Correction: I say a few times in the video "RGB". The lighting is actually a static bluish white color and can't be changed but can be dimmed and turned completely off.
It changes depending on the sensitivity level you have the sticks set to. It will go almost a red/pink at lowest. And greenish at highest. It does have rgb it seems but no way to control it unfortunately
link for this adapters, converters?
Hey please check out the controllers for the onexplayer 2 with the adapter I would like to see your review for it
Question does the motion sensor works on this controller when playing FPS games on Xbox series X/S when using the wingman converter?
YOU MEAN THE LGBTQ LIGHTS! HAHAHA XD
Been waiting for this one, just ordered mine, thanks for the great review
Hope you enjoy it!
THE BEST INTRO OF ALL RUclipsRS AND all your intro and vids are the BEST been following you since the beginning
Your intro alone made me hit the like button! Love the vid, keep up the great work!
My birthday is actually next week, February 4th. This review, paired with the release of this controller gives me just enough time to get this controller for myself!
Love that
Me too! Twins
@@temperd9943me too, triplets
@@GamerHeavenOfficial could you make a video for the best custom controller for a ps5 thats for 100 dollars ?
I have literally been waiting on you to test this gamepad since I 1st heard it announced ..MONTHSSS .. ago ... Glad to know it was worth the wait !!
That makes me happy to hear
Their website advertises it too
Don’t buy it. The triggers dead zone is extremely high!!!!!!! You can’t change it. Thumbs dead zone you can go raw mode or 10% like only. Nothing else to choose from.

The review I was waiting the most
here it is
I be waiting on this review captain im really thinking about getting it for real thanks for the video.
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome! Been waiting to hear your thoughts on the KK3! Almost as long as I've been waiting for the damn thing to come out!
I love your brutally honest reviews
Thank you David
Oh Captain My Captain.....WOWZA....just another in-depth stellar review. Hitting all the marks and answering all the stallion's and stallionette's questions even before we knew we had them!
Thanks Frank!
Well, even before watching this: THANK YOU!
Your reviews are the most entertaining. ❤🎉
I've never seen a channel that goes this deep into reviewing a controller
I've been waiting for this thank you
No problem
Mine arrives this Friday. Can't wait to test it.
nice bro
What do you think?
Gullikit should make a PlayStation controller I would instantly buy.
they won't, Sony doesn't like third parties.
Does this work on Xbox?
@@soobok13 using goku adaptor (about 15 dlls) yes.
Amazing review! Love your content!
Just bought mine excited 🎉🎉🎉
I pre-ordered mine yesterday. I have the 2 and it's awesome.
Finally I have been waiting for a good controller that's also affordable
Great review, your gulikit 2 video is what made me a fan of your channel
Thank you, that’s awesome to hear
Loved the vid as always! I’m rocking a razer raiju which I use for fps as it’s super responsive (stick wise) with 0 drift, an Elite series 2 for action/adventure or more casual games (seriously the most comfortable and good looking controller I’ve owned and love the customisation/profile options) and I have a flydigi Vader 3 pro on the way ❤
Loving the looks of this one too!
I got this controller and I could say it's the best money I spent on a controller with this many features and this many innovations
Still working well?
I will 10000% buying one! Thanks a for the amazing review!
Hope you enjoy it Dojay
Did you buy one yet? What are your thoughts?
@@SofaKingA I did get one. I love everything about it, but the triggers the trigger stops broke two weeks in.
@@Dojaycat Yeah I heard there were some QC issues with it so I held off. Then I realized learning controller for call of duty is damn hard after playing MnK for decades so I returned the controllers I bought anyway. Thanks for the feedback!
This would have been awesome if it was also a officially licensed controller for Xbox as well, I would've picked this up ASAP. Awesome review, keep up the great work! 👌
Thanks for the review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
hard to imagine not using my scuff envision but this has had my eye for a bit
How do you like the envision? Do you have the pro or regular
I could hear your thumbnail thanks for the dose of nostalgia 😄
That’s what I was goin for lol.
I'm still using my Guliking King Kong Pro 2, it has been awesome. When I upgrade I'll definitely switch to this one.
