GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro (No Drift) Wireless Controller for Switch/PC/Android/MacOS/IOS, Bluetooth Controller with Hall Effect Sense Joystick, No Deadzone, Motion Sense, Auto Pilot Gaming, with Keycap

The Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro controller (bit of a mouthful by the way) is a solid controller and one of the better third-party options out there.It feels comfortable in the hand and the handling is comparable to something like an Xbox Wireless Controller. It has a matte finish that doesn't attract fingermarks and is weighted just right so that it doesn't feel tiring but also doesn't feel light and cheap. Build quality-wise it's hard to fault.In terms of gameplay, it works great. The joysticks are smooth and responsive, they have less resistance than say, your average DualShock controller yet they spring back into place when released just fine. Being Hall effect sensors, their big selling point is their resistance to mechanical wear but only time will tell how these compare to traditional joysticks. The buttons are nice and tactile too; D-Pad buttons and face buttons all operate on a membrane switch as opposed to clicky dome switches. Some people might prefer the clicky type, but I prefer this type because it's quieter.One of the features I like best about this controller is how versatile it is. I have it paired to my PC, Switch, and iPad and can seamlessly hop between them without needing to re-pair each time.On the Switch, it's detected as a Pro Controller and pretty much works just like one with most features present. It supports gyro controls, Amiibo, and all of the system buttons work too. The only difference is that it doesn't have HD Rumble, instead it uses regular eccentric rotation-type vibration motors but that's not too bad of a tradeoff.On PC and mobile, this gamepad is detected as an Xbox Controller. One downside is that by default this controller is configured as a Switch Pro Controller with the A button on the right, B bottom, Y left, and X up. In PC and mobile mode the button mappings are switched so the A/B and X/Y button mappings are swapped based on their physical button labels. The controller itself does come with swappable buttons so you can customise them and swap them around to match the Xbox layout and if you don't use a Switch then this will work for you.Additionally, there's a button combination that lets you re-map the A/B and X/Y positions on the fly but this will affect mappings across all modes so while the buttons will match in PC mode, they will no longer match in Switch mode. It would be nice it the re-mappings are saved on a per-mode basis. Given that the controller supports firmware updates, I can only hope they fix this in the future.There are some neat extra features too, for example you can record input macros on the go and play them anywhere. I don't use this feature but I'm sure other people will find it useful.While I haven't done a dedicated battery test, this controller has lasted through 2 months of sporadic daily usage so it's definitely decent. Because it charges via USB C, there's no shortage of compatibility with most chargers too.All in all, I'd highly recommend this controller. It works and feels great and being able to pair with multiple platforms and move between them means I no longer need three separate controllers. There are some downsides and it's important to note that this controller does not work with the PlayStation or the Xbox but if you're a PC, Switch, or mobile user then this is a great choice.

I usually buy a new controller every year due to "stick drift" and various wear and tear issues. I opted for this one due to the claim of no stick drift. So far, after a few months of use, it's really holding up. For information, I play on PC... tried this on an Xbox and it would not connect.In terms of build quality, it feels really premium and solid. Ergonomic feel to it with nice raised areas for grip. The buttons have a nice satisfying "click" to them and everything is very responsive. It works Bluetooth or wired which is really useful. I also use this to connect to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra for retro gaming / emulation - it pairs really easily.Pros:- No apparent stick drift (will need to report back and update in another few months)- Nice plastic case comes with it to house the controller when not in use- Buttons are satisfying to press / click- works across PC / Android / Switch- Can be used wired as well as wireless- USB C interface for charging and connecting- rechargeable batteries not required (lithium battery inside)Cons:- Cannot connect to Xbox / PS4 / PS5 consolesOverall I would recommend this if gaming on a PC, android tablet or Nintendo Switch

After 3 years of use, my switch pro controller started to drift, and after experiencing it on both my PS4 and PS5 controllers I'm sick of paying £60 for controllers that don't last and are unrepairable.For ~20% more you can get this controller which will never drift, feels great to hold, and is usable across many different devices. I have it synced to my PC and my switch, and when you switch modes by pressing the button on the top it will auto-connect to either device so you don't have to go through pairing again.Battery life is also great.Only downside is that the ABXY buttons were squeaky. Others have complained about this on reddit, but I found a much better fix that doesn't involve disassembling the controller.Pull these buttons out using the tool provided in the box (they come straight out the front), then squirt a tiny bit of white lithium grease into each button. It's non-conductive lubricant that works with plastics.No more squeaking after this. This should have been done in the factory, but as this only take 2 minutes to do it's not a big deal.
