What the King Kong Pro 2 does differently though, is like many third-party controllers, it has a programmable extra button.

Most controllers do not start to drift until quite a few months into their life, if not a couple of years, so truly testing this controller will be a long review. GuliKit claims that their controller will never drift, and that remains to be seen, but there are problems that we can observe now. Until this gyroscope is fixed, it’s useless to Splatoon players which accounts for a large chunk of the Nintendo Switch’s audience. Some (or all) of these features can be found in alternatives like the PowerA Fusion Pro 2 and Turtle Beach Recon, though both of those options are wired. I would normally avoid third-party controllers as back in the day, they had some extremely questionable quality to them (Does anyone remember MadCatz pre-2018?The controller itself is about the same size as a Switch Pro Controller and has the same layout to it. Pretty good controller and a lot of features like turbo and control playback and having the ability to turn on the switch and gyro is great. I particularly like the contrast between the chrome bumpers and triggers and the black body on the version I tested.

I have communicated with them through their Facebook page and they have ALWAYS responded eventually and always taken my feedback to heart.With six axis gyroscope, it can detect the tilt of the controller and react quickly, making switch motion-sensing games more fun. Then there are the input modes: Switch Pro, Xbox 360 for windows, what I think is Xbox one for iOS/Android, and dinput for those of you that hate xinput. For example, a headphone jack and back buttons would tremendously help here and I hope to see them in GuliKit’s future controllers.

With joysticks that won't suffer stick drift, a plethora of connectivity options, a sleek (if familiar) design, tons of customization options, and even amiibo support, the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro may lack fancy software and accessories, but it delivers on quality, versatility, and hides a few tricks to help you "cheat" your way to victory. It’s also compatible with the Steam Deck, though you’ll need to use it in Switch mode with Steam’s handheld if you want gyro controls.

Available in black or white, the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro has a satisfying soft-touch matte finish with subtly textured grips. There’s one weak link in the controller’s excellent feel: the triggers, which also use Hall effect sensors. At the top of the controller, you also find a slider to change between Nintendo Switch, Windows, and Android, allowing you to quickly and easily set up this controller for other devices.