Welp this was all I need to know. I'll have to pick this up. Thanks for the intel on this one. Looks like it gets me damn close to my Xbox elite series 2.
Thank you so much for this video kind stranger. At last I can stop buying a new controller every 3 months!
Blue highlight, I love❤
Love your videos! next video on the FlyDigi Apex 4 please 😂
I got you!
FYI The Gulikit Goku adapter works on this controller just like the KK2. I have been using it on Xbox with 'X-input' no problem. The Brook XB2 adapter was only pairing in Bluetooth mode (as stated in the video) which was way laggy in comparison. Seeing that the Goku adapter is normally just $20, it is a great essential add-on if you want to use this controller on either Xbox or PlayStation.
The mayflash magic x adapter works as well.
Can you feel the difference in latency compared to using on pc
There is a goku video on this channel which he claims no you do not feel anything if you are not crazy competetive @@123hgh
If they fix the d pad it would be damn near flawless. I have a pro 2 and love it, only issues I've had after about a year and a half of heavy use is connectivity and comfort. For some reason it would would only connect to my switch and no one else's. No issues on pc. The way I hold the controller rubs and grinds into my left middle finger and it hurts after long sessions. I'll definitely be picking one of these up, looks like a sick upgrade.
new intro big W
Awesome in-depth review, as always. Been thinking of getting this but the lack of clicky mechanical buttons and, that pre-travel on triggers is a bummer.
Currently, I'm rockin' the Easysmx x10 as my daily. It has less features than the KK3 but it's pretty hard to beat at 50$.
Thanks again, man.
I can't choose between Gamesir t4 Cyclone pro amd Easysmx mechanic master x10. How was the controller? Hiw long have been using it?
Can't speak about the Cyclone Pro, sorry. Been almost a month since I used the X10. So far, no issues encountered yet.
I also don't have a large collection of controllers but the X10's sticks have the smoothest rotations from controllers I've used, by far. (I have DS3, DS4, Dual Sense, XB 1, XB 360, KK2 Pro, SN30 Pro + and NS Pro)
Gamesir G7 SE is a very good controller to consider as well!
@@cujoman187 it's always sold out or out of stock in my country
pre travel is easily fixed with a shim. and the kk2 clicky buttons are able to be swapped in
the KK3 is a great intro to pro controllers
Thanks for the video,.For $80 is a damn good controller, fast/responsive sticks, looks great too, hopefully for their next controller the dpad, trigger stops and back paddles will be that bit better, other than that i agree for 80 it's definitely a buy for anyone.
Hey Mark. Hope You’ve been doing good. Yeah it’s a a great controller that won’t shred your wallet
Wait I’ve been watching ya vids but now I’m subscribed 😂😂😂
Now it’s official
@GamerHeavenOfficial
To prevent from having those massive outliers at the start, try spinning the sticks before you start the X-input app. This does require you to either spin the stick one handed (I lay the controller on my table and spin the analog stick with one hand) or you could use a macro to start the X-input app automatically after a few seconds while you're doing your two-handed technique.
Smart
@j.c.denton8735
Hey, can you tell me what happens if you stop spinning the stick and start to spin again? I am curious that the controller has a huge delay every time when you let the stick and move it again.
@@alexveres7339 maybe or would show correctly in process, but to be real, program shows 3000+ ms, it is more than 3sec, it's way too unrealistic, but i will try it later, I also have kk3, but with one broken stick, but it's not a problem for this test
I was going to suggest the same thing lol

love how much information including the title you provide without baiting. Much appreciated
Just curious though, is linux not supported? Seems strange when mac and android is.
I think it will work using PC mode. Most controllers really don't advertise their stuff working on Linux.

Finally, this controller has been reviewed. I want this controller when I got my money but at the same time, Flydigi Vader 3 Pro got a huge discount so I'm on the fence what to get
Flydigi mecha buttons are just so good. Much better than my razer wolverine. Recently my apex 2 got double click issue after 2 years. I know that this is the risk of using mouse switches. But i still ordered vader 3 as replacement cuz of how good the buttons are. Hope this one can last longer
@@maverichz i do hope the discount on the controller is still there when I get my money. I really want a capable controller for both pc and mobile
The Vader 3 Pro is known to have weak centering springs, that causes drift (yeah, in a Hall effect stick, go figure), So I wouldn't buy it. Way Overhyped for what it is.
