The best price I could see on the drift free controller. Price comes to $81.86 delivered after clicking Buy Now. I couldn't get any codes to work with it.

A good option to go with the recent Nintendo Switch deal. Possibly a better deal than the $79 Switch Pro Controller (https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01N4ND1T2) which can get drift.

    94 from Gamory on eBay (with PLUSFLASH1) code. Was actually cheaper than that ~82. Looks like they bumped the price recently

      Gamory eBay put up the price from $91.95 to $103.95 on 21 Oct 2022. I had it on my watch list but disappointed in their price jack up

    This vs 8Bit Do Ultimate?

    • Magicmagic on 01/11/2022 - 23:25

      8Bit Do is supposed to be better for 2D games as the layout is different. I've gone for the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro as it is a similar layout to the Switch Pro and drift free so will last a lot longer than all the other brand controllers

      The 8BitDo grips look a bit funky from the front, so I'll be curious how it feels in the hand. Reviews seem positive though!

      Outside of that, both have hall-effect joysticks, both are well built. 8BitDo has no flex to it thanks to the internal skeleton piece.

      Both have 3.7v 1000mAh batteries, should last for similar times (though switch pro controller battery is 1300mAh, and far easier to replace, and easier to find replacements!)

      8BitDo d-pads are usually built to emulate Nintendo's NES/SNES controllers so they're the best third party out there if you're after ultimate d-pad experiences.

      The 8BitDo has a bit more grip to it, though the GuliKit is plenty grippy.

      8BitDo has the charge cradle, that doesn't require plugging in anything into the controller itself. The PS5 controller does this, and I wish others would follow suit. Honestly, for me, this would be the singular reason I pick the 8BitDo over the GuilKit.

      The GuliKit has hall-effect ZL/ZR triggers, but honestly given ZL/ZR on nintendo consoles aren't analog it doesn't matter too much if the Switch is your use for it.

      Honestly either are great choices. If you don't want to plug and unplug a cable from your controller to charge it, get the 8BitDo. Otherwise, grab whatever's cheapest. Honestly I'd pick either over a pro controller too (unless there's a custom version you love).

      Repair-ability wise, 8BitDo is slightly easier to open, but honestly, neither will present a challenge if you have ever used a screwdriver.

      The battery is soldered in on the 8BitDo (and looks to be a custom size? I can't find anything on a 951860 size battery), whereas the GuliKit uses a 3.7v 1000mAh 803040 battery with standard connectors. Good for finding replacements down the line.

      8BitDo use a separate PCB for the button inputs, I doubt you'll be able to buy a replacement but re-creating it would be simpler (though, at that point, just buy a new controller….)

      Rumble motors look standard on both and don't require soldering to replace.

      Joysticks aren't on easy-to-replace modules like the Steam Deck, but given they're both hall-effect you shouldn't need to replace them (at least not for drift!)

        but honestly given ZL/ZR on nintendo consoles aren't analog it doesn't matter too much if the Switch is your use for it.

        They arent analogue on Nintendo controllers - but the console itself DOES accept analog triggers. It's up to game developers whether they code support for analog triggers (only a few borher, so only a small number of games actually use them), but the system itself does support them.

          Only via GameCube controller. Any third party controller will read as a Pro Controller, therefore only accept trigger inputs as digital. The only way around this is if you remap the analog stick to the triggers via third party software (i.e. the 8bitdo Pro software) for games that support the analog stick for acceleration (that in itself limits the pool to basically Grid and Trials)

          • caprimulgus on 02/11/2022 - 16:24

            @Ninternet: Yeah. But that is consistent with what I wrote, right? ;)

            Was just clarifying that the system itself does support analog triggers. (Not necessarily all!)

            I can see you might have interpreted my comment as suggesting that any analog trigger could work, but that is not what I meant. Sorry, I should have quoted only the first half of the sentence (ZL/ZR on nintendo consoles aren't analog), which is really what I was correcting.

            • Ninternet on 02/11/2022 - 21:24

              @caprimulgus: Yeah I understood your comment probably meant what I added, I've just grown tired of seeing the generic comments/questions of people asking if a game supports analog because they have an 8bitfo controller 🙃

              I feel like it's necessary to add the extra boring details unfortunately

      • Magicmagic on 02/11/2022 - 08:45

        Good review. Looks like you can't go wrong with either third party controller.

        Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro Controller is more accessible now in Australia with a few sellers.

        8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth looks hard to find at this point of time with only a seller on Aliexpress and with Amazon US. It'll probably be easier to get from early 2023 in Australia.

      Researched the KingKong 2 Pro a while back, and the input latency is pretty high, so buyer beware this is not a fighitng game/FPS controller.

    I recommend checking the Amazon US reviews since the QA for this controller isn't perfect
