grip up on Amazon last monthActually these, which you can charge while plugged in, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZG8CV2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits in their great. I've never actually used a Vita without a grip(bought the grip before I even got it) so I can't give a comparison.

All I can say is I wouldn't play my vita without it. The only drawback is the fact you have to remove it to put new games in(I buy physical if I can)

I passed up the battery grip because I only play it at home, and there are lots of conflicting reports on the battery itself, so just went with CTA.

I think you're looking for this grip and if you are using it for remote play and want to the R3 L3 buttons you are looking for either this version with the attachment. I've ordered the first one, but have yet to receive it, so I cannot vouch for quality, so look for reviews.

Here's an interesting one with L3/R3 triggers.

https://www.amazon.com/Handle-Joypad-Trigger-Handel-（Black）/dp/B0776CVLK9/ref=pd_aw_sbs_63_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0776CVLK9&pd_rd_r=96f09891-ce6c-11e8-9fea-e722222b4194&pd_rd_w=VrV2F&pd_rd_wg=89ZZn&pf_rd_i=mobile-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=926ebe02-3236-40c6-ac63-01ad178f498a&pf_rd_r=KJRS7WPCNAVTQAKVS6QY&pf_rd_s=mobile-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=KJRS7WPCNAVTQAKVS6QY

Actually, the one I bought is for the PS Vita 1000. It’s this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0776CVLK9/
The only downside has been that the L3/R3 sticky pad comes off after hours of disuse. I’ve never had it fall off during gameplay. I’m sure a better adhesive could be applied to fix that problem but I haven’t bothered yet.

They look like these but unfortunately they have no reviews. Maybe having a couple different names will help you find some info though?

I recently purchased a used slim for pennies but the rear touch panel has a few scratches on it. I've searched for replacement rear panels and I noticed they all come with stickers to place over it. This one for example

And I'm wondering if it's actually a sticker on OEM rear panels and I can just forgo the panel and get a new replacement sticker. Like this one

Cheers in advance.

This is the one I got

Still available cheaply and it's fairly comfortable.

Or if you're a 'cheapassgamer' like myself, the CTA grip works just as great.

Get a grip bro - http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395338944&sr=8-1&keywords=vita+grip

Entering. It's only the four featured games available, right? If so, I'm entering for Trajectile. It looks like a fun bus/waiting time game.

This is something cool you can buy. It let's you hold the Vita as you would a controller and is under $20. This is a better version, but it's $35. There are others too.

I got this one, it looks kinda funky, but is actually designed really well. There is a comfortable place for every finger. The only down side is not being able to charge and use it at the same time.

I've found that this type of grip helps a lot...

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1464185617&sr=1-1&keywords=vita+grip

The one that I bought is pretty much the same, but cheaper.

Here's how to keep your hands from cramping:

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58

I'm on mobile now, so mind the link, but I use these now.

CTA Digital PS Vita Hand Grip by CTA Digital http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_YTTStb17X7B0V

The only MAJOR downsides here are:

1. No access to the game card port while the grips are attached.
   And
   
2. No access to the charging port while the grips are attached.
   
   These downsides don't bother me so much considering how much better they feel in my hands compared to the Vita sans-grips.

I've read plenty of reviews/posts from people with the PDP trigger grip that don't really like it. Some say the triggers are mushy, some say that the case scratches the triggers, etc.

I picked up this cheapy from Amazon and I love it. I sometimes with it had longer handles like this CTA grip but at the same time, that would prevent it from fitting in side the case I use. That CTA one also blocks the charge port so long gaming sessions require removing the case or charge breaks.

I highly recommend the cheap grip, you can't really go wrong for <$5. The worst thing about it is that it isn't very grippy, otherwise it does it's job. Check out the reviews on Amazon too.

