Reddit mentions of KontrolFreek CQCX - Xbox One

I haven't used thumbsticks but some of the reviews from these mentioned relieving left thumb pain : https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MMN7W9A/ Best of luck.

I put some Kontrol Freeks on the standard stick as well because I just like the overall feel better. What I recommend is to maybe buy the small kontrol Freeks they have and then put those on the taller sticks for a bit more height and better grip. Will link some of them.

The alphas don't really add height but they do add more surface to the grip similar to the 360 controller. Hope this helps.

I guess it depends on what stick type you use for the Elite. My suggestion would be to use the default length sticks with the CQCX. It's a convex version of their CQC stick. They don't sell it on their website anymore but hey Amazon.

Another thing you could do is try the longer stick with the Alpha. It's a slight concave but the shortest length you can get from them. It also has a wider surface thumb area.

I've tried both and I've defaulted to the longer stick that came with the elite. All in all once you use something for so long you just get used to it. Just like the first guy said. These are good for raising your sensitivity without losing a huge amount of accuracy.
Either way good luck

With how loose the default stick is on the X1 controller I'd go with regular CQC and not the signature cqc. The concavity and dots provides the best grip instead of their logo being on it and it wearing down much easier. The dots give your fingers something to grip. If you are looking for a domed one then the CQC X.

Sort of looks like the KontrolFreek. Sorry for using an amazon link.
