Mine got BRICKED because if you want to update the firmware, there are 2 separate firmwares and, no kidding, if you update them on the wrong order your controller is totaled, Gulikit support could not help me at all. Other than that, it has all the switch pro controller functions and has the same shape as the best shaped controller, so it has that

[@MrSujano]

Pinning this for people who end up updating the firmware. Thanks for the tip!

[@persechini]

@@MrSujano There are warnings on the instructions, but it's poorly worded and once you glance at it and understand one firmware it's a simple updater app and the other is a drag and drop file, you kinda skip it

[@ddga113]

What is the correct order then?

[@SLightningHedgehog]

​@@ddga113 the process is as follows: FIRST download the drag and drop NS09 V3.9 firmware, turn your controller off then connect it to your PC via the USB-C cable. next press the APG Button (the lowest button with the two squares) and the A button at the same time to open the internal storage of the controller. next drag ONLY the ns09 file into the folder of your controller and let it do it's thing, it will close when it's done. test if your controller is working so far and NEXT download the CPU1 v1.12 Firmware and unzip it in it's own folder. pull out the cable and make sure your controller is off again, then plug it in again using your USB-C cable. click on the Updater .exe file and wait for the Programm to open. This time press the set. button (the one with the gear on it in the middle) and the A button at the same time and the update button should become clickable. click on it and wait for it to finish. after that you can unplug, restart and reconnect your controller. Congratz you have now safely updated your controller. Note: I tested it on the King Kong 2 Pro NS09 Version of the controller and can confirm that my controller is still fully functional. Cheers!

[@ddga113]

@@SLightningHedgehog Thank you for the guide! This will work on the NS08 (non-pro version), right?

[@okanut]

Great review! I've had this controller for a couple of months and I love it! I did initially get a unit with grindy joysticks, but returning that got me one that's great.

[@MrSujano]

Ah good to know, thanks!

[@echaglund]

This is by far the best and most honest review I've seen. I'm definitely considering buying one now.

[@NexZu-]

Seems nice, if it had back buttons it would be a instant sell for me. But these days back button just feel like a most for me.

[@jeancn]

Yeah, that is also a deal breaker for me..

[@combogema1741]

Nice review! You earned a sub. I hope the big guns will learn from gulikit and do some work with their controllers especially the drifting and batt life

[@Mangomesh]

I am looking for a new controller to replace my aged Xbox 360 controller, still searching and I just want to thank you for making this honest review for the KingKong 2 Pro Mr. Sujano.

[@ov3rkill]

Interesting to see so many positive reviews on this controller.

[@MrSujano]

I can assure you I was free to say whatever I wanted about the product. It's the only way I'll agree to do a review. This controller was A LOT better than I was expecting

[@SRC267]

@@MrSujano I'm thinking of getting it so I came back to this review, the Elite Core is too expensive and it lacks the electromagnetic analogue. My only concern is the trigger comfort and rumble quality

The first video I have seen about an in-depth review of a controller.... I'm impressed with your presentation.... Also I want to now why some Android controller on market don't work with mediatek phones

[@arvinzain9366]

Great video as always! I like the fact that you always does a fair and honest review. By the way, i just want to know are you prefer 8bitdo pro 2 or this?

[@libardomm.trasimaco]

I just bought the 8Bitdo but the controller is too small. It feel very uncomfortable is your hands are big. Its sad, because everything else of that controller is just fine.

[@moremetafeta]

I think long-term reliability, relating to design, and/or quality control may be an issue with this controller. We just got this controller a few days ago, and initially it worked, but after playing Mario Kart on the Switch for under two hours the ZR trigger switch started to fail to register, and started to physically stick. We are two adult gamers in a no kid household, and it was babied, recalibrated, and the latest NS09 V4.0 firmware update was applied. I recommend a longer term test, or testing an anonymously purchased product that isn't a review sample, for a more relevant review for consumers.

