Better grip for your thumb with the Cyber Slide Pad Cover

34 Comments

Does your thumb regularly slip off the Circle Pad when you’re playing the Nintendo 3DS? I don’t think I’ve ever had that problem, but it sounds like the type of thing that could happen. And, if it’s something you find that annoying you may want to pick up a Circle Slide Pad Cover. These things pop onto your Circle Pad and change its texture, making it easier to grip.

You can click here to view their sales page, although it’s all in Japanese. I’m not sure if there’s any English site you can purchase them from.

      friend, when will a call of duty for 3ds??

    • Santiago

      *friend, when will they release a call of duty for the nintendo 3DS= They will…eventually

    • Belinni

      If we can play it, if it is current gen and if it exists; Call of Duty will be there.

      As much as I dislike the series (after COD4 I got smart) it prints money and turns heads. The more call of duty on the 3DS the more buyers, the more buyers the more attention and the more attention the more unique games! (Okami, Disgaea, Final Fantasy to name a few…)

    How would this fit in between the screen and the controller half of the console when the 3DS is closed?

    • Shoryuken

      its meant to be taken off go to the website they have a keychain for it

      “its meant to be taken off go to the website they have a keychain for it”

      So it’s basically an inconvinience for slightly (and supposedly) more grip?

    IT MATCHES THE COLOR :O

    BUT IT WOULD ALSO PROBABLY LEAVE A MARK ON THE TOP SCREEN

    AND I NO HAS 3DS

    SO PASS

    • cgkrazz

      Yeah, get a new keyboard before a 3DS.

  • Nintendo 3ds lover

    Awesome, i’d love to have this, because unfortunately, the circle pad does get pretty slippery at times, especially when you’re playing resident evil the mercenaries, when is the release date?

  • blake

    hey david do you know if this will leave a mark on your screen like my d-pad already does?

  • 3dspwnage

    I sweat a lot (It’s in my genes), and my thumb does regulary fall of the circle pad when playing oot3d so this would be great for someone like me.

  • Ap0c

    personaly i think this is worse because it is all flat. it works perfectly now, though i haven’t had to do a lot of fast paced actions and with zelda it works perfectly. Will see how it goes with Revelations.

  • spencer

    this could possibly help prevent scratches from the touchscreen, though it would probably leave a worse circlepad mark.

    • Dae

      Oh well, at least the circle pad mark doesnt disturb games D:

  • Joseph

    Cool, the 3DS circle pad tends to get slippery especially when i play OoT 3D. Altough the product may leave a mark on the top screen when you close the 3DS.

    Thats good.

  • Jordan

    Why did’nt you atleast give credit?

  • nintendroid

    i wish they made this b4, my circle pad is all scratched up D:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/TuskanyTV Jerry

    If you have Google chrome you can translate a page from Japanese to English so I was able to look around the site easier

  • Leah

    I would buy… During the horse race in OoT, my finger kept slipping off of the circle pad…

    as stupid as this sounds, since im always an honest person, even if im saying i hate this & that elsewhere, i like how the one in the picture looks like. except for that circle thing on the bottom. if thats the factory thing then its stupid.

  • Holonboy

    My hand never slips off the Circle Pad, but I suppose some people do need this. I would only get it to make my 3DS entirely blue.

  • Jmaster720

    justa whata I needed mama-mia!!

  • Nesyaj0

    I’d like this cuz my thumb sometimes slips off… like when I was racing Ingo on OoT

    Anyway I can just dry it off I guess and dry my thumb. I don’t like the keychain concept, but I would guess theres no other way to do it.

  • Kidd

    I tried making an account on the site there were no regions out of japan when it asked your state so I’m not sure if they will ship out of japan.

    Might pick it up…

  • brennan

    hmmm wont mark the sceen will it

  • FacestabMan

    Personally speaking I have no problems with it slipping. It’s more the position of it, the need of a 3DS grip because the console is small.

    The PSP had something like this and it actually was worse.

  • Trev

    i need this. every time i play a game on my 3ds, my thumb slowly slips of, it is quite annoying.

  • Luigi

    YES THANK U. MY LIL BROTHER STUCK HIS WHOLE NAIL IN IT A BUNCH OF TIMES AND IT ANNOYS ME

  • 1-up Dude
