I have been on a little bit of a Dragon Ball tech deep dive ever since I first caught wind of Casetify’s DBZ Scouter accent, and what appeared to be the anime gaming accent of my goals.
Realizing that the Scouter was not, in reality, a gaming headset and was truly an Apple AirPod attachment was such a disappointment that it left a Piccolo-sized gap in my chest. A gap that no senzu-bean may remedy, and that would solely be crammed by looking down the best licensed Dragon Ball equipment and goodies that money should purchase – like these Dragon Ball Z Thumb Grips by FRTEC.
I’m a giant fan of thumb grips as PS5 accessories, and have a storage case full of different sets, so I was ecstatic that these officially licensed Dragon Ball ones actually existed.
Made by FRTEC, these little silicon attachments gave my boring red PS5 controller a new lease of life, and allows my setup to better tie in to the cabinets full of Dragon Ball merch currently set up in my living room. Naturally, they’re based on the 4-star ball, and cleverly use its markings to provide that extra grippy texture to give you something nicer than the bare-naked sticks to hold to.
Soaring through the skies as Vegeta in Dragon Ball Kakarot during the Namek Saga with teeny tiny 4-star Dragon Balls at my literal fingertips filled me with senseless joy. Not just because my controller was now technically a piece of Dragon Ball merch, but because it actually made the experience far more comfortable than I’m used to.
Don’t have a PS5?
If you’re more of a Nintendo fan instead, this Dragon Ball Super Switch game case is $27.36 at Amazon and gives storage for as much as 24 Change (and Change 2) video games and two microSD playing cards – good for storing the upcoming Sparking Zero port.
Different silicon grips in my assortment are likely to get a bit damp and sweaty over time, whether or not I’m enjoying a single-player sport like Dragon Ball Kakarot or hours deep in a Marvel Rivals gaming session. Nevertheless, these FRTEC grips by no means faltered and remained persistently dry, which made touchdown hits in opposition to Dodoria all the simpler – he was no match for my exact Galick Gun assaults.
These grips aren’t as grippy as the KontrolFreek grips that begin from $16.99 at Amazon that I exploit day-to-day, however they nonetheless made the DualSense sticks much more snug. I simply want there have been an formally licensed PS5 controller to match them.
I’m nonetheless endlessly on the hunt for extra Dragon Ball tech, and with the Nintendo Change 2 model of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero dropping on November 14, 2025, there’s most likely extra on the horizon. In case that day by no means comes, do not thoughts me as I proceed down this tremendous saiyan-sized anime-tech rabbit gap.
