This is superior to everything! - GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro Controller

The video provides a thorough hands-on look at the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro Controller, focusing on what makes it stand out in a crowded field of cross‑platform gamepads. The host begins with an overview of the product’s goals, highlighting durability and cross‑compatibility, then compares its exterior design to familiar controllers while noting practical quirks like the lack of a charging pass‑through in the included case and a hinge that could be fragile over time. A core technical claim is explained in detail: the KingKong 2 Pro uses hall effect joysticks instead of traditional potentiometer pots, which, according to the presenter, should dramatically reduce drift and extend joystick life. The unboxing reveals the included accessories, a USB‑C cable, firmware updates, and a sour note about native Xbox compatibility that only comes via a third‑party dongle, while still offering broad cross‑platform options. The host then delves into how the controller behaves across platforms, including D input, X input, Android and iOS modes, and the Nintendo Switch orientation that targets Switch players who want to spare their joysticks from wear. The segment concludes with a teaser of the gyroscope, Amiibo tapping, and the overall packaging experience, setting up a deeper dive into performance later in the video.
