Gulikit NSW KingKong Pro 2 vs 8bitdo Pro 2
What are the pros and cons between the two?
I’ve been eyeing the 8bitdo Pro 2 for a while now for using on my PC, Android, and Switch. But then I saw that Gulikit was available locally as well at almost the same price.
I’m interested in the Gulikit because of the supposedly better joystick durability due to the hall effect joysticks.
Thoughts on these two controllers?
Any glaring issues I should know about?
Also I know both of these controllers don’t support PS5, but it would be a plus if there’s some way to use it on a ps5 as well.
I’m pretty sure only the Ultimate has HE from 8bit do. The Pro 2 definitely seems to not have them with the amount of posts I’ve seen asking if retro-fitting them is possible.
King Kong 2 both pro and non-pro have HE sticks and triggers, I’ve got a KK2P and that’s the reason I wanted one. 8bitdo don’t seem to mention it on their website but I remember the release press articles mentioning some recent model coming out with HE sticks, but nothing is mentioned in the product pages.
That’s why I have the KK2P as well. When I was in the market I was watching review videos on different models from both companies and the only 8bitdo controller I got confirmation of HE sensors on was the Ultimate so it’s prudent to assume the others don’t.
I guess I confused the 8bitdo Pro and Ultimate, yeah never meant to imply other controllers from 8bitdo had them.
No problem. It doesn’t help that both companies have a “Pro 2”.
