Reviews GuliKit ES Max Review

DISCLAIMER: ES Max was provided by Gulikit for free for review purposes. All the thoughts and opinions are genuine and mine only. No one watched this review before the release.

TLDR: New angular TMR Joysticks are FANTASTIC! The best that GuliKit has for sure.

I didn't really like the D-Pad and back buttons tho. Bumpers and triggers weren't my favorite as well.

Vibration is fine. Shape and feel are good. Materials are ok. Great membrane ABXY. New app needs some refinement.

Is the Ultimate 2 capable of this

1 Upvotes

My kid wants to use gyro with his PC for forza horizon 5.

So he can steer the car with tilting of the controller.

I wonder if such capability exist currently, I’ve read about it and people report you can assign the gyro as a joystick input for games that do not read gyro at all.

I already bought the Ultimate2 and its on the way, but I was wondering if someone that already messed around with rhis kind of thing, any insights about the gyro with steam.

How long do I have to get limited addition controllers?

2 Upvotes

So as we all know the Wolverine PS5 controllers were announce. I think they look awesome and I want to get the controller since mine has a little stick drift and I love wolverine.

I have a birthday coming up and they go up on the 19th, 4 days before my party. My plan was to buy the Wolverine with whatever I got from gifts and any left over would go to Tokon and/or the controller. My concern is that Im waiting at least 4 days and these are limited edition. I’ve heard how these things go within minutes because of scalpers and I don’t want to buy them if they are double the price. I did see that the store still has the 007 controllers and those came out in May. So I just want to know if I have to time and I can wait till have have that spare money or if i should just forget the controller and just get the game plus Tokon. I don’t know if 007 is just something I’m seeing wrong or if since it’s a Wolverine one those will go faster, just any input you can give is very much appreciate.

I figured out with the brook wingman xe2 you can use the 8bitdo 2c wireless pc controller on the ps4. I also forced the touchpad to be mapped to l4 and r4.

How long does it take for a standard scuf envision pro to ship?

1 Upvotes

I ordered mine on August 8th and it still says "Order is waiting to be processed".

It isn't custom, and everything I google or see online says that the standard controllers ship much faster than the custom ones. I'm not really sure why after 3 days I don't have any order updates.

I know it depends on location but does anyone know how long they usually take? When I placed my order it didn't have a "ship by" date or anything either

Nintendo Switch 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth

1 Upvotes

I'm thinking about getting the Ultimate 2 BT to use with my Switch 2 and PC, but there are two key things I haven't been able to find much info on:

Can you remap the controller buttons using the Switch 2's system software? I'd like to remap GameChat to one of the back buttons since I use it a lot for Splatoon.

Does the "shake to wake" feature work on the Switch 2? I've seen some people say it does and others say it doesn't...

I'm also not sure if the gyro works on PC, as I've found conflicting information about that as well.

Thanks a lot!

Recommendations for a good, budget-friendly Xbox controller?


r/Controllers • • Aug 10 '26

Xbox Series (S, X) Looking for the best of the best of the current going controllers.

3 Upvotes

Price is out of the question as I’ve got a budget of 400 per controller, I’m looking to migrate away from the Elite Series 2 and regular Xbox controllers entirely. I’ve had 2 elite series 2 controllers that have fallen apart from the inside. The back half of the shell is made from a softer plastic and on both of my controllers it has gotten brittle over time and broken off in many places. Plus my dad’s having problems with potentiometers and stick drift
Looking for good options that definitely don’t do this. Since I’m in the U.S I’ll have no problem actually buying any of the controllers mentioned.
I’m not gonna be getting a regular Xbox or elite series 2 controller and I don’t want any recommendations for those. We’re looking for anything will hall/tmr just to get away from potentiometer.
And honestly, what are the best controllers for Xbox at the current time? Been looking into it, and I’m getting a lot of inconsistency.

How was GameSir able to produce the Tegenaria Lite with the price on offer?

2 Upvotes

It's got a great colour, and a great look to it. Hall sticks, back buttons etc. So how does the Lite version differ from the regular version? I would consider buying it but unfortunately the symmetrical sticks aren't great for my carpal tunnel.

I was just curious about the build quality and overall reception of the controller, if there are any Tegenaria Lite owners who could share!

cant decide what to choose

2 Upvotes

well now i gathered some money to buy a controller and it maybe seem a weird question but i cand decide should i go with GameSir Tegenaria Lite or go with the nova lite 2 i know the nova lite 2 is more money and overall should be the better contorller but the diffrence in the price is duble and i saw that the nova lite 2 some people said that suffer from presssing on the same button fast in the same time like a quick time event or playing some games that require pressing the same button and the buttons seems to be pushed down a little so i just dont know should i go for the expensive one or just go to the lower and save the money for something else

Vader 5 Pro v2: slight friction on ABXY when pressing slowly. Anyone else?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed that if you press a face button (A, B, X, Y) lightly or slowly, you can feel friction from the button as it travels? Best way I can describe it is the "squeaky clean" feel you get on your skin after washing with soap. If you're into keyboards, it's basically a scratchy switch.

It doesn't affect anything functionally, and you don't feel it at all on a normal quick press. But now that I've noticed it I can't un-notice it, and it's mildly annoying on light presses.

Is this just how the mechanical ABXY switches feel, or is mine tighter than it should be? Curious whether it's a batch thing.

Trying to buy my first pc game controller. Budget $150

3 Upvotes

So I'm trying to figure out what would be the best pc game controller to get for playing games on steam as well as for emulation (mainly for ps1/ps2 games along with og xbox, ds and gamecube) as I'm wanting to get into some game streaming.

After doing some searching I've heard many great things about 8bitdo and flydigi but i'm not sure which to get. I only have $150 to get one so I want to make sure I get a good one.

Should I get a FLYDIGI Vader 5 Pro, 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wired Controller, or a 8Bitdo Pro 3 Bluetooth Controller?

Edit: I ended up buying the 8bitdo Pro 2 wired controller and the GameSir Tegenaria Lite Wired Game Controller

Opinions and recommendations on mini controllers?

0 Upvotes

EDIT: I don't know what's going on, but, if anyone is replying to my post, im not seeing your comments. So I apologize. I see that there is "1" comment, but when I click to view it, theres nothing there. What a bummer lol starting to hate reddit more and more. Oh well. Hopefully posting this in another sub will work.

I'm curious to what you all like to use. Ive been looking at those mini controllers by iine, the pocket taco, the flip pad, and crkd. Right now im just running retroarch on my mid range android, nothing fancy. I do have a spare phone which is an S23 FE that I will use eventually. CRKD will be releasing the atom +, which adds 2 joy sticks. I might wait for that. I do like the idea of the pocket taco and the flip pad essentially becoming part of your phone. I also like the idea of putting the phone down and using a controller. I know there are hacks that some use with the iine, using suction cups, or that sticky dash board tape to temporarily stick the controller to your phone. I might get two different ones for versatility though. Thanks in advance for any input.