@@avaraz6941 Yea, i know about it, QC issue happened to some ppl. But aside from drift, the buttons quality is not overhype. I own several controllers and the button feels of Flydigi mecha buttons are way above any others including Razer mecha buttons.
The button switches inside are membrane, not microswitch, so you can get the benefit of both types by disassembling the controller to change with the installation of the King Kong 2 Pro's replacement mechanical buttons. Additionally, the thumbsticks(even though they are a tight fit compared to the King Kong 2 Pro thumbsticks). Just some info where you didn't purchase or have those that I covered.
great review!! will you also bring out a review for the flydigi apex 4? been wondering if i should get the kk3 max or the apex 4
Cant wait to get my hands on that badboy for review!
Thanks for the review, looking to get one!.
I hope this is better than my kk2 pro, I was kinda dissapointed with it after 2 years of use.
My gripes with the original (apart from no back buttons and trigger stoppers that they obviously fixed)
Expecting to be the same:
No audio output (obvously the same)
The + and - are the start and back buttons, making them kinda akward to push mid game, if you are very accustomed to the xbox controller it takes a while to get use to but its ok.
The D-pad is HORRIBLE, its mushy and hard at the same time. Difficult to describe but horrible for long use.
The gyro sucks. Period
My right trigger started squeking like 4 months after I got it, had to lubricate the spring inside. The left was the same after 1 year.
My B-button started not registering the input after 8 months, has to disassemble the controller to clean the button
Oh and btw, if the joysticks are the same than kk2 pro, these sticks kinda suck for fighting games. Sometimes when performing and input and releasing the joystick, they snap back to the center with so much momentum that the game registers an input in the opposite direction (for instance, if you pull back and release, the game registers a forward input). Other than that, they are probably the best joysticks in the market ngl
Well the into is gas 🔥
Nice video man I just found your channel and subscribed. I do have a question which would you recommend for ps5 for playing games such as MW3 and other fps titles? I’m very interested in one with mechanical triggers. Thanks
Just got mine a week or so ago and I would say it is one of the best controllers I have ever tried (in my limited selection as I don't review them for a youtube channel :P). The only "issue" I would point out is the triggers (R2/L2) are spongy when in trigger mode and when in mechanical mode the distance needed to hit them issssss "alright" but it is a bit too much for proper feel imo.
Other than that so far I have had zero issues or concerns with the pad itself. Remapping the back buttons could be a touch simpler to do as it often turns on the "turbo" function of the button you are mapping to the back but turning that off is simple enough. gamepad tester reads the sticks as 0.0 error rate on both, all buttons can be hit and dont feel sticky like the kingkong pro 2's face buttons are.
Overall really nice controller.
I definitely wanna cop this piece
I love that phrase: cop that piece
Great review. Im assuming no rubber grip on the back? Thats always a disappointment but I still picked one up. Loved the KK Pro 2.
This controller is amazing. This is now my main controller coming from 8bitdo ultimate controller.
Tho I had firmware issue that I resolved by downgrading/upgrading the firmware.
Still, an amazing controller for the price. I already got two of these. 😅
I like the half-domes up top and the smaller paddles on the bottom. But with that said I don't map stuff to the half-domes that I use very much and intentionally want them a bit harder to press to avoid accidental presses.
In your honest opinion do you think this controller is better than the vader 3 pro? I mmostly play halo btw. Love your videos man keep up the good work. I have the vader 3 pro currently and found out about it through your videos.
Great as always we was need this review 💪
Witch adapter you used with Xbox?
The included with package or "Goku Wireless Controller Adapter"
Thank you my friend, the adapter I use on Xbox was the Xb2 it is linked in the description, you just have to scroll down a way. It should be labeled under Brooke accessories
My good sir, This or the Vader 3 pro for best 80 dollar controller? LOVE THE VIDS BTW CHIEF!!
