I love the whole concept of this controller with the back buttons and how self-repairable it is as well as all the functions it provides but it just has too many bad QC units. Mine for example has a creaky left trigger with the stop mechanism on but AKNES has quickly resolved that for me (Shout out to Jim).People have also complained about latency but I honestly do not see it, i've been getting very good times with the dongle and is not noticeable.

I'm torn, I almost prefer the king kong 2 in a couple ways. But between this, the KK2, and the 8bitdo ultimate/sn30 pro, this is probably the best overall if you aren't playing a ton of retro D-pad centric games (if you have a lot of those and do them for the mostpart, the sn30 series with the d pad on top is superior, if you do a lot of mix, 8bitdo.)I like the trigger lockouts that turn them into switches, but the feel for that is kinda mushy. The buttery smooth triggers on the KK2 are just nicer. These are still much nicer than the 8bitdo ultimate and they're weighted well. Shoulder buttons are far better than the clacky loud ones on the 8bitdo. If you use triggers a lot and don't need lockouts or the back paddles, take a serious look at the old king kong 2. Those triggers are so light and smooth like hot buttered glass. These are just a bit stiffer and have a twang-ey feel by comparison that I can happily live with, but having experienced what a flawless trigger is, I can tell.The dongle connectivity is better than the KK2 an on par with the 8bitdo. Bluetooth it's a wash, no complaints with any of the 3.D-pad is not great. It works, but microswitches are simply not as nice as the membrane and size of the 8bitdo ultimate or the sn30. Fine for games that use it for inputs like elden ring and the like, but I'd get a little sick of it if I played a ton of retro emulation.The sticks are a highlight. They're glassy smooth and very light with fast return but no snapback issues. Dead accurate out of the box. I'm not a pro gamer in any way anymore, and I've never been huge into gamepads until I got the venerable steam controller and started doing more retro gaming too (please bring back the steam controller valve... it was my one true love) But these sticks are just my platonic ideal. The 8bitdo sticks are accurate but just a little stiffer and don't glide around the perimeter of the controller like the KK3 and KK2.Face buttons are also faultless. They're a little stiff but not tiringly, they're positioned well to roll your thumb between them, and I love that they can be easily swapped out for the nintendo and xbox layout with the included extra set.The back paddles are a mixed bag. They have no instructions on how to install (just push them in, tilt them backwards to lever them out) and I just... don't like them as much as I thought. the squeeze-integrated buttons on the 8bitdo are just objectively better for me, much closer to the steam deck, though there are only 2 and they're nowhere near as remappable. But the 4 on the KK are just slightly awkwardly positioned no matter what layout I used, and they never "disappear" like they do on the 8bitdo, so unless I have a REAL use for 'em, I'm going to remove them. They also prevent it from fitting in the excellent travel case (which is an oversight.)I also appreciate the super accurate gyro mode. some games really benefit from that.Comfort is noticeably better than the 8bitdo - the 8bitdo has a lovely dock that I like very much, but to make it "fit" the aesthetic, the inside edge is very sharp and does get annoying after an hour or two. Not enough to make me stop, but enough that I notice. No such problems on the KK2/3. all day comfort, no issues.The thing also has a dizzying amount of customization in the software. It's excellent. And the hardware itself isn't super intuitive but keeping the little trifold manual on hand to change modes for games is genuinely useful. I like it a lot.Overall, I'm kinda torn. I prefer the grip-style rear button of the 8bitdo, but those aren't very remappable like they are on the KK3. I prefer the staggeringly smooth and light triggers of the KK2 but far more than the clacky shoulders and stiff triggers of the 8bitdo. The face buttons are faultless. The d-pad is kinda weak, but serviceable. I love supporting gulikit for their dedication to making sticks to repair and upgrade steam decks and joycons. I love the carrying case but dislike that you can't use the rear paddles with it and would really like a charging stand with pogo pins like the 8bitdo.Pairing between android/switch/PC is seamless among them all.What do I really want? Steam controller. Just bring the steam controller back, lol. Get gulikit to supply the left thumbstick for it. They do the best hall effect sticks on earth.But in the meantime, I'm keeping both the 8bitdo and the KK3 on my media PC setup. The 8bitdo for its stellar Dpad and clean look on my media console, and the KK3 in the cabinet for when I plan on playing a more serious twin-stick game. I think for modern gaming, the KK3 is still the best. If I only played stick-heavy games with triggers and didn't need back buttons, I'd go KK2. And if I needed the mixed versatility with the D pad (at the expense of far worse triggers and shoulders and slightly stiff sticks and slightly sharp inner edges) I'd go 8bitdo.

Worked great for a day and then the X/Y face buttons started doing combined inputs every time. Other than that it’s a great controller all the button presses feel great, ergonomics are nice and has some cool reprogramming functionality.

It's great as a cheap controller with decent quality in certain ways. The analog sticks are among the best. Easily amazing for what they are. The rest of the controller is 50/50. The plastic feels cheap and the controller feels very light. The buttons are kinda mushy, but do still feel good enough to enjoy playing. Bluetooth is great, and the battery life is solid. As far as being compatible with many devices is great. Worst feature of this controller is the recordable but input function, where it records up to 1000 inputs, then you can play them back. The inputs are very inaccurate, and if using the anolg sticks, the anolg inputs don't really have any accuracy in playback at all. It is just a gimmick imo. Otherwise for what it's is, being a controller on the cheaper side. It's definitely the best cheap controller I've used. But definitely not the best controller I've used.

