After some research I’ve narrowed down my options into these two controllers.
Use-case:
- Mostly PC gaming (It Takes Two, PS2 Emulation, etc.), Android Gaming (probably Emulation as well).
- Also my little brother has a Switch and it would be awesome to have another controller for that as well.
Why these two?
- They are available locally (Philippines) and within the budget.
- Both have Hall Effect Joysticks
- Both have good reviews and hopefully have good build quality
Why am I leaning towards 8bitdo Ultimate?
- Mostly because I think they are the same but 8bitdo has the back buttons.
Give me Reasons Why I Should Get the Gulikit KingKong 2 over the 8bitdo Ultimate
I didn’t like the fact that for the “pc-setting” in the 8bitdo you have to use the dongle, and can’t use bluetooth.
also the kingkong2 pro has exchangeable abxy buttons, so you can change them to the correct layout for the thing you’re currently playing on (which may be extremely useful with the little brother, depending on his age)
I would hate to use Bluetooth, would prefer a dongle. The latency of Bluetooth is awful.
I got the 8bitdo pro 2 and it’s able to do custom settings over USB ^^ How often do you want to change the profiles?