That wireless speed is impressive
I just recently found this page and I gotta say, you do some amazing work. I currently have an elite series 2 but the bumpers keep breaking on me, I want to get different controller and this gulikit looks good. Would it be worth getting this to replace the series 2 ?? Could you possibly do a gulikit kk3 vs elite series 2 video??
Looking for a way to make wired connection/adapter work with MacOS, but the controller seems great so far.
Just got mine today, you can swap the thumbsticks out, just takes a little bit of force to pop them off. Amazon has replacement thumbsticks that include the taller right thumbstick.
I dont know if you already know or if someone already mentioned. But the reason you got the stickdrift out of the box is because the zero deadzone mode is turned on. I dont know why they did not include this setting in the manual. But the way you turn it on or off is the hold the wheel icon (as with every option) and the the suare icon thing , the left most button down in the middle. Your deadzone settings wil switch to -0.00002 or perfect deadzone inputs.
I got mine via ali express and some resellers ship them with 6 additionele thumbstick heights.
Great review again. Just wanted to say reason why I use the headphone jack on a controller is because I play on pc in a living room. So connecting a wired headset is a no-go and don’t want to use Bluetooth headphones. Could never get spatial Audio to work on Bluetooth and like small earbuds butter than over ear headphones
Finally but can you also do the flydigi apex 4 review please
Yes
Just ordered mine
Can you tell us your number 1 pick for a controller right now with no budget in mind. I've had the elite 2 and others and I'm looking at the Envision Pro after watching your review but, the missing haptic feedback is keeping me from getting it. So many options but what's the top dog at this point? Thanks for your contribution to the gaming community.
I just got my KK3 Max in the mail and tested it out for a little bit.
It IS an awesome controller, but my one maaaajor, deal-breaker gripe is that the back paddles stick out way too much.
You hold the controller in place by wrapping your fingers around the two handles. The back paddles force your ring/pinky fingers away from the handles quite a bit. Also, the plastic on the controller does feel pretty good, but there's no kind of rubberized grippiness on the handles at all.
These two things add up to a pretty loose grip on the controller, unfortunately.
Without the paddles, I can grip the controller just fine, and everything else feels great, but that's a major loss of functionality.
Also, ZL/ZR when set to digital are just okay... not great.
I also had my small-handed girlfriend try the controller, and she said she would only use the controller without any back paddles.
There are so many things this controller does right, but at the end of the day, if it's not comfortable to hold/use... I'm not going to enjoy using it.
I've briefly owned an Elite Series 2 Core controller with back paddles (that I bought separately), and that controller is, for my medium-sized hands, ergonomic perfection.
...I returned it to Amazon immediately because it kept on giving me missed/double inputs, but WHEN IT ACTUALLY WORKS... it's glorious.
Very nice review as usual! You say they do not have mechanical button, and they do feel like membrane, but on their webside they say it's their version 2 mechanical button.. so I wonder, are they lieing.. or it's some sort of hybrid like razer mechamembrane? About the thumbstick, they do have swapable thumbstick, but they are not included for some reason, you have to buy them separately.
I'm using a wolverine ultimate for my Xbox, a Razer Raiju for mobile/Gamepassing on my phone, and (depending on which is most charged when needed) either a Nitho hexa-something-or-other (I very much recommend this inexpensive, lightweight, and highly customizable controller. In the range of $20 to $30, you can't beat it's value) and a Ymir PS4 controller w/ turbo and remapable back buttons.
I had a defective kingkong pro 2 stick, it had drift and it squeaked/creaked and vibrated for a while before the drift started. I contacted their support email, mentioned I was capable of soldering a new stick on since they're identical to replacing any other stick. They replied quickly, and sent me a replacement part for free, they didn't even ask for a purchase date, a picture of the controller, or anything.
I had also experienced a weird issue with a joycon stick from them, where it would move from left to right incredibly quickly when viewed in the Switches joystick calibration page. I mentioned it in my correspondence with the customer service person, and they sent me one of these for free, as well.
