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
Sorry for not sticking to your to options. But. If your brother have a Switch, why not considering a Switch Pro Controller? Works great on PC, on Steam Deck, and of course Switch. I’m loving mine for PC gaming.
The 8bitdo also works with the Switch (I use it all the time), plus… It has back buttons!
Because most people that have tried both prefer the 8bitdo ultimate or Gulikit over the 1st party Nintendo switch pro controller. (Also I’m not sure if the NSW pro is compatible with Android).
Also one thing that NSW doesn’t have is hall effect joysticks.
