    those buttons are considered mechanical because they use mechanical friction between plastic parts in the assembly for actuation feedback, and it seems to have a conductive rod instead of just silicone dome. if you don't like the soft 'click' on those, you can disassemble it and turn internal part 90 degrees for linear actuation, but then you don't get click a tall.

      I have to corrent myself, this applied to gen1 buttons found on KK2 Pro. in KK3 Max it turns out they put a membrane button inside this plastic housing ☹ I mean, for casual gaming it doesn't matter that much, especially since you could replace individual button if it ever fails (although disassembly would be needed), just the blatant lie is uncalled for.

I took a look at the written review and everything looks great. One thing I wanted to see was the latency in ms to see if this controller is consistently 1ms or under at 1000hz, or if it experiences jitters etc.
      That would be the only thing I would add in addition to the Stability Test (which I have not seen anyone else test, so thanks for bringing that to my attention). Cheers!

    Geez, this is a nearly perfect controller. Other than the useless back paddle buttons (to me). They could even make them work without software if they just mapped them to any of the F13 - F24 as the "default", then let you change to cloning already existing buttons for those it's useful for (or change back to those default F keys). Then in the computer, you could map the F keys to any normal key or macro without it getting in the way of other software (unless you've gone out of your way to use them all already, but then you still have the option of adjusting how you do things).

      Mine had.. A lot.. I bought the KK3 Max after my old Xbox 360 controller finally died and because a friend had good experience with KK2 Pro, but boy was I dissapointed.. 3 quality issues after just 2 weeks of use (playing Horizon Forbidden West on PC).. RB button loud squak when pressed (spring issue), left trigger had a tick when releasing (again spring issue) and worst of all, the left stick had developed a noticable bump feeling in the top part moving left to right (how?!?).. I contacted Gulikit by email but never got a response, so I ended up refunding it via Amazon.. I got the new updated 8Bitdo 2.4Ghz Ultimate with hall effect sticks instead that got just released (perfect timing!).. Much better experience so far after same periode of use, no issues.. Also like the very handy charging dock of 8Bitdo.. And it was 30 bucks cheaper (50 vs 80 bucks).. I do not care about the extra features the KK3 Max had the 8Bitdo does not, like the extra backbuttons and gyro etc, just wanted a good reliable basic controller for PC games (that play better with controller) with Xbox layout..

      even on KK2 Pro sticks are super precise. you can especially feel it in games that don't incorporate huge deadzones behind the scenes, or if you tweak controller settings in Steam or ReWASD to set up anti-deadzone, which would be a bit different for each game. but you also need to get used to it, making really small movements instead of just swinging the stick into extremes. then again, for quick and fine adjustment of the aim you would want to use gyro assist, which is also a thing in Vader 3 Pro.

    It doesn't have 1000 Hz pulling rate. wired atleast... I tested it using Xinput tester software, I barely got 500 Hz... Also, it doesn't have 0.0002 deadzones either.. Which I also tested in Xinput tester... So... Everything about this ting on pc is complete bullshit. You didn't show anything for testing... You just talked about it. :/
    I'd like to point out that the firmware on mine was also up to date AND I'm on Windows 11 Pro and YES... I did have it in the Xinput mode. So yes, I did everything correctly.

      I got a little bit over 800Hz in my tests, it's in the description. Wow, 500Hz is quite low.

      Yea I'm very disappointed in this controller. It's not even remotely close to feeling or behaving as it was advertized.@@HallEffected