10/10 customer service in my opinion, I've never had such a simple experience getting parts from a company before. I'll most likely buy this controller as well due to how they handled those issues
Great review! Can you map the back paddles to different buttons or are you stuck with copying the face buttons on PC?
Like can I map A/B/X/Y to numpad 1/2/3/4 and the back levers to numpad 5/6/7/8 or am I stuck with the levers also being 1/2/3/4?
Copying the face buttons unfortunately
Gotta say I have been extremely impressed with this controller, especially at it's price point of $80. Been using it for the last few days, I would say I like it as much if not more than my elite 2 and battle beaver custom controllers. Wish the trigger stops had a little less travel, and if I'm nitpicking the bend on the bottom two paddles is slightly odd, but it doesn't impact my comfort or gaming at all. The sticks feel great and the controller is very responsive overall. Thanks for the review.
BTW I got it on Aliexpress because I was tired of waiting for it on Amazon. Got it in about two weeks and everything is fine but I would have rather went the Amazon route as the seller there seems to be very active on Reddit and appears to offer really good customer support.
Would love to know if the elite paddles or scuf paddles for the elite work at all on this! Great review as always!
Hey DC. Thanks for that, no unfortunately neither work with the mechanism to snap in the paddles
Just received mine, I did notice that on your complaint about the rear paddles, you can swap the paddles to the opposite side so the cutout faces up, they don't stick out as far from the controller. It feels much better to me that way. I was also wondering how you would compare this to the vader 3 pro, which seems to have many similar features for the same $.
Well, answering my own question, I feel like my Vader 3 pro is a MUCH better controller than the kk3. Actual mechanical buttons, sticks are the only redeeming quality for the kk3, but the Vader sticks are still really good. I prefer having software so kk3 on board programming just isn't good enough. So for me, I'm keeping the Vader 3 pro and if your looking for an $80 pro controller the Vader 3 pro seems to be the best option out currently for me as a PC gamer.
@@jefftaylor9250I have been looking at both and prefer the look of the Gulikit, the vader looks so cheap, will also be used just on the pc and am really just looking for good hall effect joysticks, do you also have a vader?
Awesome review. Currently I am using a XBox Series Core 2. Bought it back in November and it was having issues staying connected to my PC so I exchanged it out for another Series Core 2. This one stays connected but seems to have a mind of it's own when I am playing games. If I am trying to look around a room or area while I am playing a game, and I am using the left stick to do this, the entire room will just start spinning in circles for about 30 seconds to a minute and then stop and then I can continue again. Not sure if this is what they call "Stick Drift" as I am new to PC gaming. But it shouldn't happen saying the control is only 2 months old. I am wanting to try out a different controller to see if it fixes my issue. Would you recommend this Gulikit KK3 or the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra? Thanks.
Yeah the rear paddles left me wanting more. And I thought EXACTLY the same thing...vice grip...heat...and bend. Cant wait for your bend video! My paddle config is the domes up top and the stock top ones on bottom flipped around. Works best. Not that good though . She alright for 80 bucks. Better than the e2. The sticks are amazing.
Right on brother
Possibly stupid question. Could you even swap elite series 2 back paddles on this? I have an elite series 2 I love and hate that it has dreadful input delay. I got a turtle beach stealth recently which has been dreadful to get used to back paddle wise.
So I definitely will get this and use the back paddle setup in this video. But I wonder if it’ll let elite series 2 paddles in.
@joeyjuiice they will not. The paddle ends are different shapes. Xbox too big to fit in kk3 max holes
Keep it up 👍
You got it Skyrim
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Your content is great
You deserve all the support :)
i am waiting for replacement of my KK3. Hall effect sensor on right stick or control chip or maybe something else was broken. It won't even calibrate lol. QC on this one isn't that great, maybe it's because of first batch for pre orders.
But you are wrong about stick caps, they are hot swapable and replaceble. Gulikit sells them separately.
Also u can set -0.00002 dead zone by pressing gear + square with circle
Thank you for sharing
I really just wish that the controller case had the room for the back paddles to stay ON! Crazy that you have to remove them everytime you want to put the controller away
Now all we need is a symetrical stick version, and I'll be happy. [I play FFXIV, The dpad above is a lot more accessible during moving w/ the left stick vs asymetrical.
