Sticklocks

They are a little hard to get on, especially on a switch pro controller, but you can get them on pretty quickly with some practice, i honestly recommend to just jam them on and make sure its even, rather then turning them inside-out. But its still my preferred way for travel as it saves so much space to not bring a case and i dont care about minor scratches on the controller.
However if you are somebody who would use these daily, like a commute, i would probably just get a normal case unless the space saving is necessary, because they are slightly annoying.

Nothing says “protected” like a sideways stick. I cut the tops off two so I could make sure I can see the stick and keep it straight.

I’ve tried putting them on my Switch / Switch 2 Joy-Con thunbsticks and they barely ever stay on, and when they do, they aren’t keeping the stick straight. It’s almost impossible to even see if the stick is kept straight while they’re on, but the handful of times I could tell, they were being pushed in a direction. This makes it worse than not using the stick locks in the first place. I’ve even tried using them on my Switch 2 Pro Controller to no success.

Very difficult to put onto the controllers, the PS5 controllers that I have put these on to, it doesn't appear to have kept them from being damaged when traveling.
I imagine it is just because I am doing it wrong and don't understand actually how to use this product?

Fit well, not the easiest to use.