I like the boomerang style ones. (Here's an example of the one I own.)
https://www.amazon.com/CTA-CTAVITHG-PlayStation-Vita-Hand/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518098557&sr=8-1&keywords=Ps+vita+grip
It is easier to hold the vita with it and is sturdy and feels good when you hold it. The only con is that you cannot charge while the grip is on the vita. If that's a deal breaker, I think the pdp grips allow you charge the vita.
I know it sucks the vita doesn't have the triggers, I'd argue the trigger grips make it worse. I think the easiest solution would be if Sony allowed you to use your Ps4 controller with the vita but I don't think they care at this point.

I didn't search but you could always just try amazon.co.uk
Amazon doesn't ship out of country from any of its locations, I personally recommend longer grips if you have big hands though like these

i have this one

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1418158958&sr=1-1&keywords=vita+grip

if you have big hands i'll recommend it

I have this one I don't play my Vita often at all, but it makes it so I CAN play it a ton if I want (usually only on vacations). It blocks the Charging port, but it's definitely comfortable, fairly similar to a wider PS3 controller. It doesn't have custom triggers. The back touch screen can be awkward, but I think that's just me and my very small hands. I really like having the handle extend downwards for grip, which is why I didn't get the smaller ones like the "compact" one you linked.

It's pretty similar in shape to the Niko one you linked, the Niko one has that extended life battery, which makes it heavier, but I've heard decent things about it as well. I don't think I've seen anyone really regret buying ANY of the grips available on the market from what I've seen, so just pick the one that looks most appealing to you.

It seems when it comes to grips you have a smaller grip with decent controls and grip and then you have the larger grips which aren't very portable but come with excellent controls. With that being said, it doesn't look too much different from the CTA Digital Hand Grip.

It's a bit heavy if you don't actually need the recharging functionality, I prefer using a regular grip that's the same shape such as this.

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58

One more thing I forgot to mention. It's worth investing in a Vita grip if you plan to play for an extended time. There's a few you can find on Amazon that are inexpensive. Just make sure you know which Vita you have. I have a first generation which are slightly bigger so some grips will not fit.

This is the one I use: CTA Digital PS Vita Hand Grip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_dizOwb55ENZ1B

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58

Is this almost the same thing? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0073ESZ58/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483797250&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=nyko+power+grip+vita+1000&dpPl=1&dpID=414hUh2DXpL&ref=plSrch

I also got one shortly after getting PS Plus and haven't regretted it. I haven't played it a ton because I don't have as much time for games anymore, but I think it is a solid system.

I would recommend getting some kind of grip to make it easier to hold though, I was getting hand/wrist pain before I got myself this thing:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can't charge while playing but I think it works quite well otherwise.

I think ~$100 is fair. With that you would be getting a PS ViTA (3g capable model including cables), these grips, a 4GB vita memory card, an 8GB memory card, Mortal Kombat, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy X-2 shipped to anywhere in the US.

Yeah, I use this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the PDP grip here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And these CTA ones here, but I still use these pretty often.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Very nice write up and comparison Bubba. I have the trigger grip myself and find that I don't really like the bumper cover buttons because I feel they're not quite as responsive as the vita bumpers. While playing ModNation Racers Road Trip I find that while I think I'm accelerating with the trigger grips right bumper it seems to be losing the connection and I'm not accelerating. It could just take me a little more getting used to it.

It looks like there's another grip out there that I'm thinking of checking out: CTA Digital PS Vita Hand Grip http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

But your way is even more uncomfortable... My thumbs are all jammed up. My way is comfortable with full range of motion, just tiring.

EDIT: I guess you're holding it like this with the gummed up left thumb on the stick. Or maybe like this claw hand who is similar, but trying to get more space for thumb motion. Neither look that great and of course I've tried those positions. I don't want to hold the weight with my pinkies.

Anyway, get a grip and problem solved. That's why these things are being made.

I haven't noticed any battery degradation. But if you're worried:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0073ESZ58/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1527260190&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=vita+grip

Same thing minus the battery.

I use these and love them. http://www.amazon.com/Trigger-Grips-Holder-Playstation-Vita-PS/dp/B0081GA50U/

Plus they're less than $5 shipped.

I prefer them over the PDP Trigger grips which I found to be too smooth and slippery.