Nice review. My favorite part is all the talking about meats and inner meats.
Switch players - are you liking this or 8bitdo Ultimate? I was really looking forward to this for the digital trigger stops - but everyone has lukewarm opinions at best on it and that's being kind. Most people think it's bad implementation.
😂 I prefer this over the 8bit ultimate personally
I'm partial to the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro for Switch play. Haven't checked the KK3 yet though.
I like the kk for it's size my hands are big and the ultimate is smaller and cramps my fingers after long play which sucks plus kk has way better vibration. Other then that I think the 8bit is superior for switch if those two things don't affect you.
@@rahndail3863 I'm interested in switching to kk3 from the ultimate because of the trigger stop. But seeing the vader 3 pro is doing a much better job, I might consider that, although the vader is ugly as hell.
There are quite a few latency issues reported on Reddit about it. Polling rate =! Latency response. What this means is that it's consistent but the delay is about 15ms from each of those 1000 inputs, which is terrible.
Plus extremely high triggers dead zone! Feels like 30% I returned this controller very disappointed. Other fact is thumbs dead zone. You have 2 options. One is raw 0 and second 10% feels like. It is a big gap. When people start to use it they will find out it is not worth it
The guy just said it’s 1ms… so I guess Reddit is wrong ?
input delay does not equal polling rate. Normally they are related, but not always 1:1 @@Jinkle
Looks like one of the top 2 modern controllers.
Having all the configuration on the controller is a must for me, being a non-Windows user. Hall Effect sticks are also a must - I've had enough of stick drift with the other low-quality modern controllers.
I would prefer rear buttons over paddles. I also don't like the Switch-first layout and as you say, the dpad isn't the best. Also would really like the rear buttons to be remappable to anything, not just other buttons on the controller. But no controller gets that right, so can't complain too much.
Going off your reviews, I think for me the only controllers worth considering are this one here and the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra that's $120 more expensive. Neither seem worth buying until my KK2 dies though. With any luck Valve will make a Steam Controller 2 by then for an even better experience. The original is still my most used controller.
Great work on the video! Can you map the back paddles to a keyboard key?
Thank you my friend, unfortunately reWASD and Steam don’t allow you to remap to keyboard bindings, but hopefully with an update
I bought a KKP2 thanks to this channel and I love it!
I'm seeing this manual and noticing they removed Pro Mode and trigger sensitivity options.
Trigger is whatever, but Pro mode was important. The KKP2 had a fake deadzone in PC by default that was awful and caused cursors to jump once you got outside of it. I removed the stick deadzone and set custom deadzones in Steam to get around this BUT it only saved the settings in Pro Mode, otherwise I have to redo my Vibration and Stick settings every time I turn it on.
So with no Pro mode, does this just save settings automatically, or do I have to redo them every time I turn it on?
That's cool that I got a heart, but can I get an answer????
That's much more valuable to me.

Question does the motion sensor works on this controller when playing FPS games on Xbox series X/S when using the wingman converter?
Is the Goku Adapter the best option for console compatibility for the KK3 Max?
I want to love this controller but I've had some glaring issues with mine within 50ish hours of use. I only play Rocket League with the controller and I am maybe a bit rougher with my controllers than a casual player but I still take care of my electronics. The first problem I noticed was that the analog sticks would start to come off during play. You can pull them off yourself but they shouldn't be coming off just from heavy use. So I find myself pushing them down frequently to keep them in place. I've considered glueing or putting loctite on the stem to secure them but haven't resorted to that yet. The other major issue I have just noticed today is that the rear buttons have already start to become mushy and are now getting stuck in the actuated position. This is the worst part because I really liked the placement of the half-domes and the feedback from using them but unfortunately the rear buttons were not designed to last. If you plan on using the rear buttons a lot I would not recommended this controller. I love everything else about the controller and have had no other issues but I will have to return mine because it was not built for someone that games a lot.
