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 bought a couple of Pro 2s and they didn’t work for my use case. Bluetooth controllers are always very sketchy on my computer, so I was trying to use them over 2.4GHz. They were really responsive, but unfortunately there was no way to switch them off of Xinput. Xinput is fine, but it doesn’t support gyro inputs. So basically if I was playing a game that used gyro, it was bluetooth or nothing. Ended up being a dealbreaker for me and I returned them.

    At the time, there was a beta firmware floating around that had support for what I needed, but I never ended up getting it to work and the 8Bitdo support team said there was no timeline for an official release. YMMV, it could be available now.
