I’ve been eyeing the 8bitdo Pro 2 for a while now for using on my PC, Android, and Switch. But then I saw that Gulikit was available locally as well at almost the same price.
I’m interested in the Gulikit because of the supposedly better joystick durability due to the hall effect joysticks.
Thoughts on these two controllers?
Any glaring issues I should know about?
Also I know both of these controllers don’t support PS5, but it would be a plus if there’s some way to use it on a ps5 as well.
I only have the gulikit so I can only give you my opinion on that. The controller feel extremely well built, I like it more than the switch pro controller after some mantainance. I used it for the switch and PC with no noticeable lag on Bluetooth, they do have a 2.4ghz dongle.
There are problems with my when I got it. The gyroscope and joysticks need to be calibrated and one of the abxy button slightly binds on press. Have to take it apart and lube it.

Warranty wasn’t available?
How easy was it to fix yourself? (if you’ve taken apart any play station joysticks, how would it compare to those?)
Got it from online store, not worth the trouble to ship it back since this is quite a quick fix.
Never taken apart a PS controller but this is quite easy to take it apart