Im very fatisfy with my purchase. In came in a little case, i really like the texture on it, feel very nice. Cant go wrong it shape like a xbox one controller. trigger feel nice and clicky, joystick feel very nice, no drift so far. Out of the box it pair easily on pc and switch. Gyro work on pc too, could be nice for rail shooter game like House of the dead! Only thing i dont like is the tool to replace your button layout, if your not careful enough you will scratch or damage your button, that not good. Only tip i found that work is put enough pressure so i doesnt slip and wiggle gently, button will pop out. So far so good, i highly recommend this controller, not only it feel great and solid, it work on mutiple platform which is a big plus, especially with how notorious switch controller drift and cost alot

This is one of the finest controllers I've ever put my hands on. I'm so sick of using controllers for a few months only to have them succumb to stick drift. Every. single. one. PlayStation, Xbox, Steel Series, third party. The Hall Effect Sensors in this controller are so smooth and so buttery its amazing. I needed a new controller to use with my Steam Deck and this controller was in the running along with the PS5 and the Xbox Pro controller. I'm so glad I decided to go with the GuliKit KingKong Pro2. It paired with my computer and Steam deck seamlessly and if I want to pair with my Switch, I have no doubt that I'll have no issues with it. The controller itself has a really nice heft to it and a super comfortable stippling that makes using it a joy. It also came with extra buttons to swap out to bring it in line with Nintendo's button lay out AND a really nice plastic case in case I'd like to throw it in my my bag for travel. I did immediately add some heavy duty tape to the joint in my controller case because the plastic its made out of is the kind that will eventually break with enough use. I cant speak highly enough of this controller and because of this, I plan to swap out the sticks in my Steam Deck with GuliKit Hall Effect Sticks at some point. Well Done, GuliKit!

I'm a bit of a collector when it comes to peripherals for my computer and there is nothing that I like more than collecting and comparing controllers for the various racing and 3rd person games I play on my PC.I bought the Gulikit after learning about the company from Linus Tech Tips, as stick drift is a huge industry issue that needs to be corrected yesterday. The KingKong pro 2 excels in some really important areas, but fails in some others, especially those that matter to the casual consumer.First off, the good:- Hall effect sensors! No more stick drift, ever.- Firmware level, easy to use customization. Change rumble intensity, get rid of hardware deadzones (hardware deadzones are standard on all other controllers), switch A-B, X-Y functionality for uniformity when switching between the Nintendo Switch and other platforms, and other things all without downloading software or registering anything! It's baked straight onto the controller.- 4 mini-philips head screws on back for easy access for repairs. I haven't opened it up yet but I assume the interior is equally consumer/right-to-repair friendly.Before I move onto the bad, let me stress how important this stuff is. This SHOULD be industry standard stuff, but out of every modern controller I have, this is the ONLY one that has ANY of these features. This is not only way more consumer friendly, but also way more eco-friendly. All of my other controllers will eventually have their potentiometers fail, causing stick drift, and be either difficult or impossible to fix, causing them to end up as e-waste.Ok, now the situationally bad:- Controller was clearly designed for FPS and marketed for switch and mobile, with PC being an afterthought/tack on feature. Triggers have very little travel with linear activation, and the firmware level sensitivity customization only makes the triggers more sensitive, making it tough to recommend this controller for PC use case.- Trigger activation may be linear, but the trigger resistance is not. Makes trigger control very difficult. Combined with the short travel it's maddening.- rumble features are good enough, but pale in comparison to modern competition.Now the outright bad:- While the joysticks are excellent, the manufacturing quality of the rest of the controller is mediocre at best. My d-pad has a manufacturing fault out of the box in spite of feeling like a membrane implementation (not a big deal for my intended use case), the buttons feel mushy and poorly defined, the back of the controller grips great but the front feels slippery, and the trigger surface feels equivalent to those provided by those cheap-as-possible knock-off brands.- Came with the finishing powder still on it. Highly recommend you wipe it down with alcohol before powering it up and turning it on.- Hope you can read either Chinese or English, because that's all you're getting for instructions, and honestly, some of the English is poorly translated.It's unfortunate, because a lot about this controller really is excellent, and needs to be encouraged to become industry standard, but I just can't broad-spectrum recommend it over some of the competition. If supporting consumer friendly trends and reparability rank high on your priority list, this is what I recommend, but unfortunately the other issues keep it from the top spot.

Thought I should make up for my mistake with this product review as there is no option to remove the merchant feedback (the controller seller being Aknes).Amazon put a strike through the text and claimed responsibility before I got a chance to explain the situation, but I think they are leaving it as is. I think as a result of Amazon's action the feedback did not hurt the seller's score.Basically when I clicked the "Leave seller feedback" button on the slipper merchant's page, it brought me to a new page with several other products including the slippers, but I didn't notice the other products. The controller merchant was probably the first on the product list presented to me. I had never left seller feedback before.Anyways, the controller is great so far. The analog sticks feel amazingly accurate, the triggers feel great while driving in games. Only issue I'm slightly concerned about is that the Y button feels slightly sticky when coming out, like it takes a little longer than it should compared to the A B and X buttons. Those 4 face buttons are mechanical switches rated for I believe 50 million clicks btw. I kinda wish the start and select buttons were larger and shaped differently, mostly the select button though.Had no issues getting Windows 11 to recognize the XInput mode from the controller.

Die Aufnahme funktion geht manchmal nicht trotz Reset Knopf sowie der linke stick hängt sich öfters auf. Schade

Mi è stato inizialmente inviato un controller difettoso, prontamente sostituito dalla venditore dopo pochi giorni. Il controller è programmabile in molti aspetti, ma la cosa che mi è piaciuta di più è l' ergonomia. Provato soprattutto su PC, anche su switch funziona bene. Solido e ben fatto.