[@MrSujano]

Whoa, thanks for that info. I tested mine out for a few weeks before recording the video, and it's still going strong. I may have to take a look at a non-review sample. Thanks

[@moremetafeta]

@@MrSujano Update:I am really really wanting to like this controller, with it's Hall effect sensors, and great controller precision and but after receiving a new advanced replacement for the other controller with the stuck ZR trigger, and attempting to set it up, the controller will not pair to our Nintendo Switch, by either using the wireless or wired methods. Right now I"m on the fence between just returning the controller for a refund, or reaching out to their email support and requesting a new unit that might be part of a better production batch. The spread of one and two star Amazon reviews also looks disproportionately high for a product that has good QA or design, and many of these bad reviews are recent.

[@moremetafeta]

Update to the update: I was eventually able to pair the controller wirelessly in the control grips menu section. I think it was in some sort of weird state before. I cycled through ll the controller modes and then was able to pair it with the Nintendo Switch. The unit was on the current firmware version v4.0 when I was experiencing these pairing issues.

[@conyo985]

The soft touch plastic worries me. Soft touch plastic melts overtime. I've had a gaming mouse that it's soft touch coating melt and it was a pain to clean it. And it was gross touching it.

[@jucalyun2099]

A daily dose of Mr. Sujano❤️‍🔥

[@Renegade0056]

I just got this controller as an Xmas present and although it's a good controller... The Brooke Xbox Adapter SE on my Elite 2 controller is a way better combo IMO. The Elite 2 is a much better build off the bat and the adapter can be switched to another controller if the original dies, unlike the KingKong2 if it dies you have to purchase another complete controller. The only thing I see as a pro for the KingKong2 are the hall effect sticks but so far I've had no problems with drift on the Elite 2.

[@lesterhudson3990]

Thanks for the detailed review Mr.S!! Fairly decent controller it would seem to me!! 😁

[@Varmth]

What app is that at 6:12 ? Someone reply please

[@Mangomesh]

Sounds like the battery is built in just like a PS4 controller?

[@retrohandhelds]

Fantastic controller, great vid!

[@kingupright]

Great tutorial can't wait for more 😀

[@ruffierniert]

I saw in the gulikit store that you can buy different analog stick and xbox button alignment without disassembling the controller.

[@westsidearea4314]

How is this compared to the 8bitdo Pro 2. I'm thinking of this and that controller. All rounded gaming for me

[@LordKaiser003]

I wish there was one for PS4 /PS5. I can use a controller with magnetic sensors on the thumb sticks. Also a Dual shock 3 version for those that still have a PS3.

[@itzdcx7991]

You can still use this controller on it I'm doing right now complete game changer it's so smooth

[@eleighdelosangeles4108]

@@itzdcx7991 hi how do you pair it on a ps4?

[@perforongo9078]

...but you didn't mention why someone would want to buy the Switch Pro controller over this controller. It seems to me like it has benefits over the Switch with no extra downsides for the same price. I already own a Switch Pro controller, and I have only managed to get it to work on my Switch. I can't get it to work on my PC at all, and I tried my best. The ability to switch input modes from Xinput to Switch really peaked my interest. The Switch Pro controller doesn't have that at all.

[@HeyRogers]

This would be all around perfect if it had back buttons

[@munnumkhalid]

The next model will have it.

[@tahzib1451]

they did market this as a no stick drift ever gamepad - which is their main selling point

[@AliasWasTaken]

Hello, which firmware versions are you using? I have more input latency and i would like to update my firmware to the exact version you used in this video.

[@michaelbermijo9256]

I know its a bit late, but how do you use the gyro on NS08 on PC? I tried every setting I could find but I can't seem to make it work. Any guides?

[@MrMartellSincere]

I got the original Gulikit King Kong Pro Controller & Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian edition from last year with a $500 Amazon gift card from T-Mobile. I am loving how well it holds up and it stands alongside next to my official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

[@itzdcx7991]

I have been using this on my Xbox, PS5 and PC😂 Shame on Sony like seriously these things are seriously good I just wish it had extra button hopefully they make a another upgraded version This is literally one of the best controller

Great review man! By the way, does the rumble function also work on the Switch?