Thanks a ton for sharing your experience! 50 hours with this controller is a lot
Yeah honestly it's probably closer to low 40ish hours, but I do play a lot. I might try and get a replacement and try once more because I really enjoy the Hall Effect sensors. I think maybe my stick issue is a QA problem but I think the switches on the rear are doomed to fail quickly, especially if you are holding down the paddles/half-domes while you play (I have boost and air roll bound on my paddles which are actions I often hold for an extended time)@@GamerHeavenOfficial
Woooooo yeah baby
Ok I have been using this controller for a few days now! over all its super solid! the only real issue I have found is the triggers are truly terrible. the trigger stops feel nasty, and the triggers themselves wobble around. when you press it, it kind of feels like there is a cottonball made out of fiber class crunching in the trigger. I still think its a super good deal for under 100, but if they fix the triggers it will be a true game changer. Also I got some crappy joystick caps with mine that the controller captain didnt get in his package.
Would be really cool if you did a controller tier list! One for PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch. Or whichever way you think is best to organize it.
Thank you for this one. I’m not sure about the purchase as my main gaming platform is Xbox and I don’t trust the converters with the way Microsoft has been treating that subject recently in the news. Even if the bro adapter works I feel like it’s a matter of time before it will not. I wish this company would make this controller in a dedicated Xbox version. 💫

What do you think, which controller is best to choose considering its performance in FPS games like Apex? I've been playing on a PS4 controller so far, but I'm missing the paddles... I've already ordered the Elite 2, but I'm wondering if it's the best option considering the technology, input lag, reliability, and overall gaming performance. Regrades
What do you think the best controller is? As in bang for your buck and great hardware? it really doesn't matter what console just great controller.
I wanted so much to like this controller but the back paddle just isnt nearly as comfortable as the elite series 2 with scuf paddles.
Damn. Kind of a bummer about the triggers and the back paddles being subpar. Was gonna pick this up but think I'm gonna stick with my elite series 2.
Wouldn't it be suuuuuuper dope if one or two of these companies just sent you a prototype to test and give feedback on before going into full production? This one seems so close to the goal of all the desired pro controller features for < $100. Just fix the weirdo triggers and a few degrees on the paddles. Nothing major just a couple tweaks and boom. Perfect.
I'm finding after switching from my elite series 2 the criticism of the back paddles on the guli kit is a more than picky. If you use ring finger for the bottoms and middle for the top its very similar to elite. For $80 with hall effect sticks (0 deadzone) and only 1ms input delay, shits fire. Of course the elite paddles feel better but its not uncomfortable like all the youtube reviews make it seem.
Is the stick really not removeable? KK2 does have removeable thumbstick although you need to buy it as separate accessories so I assume this controller is like that. If it is removable, can you check whether KK2 stick fit in there? also probably test whether the button for KK2 is compatible for this controller. I want to test it myself but it is in preorder and probably arriving at the end of February.
The main appeal for me would be the half-dome paddles, which I find very comfortable on the Dualsense Edge. Would you say they fit well on this controller despite the difference in ergonomics as compared to the Edge?
To me I feel they do. I found it best to have paddles on the bottom, half domes up top. The half domes are noticeably harder to press in than the paddles, my guess is because they have less leverage but still not bad. I find them comfortable.
Yes they transfer over well
The thumb stick caps ARE swap-able. In fact, the thumb sticks for the KK2 actually DO fit. It's a little snug. You've gotta push pretty hard to seat them, but they do interchange. Unfortunately, they've been out of stock on Amazon for several months. Also, the KK3 does have a "Dead Zone Mode", and it's enabled the same way it is on the KK2. Press the gear/cog button and the capture button, to enable/disable. While the dead zone on the KK2 is huge, (and thus undesirable) on the KK3 it's tiny (I'd say it's perfect). When you release the sticks, you will see all zeros on Gamepad Tester. But as soon as you touch either stick, the input registers. So, for KK2 I say no dead zone mode. But for KK3 you want it enabled. And for some reason, there is no mention of this mode in the KK3 manual.
damn, 1000hz polling rate out of the box, here we gooooo :D
