Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grip cap having appropriate sensory feedback and to prevent it from becoming slippery even after the grip cap is used for a long period by providing an elastic hollow grip can which is detachably attached to the front end of the controller of a computer with plural fibers extending outward. SOLUTION: This hollow grip cap 14 is detachably attached to the front end of the control stick of a computer. The cap 14 is formed in a hanging bell-like shape of an elastic material having an internal surface 16 and external surface 18 and a plural fibers 20 are adhered onto the external surface 18 through an adhesive layer 21. In addition, a protective coating layer 22 is provided on the fibers 20 extending outward from the surface 18. Therefore, such a hollow grip cap 14 that does not become slippery even after the cap 14 has appropriate sensory feedback and is used for a long period can be attached to the control stick.