The same controller that I had started of with bad gyroscope delay, I calibrated it but it’s still has some delay. Does anything know how to fix it?

[@existentialselkath1264]

I wonder if it's possible to mod these joysticks into a normal xbox controller. That'd be perfect.

[@donny7421]

I got one yesterday and it's a great controller. However after 4 hours + of playing I noticed it gets dirty quickly from your hands. I got sweaty hands btw. Does anyone know if the silicon covers for the XB fits with this controller? Really love to not push a cotton with alcohol every time I use it to avoid cover detoriation.

[@prettywhenicry6363]

When I use it on the switch it doesn't let me use the X button. I need to press the R bumper first in order to use the X button. Anyone know why?

[@ChineseNinjaWarrior]

No retailer in east europe. Only online order. Do they have symethric analog like ps?

Since the controller uses hal sensors, is it ok to store my gulikit king kong 2 pro with my other electronics? Will the magnetic field harm my other electronics?

[@prayitnowignjopranoto5444]

What about repairability/availability of spare parts ? I know it says drift-free advertised but technically speaking there is no such thing, correct ? Maybe this will last longer than the rest but not drift-free. Everything will drift eventually. Like xbox360 pads, there are a lot of spare parts online , therefore if you break it and want to attempt repair it is doable. What about the kingkong pad ?

[@rocky-zx6kq]

You can find their hall effect joystick they're selling and they have some modding accessories too

[@aeonfox2376]

I bought this one which arrived today. I am also contemplating about buying XB or DS controllers over this one. But with the tech of this controller which are removable/replaceable hall sticks, replaceable buttons, it becomes my top choice.

[@javierpr787]

Y forgot, the mechanical switches and programable trigger’s, … is the best controller right now…

[@SodaGumX]

nobody mentions if rumble works

[@onion_____]

i hate these 'yes/no' answers when reviewing a sponsored product

[@unclegoose3864]

I think the main reason to get these are the Hall sensor analog sticks they use.

I was surprised that he didn’t go over this. This was the main selling point as to why I decided to buy this after two of my switch procons got drift

When he did that snapback test and it locked dead on center every time I was sold immediately. I am hoping this will be my new Smash controller.

Since it’s supposed to work for iOS I want to see someone use it on one of their devices. Also does any phone grip fit on it. Really didn’t want to have to buy ANOTHER controller but the Fusion Pro Wireless won’t connect to my phone. And they should go back to the hard zipper case. The plastic one looks terrible. The face buttons should be hot swap too. Hopefully they got rid of the burs on the stick caps that make the sticks get stuck.

I just got this controller and I really got to say When finding a Gyro Nintendo Switch pro with Analog Triggers I jumped for it right away!!. I am an (All Out Racing Gamer!).. Mx-Bikes really is a sensitive throttle game and Forza Horizon 4 and 5 racing game. Took me a while to find where the APG button is. I seen it's the vary bottom button that looks like Minimize and Maximize description. And I thought the Windows Mode was the first lit, light up mode light with the D under the description but I found out it's the second to last (3rd), The one next to last. When I seen under my windows 11, under Devices and Printers, it comes up as Xbox 360 Controller and Under it's properties ..When I seen the Slider Triger bars I was happy. I have not tried Mx-Bikes yet because that game really is a vary sensitive Throttle Trigger and Tires can spin a lot in Forza Horizon 4 and 5 game.

[@rickyrolls6460]

can you use this on pc ?

[@KatRollo]

English user manuals from Chinese companies are often poorly worded/translated and not reviewed, so you end up with broken English. In certain instructions where steps are sensitive and must be precise, this becomes a problem. The firmware update method is poor. A dedicated app is always better for controllers.
