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.

    And why aren’t you considering 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth?

    As for PS5, I think the only way to use these controllers on it is using Brook adapter (or any other adapter of this type), but it’ll only work in PS4 games

      Looking up the 8bitdo Ultimate again, I think it’s better than both the 8bitdo pro 2 and the gulikit. However, I think the reason why I didn’t consider it before it’s because of the battery replacement.

      In the pro 2 it’s easy as putting in AAs or new 8bitdo batteries. The ultimate feels like if the battery dies it will be more convenient to buy another than to replace it.

      Currently checking out how durable the battery for Ultimate is and weighing if it’s worth the trade-off.

      If the battery averages to last about at least 2 years of regular use, I’m leaning towards the ultimate.

      The site said ultimate is only compatible with Switch, Windows, and SteamOS.

      I was wondering if you know if it’s compatible with Android as well.
