The GuliKit KingKong 2 is a game controller released by GuliKit.
The KingKong 2 has GuliKit's own patented, contactless electromagnetic hall-effect joysticks that are long-lasting compare to the potentiometer joysticks on other controllers. In addition, the right face buttons has GuliKit's own mecha-membrane switches, providing the tactile feel to the face buttons. The built-in rechargeable lithium battery can last up to 25 hours on a full charge.[1]
The controller can switch between XInput mode, Switch mode, Mobile mode and DirectInput mode by holding down the mode button for 2 seconds. It support most games in XInput mode an DirectInput mode without the need of 3rd-party wrappers. Switch Mode turns the analog triggers into digital triggers and requires 3rd-party wrappers to support additional features like motion control and, on KingKong 2 Pro, NFC reader. As it is a third-party controller with normal rumble motors, HD rumble is not supported.