I just have a screen protector on the front, and a sub $5 grip that is awesome for the price, and I highly recommend. Currently using the Free Uncharted theme. On the back I have a retro Batman logo.

That's so funny I got a vita two weeks ago n I was having the same issue... I picked up a 5$ d trigger grip from Amazon which I hear is also sold at gamestops. They're cheap... Just get them, makes a Really big difference. Btw I have the 1000 model. I know they have something similar for the 2000.

Buying a cheap vita hand grip for it makes those back buttons much easier on the hands. This for example. Bought it a couple weeks ago and it's much better.

Crap... Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/DHSHOP-Replacement-Trigger-Vita-Holder-PlayStation/dp/B00GZG8CV2/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1452863312&sr=1-3&keywords=grip

I finally found these and it works great. Similar to the Nyko grip but it is just a grip, no charging. Nice and light too.

i recently ordered my grip:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZG8CV2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1R36DTBN34FXF

This is currently coming in, so I haven't gave it a try yet. According to a previous post I did, some guy said that any generic grip works (if i didn't want L2R2). !

I was concerned with the battery on the vita and having the Nyko being always plugged in. So i opted for a cheaper version without the backup battery. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZG8CV2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

they are very basic hold the vita in nicely. Takes a lot of the stress off my hands when playing for longer periods of time.

Not sure if this is the 'trigger' case the other guy mentioned but I order this last year and you just slide the vita in to make it a really big controller. It doesn't have the pseudo triggers and it's like the nyko charging handle without the charging aspect https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GZG8CV2/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For those who have the 2000 version, does it make the vita more comfortable? More like a controller? I bought this grip for long play sessions, but I'm not in love with it.

Well, out of your choices, I have both and would recommend neither. The pdp trigger grips have a very plastic feel and sound when clicking the triggers. Annoyed me day one, came off day two. The dreamgear comfort grips do not really give justice in pictures as to how large the back humps (bottom of vita in the back) are on that thing. They are massive and very rounded. Your Vita will not lay flat at all once you put it down, it will actually rock back and forth. I have bought all the grips for both the 1000 and slim model vita's. For the 1000 model I recommend this: Aweek® Bracket Handgrip Handle Grip Case for Playstation Vita 1000 PSVita PS Vita - Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MB53DQ0/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_1w8QybWSHQJJ8
For a slim model I gave up on trying to find a good grip as I always just return to a silicone case for it. Recommendation here: HORI Silicone Protector and Screen Filter Set for PlayStation Vita 2000 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L6AVPLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_hA8Qyb7K16E0C

This grip is awesome. I have the same grip from this company (which is virtually the same) that would allow you to charge the Vita 1000 through a micro USB cable but that one is unavailable on Amazon.

Does it look more like this grip or this one? I'm not sure if I want a bigger or smaller grip, so if you like yours I'll probably get one that looks similar.

So I saw how Ape Escape is difficult to play, due to the missing L2/R2, L3/R3 buttons. This led me to thinking that some of my other beloved games on psx might be difficult. Let alone remote play.

Then I hear someone say that a Hori grip gives you those buttons. From looking into it, it appears they press the touch panel for you. It's perfect.
But those appear few and far between, plus I saw some reviews saying they were kinda bad.

I also would want a grip for my 1000. This thing looks good.

Though I could only map two buttons from its appearance. But there's like a million things per page.

And that's just Amazon. I don't even know if this is the right place to shop.

Anybody with a grip able to weigh in?

I was able to use a second controller logged as a different user, on my machine. I used the vita to launch the game, then my ps4 controller (Logged In as Player 2) worked normally.

I may be buying this soon though!

Review of that grip here is brutal (expensive in Canada too):

And when you use the DS4 as Player 2, do you need to constantly touch the vita for the brightness?

This one: http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345714230&sr=8-1

Keeps very steady and improve a lot of the ergonomy, I can't play it without this anymore.

Without the grip, in 15mins my hands are aching in agony.

With the grip I can play for hours.
