Love the weight and shape. Slightly bigger and more contoured than a Switch Pro-Con. More like an XBOX controller. Great for bigger hands/longer fingers. All the buttons are more satisfying: X-Y-A-B are mechanical with a tactile bump, L/R shoulder buttons are clicky, LZ/RZ triggers have a longer, linear spring. Even the + - 📷 🏠 buttons are easier to find, and press without looking. Vibration is INSANE. Noticably, distractingly stronger than a ProCon. Probably could decrease it, but I haven't looked into it yet because I'm enjoying it... for now. And of course the joysticks are more sensitive (obviously no stick drift, but I've never had any on any of my ProCons/JoyCons and if I did, I'd void my warranty and repair it myself). Did a side-by-side calibration and the KK2P is more precise: no dead zone in the middle. Whereas the ProCon couldn't draw a circle without touching the side. Not really important in most games, but clearly superior technology. That said, the effect of the superior joysticks is that they feel less intuitive. Games like Smash Bros and Celeste, I notice a lag in my reaction time, confirmed by a few others. The thumb pads themselves are less comfortable and (at least in white) have started to discolor and the silver paint has worn off of the bottom of the sticks after only a few weeks of normal play. Also, the stippled back plate may be a plus for some, but I'd prefer rubberized plastic like the shells extreme rate makes for ProCon. I'd also prefer black or red buttons to the white on white, if I had my druthers. And finally, the connection is not quite as reliable as a ProCon. Occasionally, maybe half a dozen times in two weeks, the controller has disconnected and had to be re-paired. Once it even started malfunctioning while playing and needed to be disconnected and reconnected. Not a deal breaker for me, but something to take into consideration. Wake from sleep and amiibo support confirmed. Works just like ProCon. I don't know or care anything about macros, but I suppose it's nice to know they're an option to explore. Conclusion: this is an interesting and exciting ProCon alternative for casual, story-based, immersive games like Zelda TotK (which is what I bought it for). The subtle design and technological choices add up to a noticably different experience. It could be made even cooler and more comfortable with some more customization options for buttons and thumb pads. Competitive gamers who rely on familiarity will likely be better off with a pro con. Update: swapped the joysticks for some much more comfortable better looking black tops. (See last picture) Now I just wish I could swap out the buttons and d-pad as well. Review: A solid controller - I bought one of these KingKong 2 controllers (black) to use on my Nintendo Switch in hopes to avoid the dreaded stick drift that has begun to plague all my controllers across the various consoles I own even though I take care of all my controllers. My wife enjoyed using it so much that she asked me to purchase one for her as well (white). After a couple of months of use, neither I nor my wife are disappointed in them. We like how comfortable the rubberized grip feels holding them and they never slip in our hands. The sticks feel very responsive and have not had any issues with them. I love the case they come with that you can store them in for safe traveling as well. I personally prefer the black controller and black grip joysticks myself to avoid that inevitable yellowing of white sticks from months or years of daily use. Overall I prefer this controller over the official Nintendo Pro Controller. The only problem, if you can call that one, is that they can be DIY and if you are not comfortable connecting them to a PC computer to update the firmware then I'm not sure I can recommend them. If you're not comfortable with that you could recruit your child, friend or neighbor who is to update the controller for you. It's honestly a pretty easy process.

ALMOST great, but a few flaws undermine it
Decided to purchase this for using on PC, after another one of my Xbox controllers got unplayable stick drift just 2 weeks after purchase (series X, sent back for repair). I was soooo tired of every controller getting stick drift and this seemed to be the only product I could find that was actually purpose built to be drift-proof. So with that, here’s the good, the bad, and the rest: The Good: 1. Amazing thumbstick accuracy and response with practically no drift whatsoever 2. Lots of programmable customization options, including auto-fire, macro recording/playback, and much more 3. Multi-platform compatible and offers gyro/tilt aim support The Bad: 1. The Bluetooth connection was very often laggy, even after removing as many competing wireless devices as possible and using an extender on the usb receiver. It was so bad at times in fact that it was not playable in competitive FPS games and thus I had to use a long USB C cable to have a playable latency (*the company is aware of this issue and are making a proprietary usb receiver to fix the issue, I’m guessing to be purchased separately) 2. I don’t know if this was a one-off issue or more widespread, but the right trigger sporadically became stuck and would have to be pulled on to free. This cost me a win in one match, and is ultimately why I decided to return the controller. 3. This was a more of a slight inconvenience, but occasionally there would be some ghost trigger input (as if I was very very lightly pressing the trigger) that required me to do the recalibration key combo to reset it Summary: So why did I still give this 4 stars even though I returned it? Because it has the potential to be an amazing solution for an inevitable problem that plagues every other controller and forces people to have to buy new controllers almost yearly if you’re lucky. The hall sensor tech is amazing and if they can fix the 2 big issues I had (and especially if they start using an Xbox shell instead of Nintendo pro controller) then this would easily be the best controller on the market.

He tenido mandos XBOX, de pc, de switch y de todo tipo, y este sin duda, es de los mejores mandos que he tenido nunca, pedi uno al inicio que el botón de la B se me quedaba pillado lo noté en apenas 3h de juego, pedi un cambio en color blanco (lei mas reseñas que el modelo color negro tenia ese problema con los botones) y es perfecto, lo uso para movil, switch, pc, todo, es una calidad excepcional

Look, I’m a sucker for the Switch Joy Cons, I like the original SNES and N64 controllers. I’d tried out a few cheap “new” controllers, and hated them. I thought I would roll the dice one last time and try this one out. FREAKING AMAZING! Great feel on the sticks and buttons (the buttons stick out a fair bit which I like), and the little memory/replay button in the middle is an actual game changer. I wanted to level up some characters in Final Fantasy VI…I just recorded moving left and right and clicking A constantly and let auto-fight go. I walked away, and 30 minutes later I come back. One character died (rip), the other 3 were up 30+ levels. You know, it’s the little things like this in life that really make you smile! :-D

Wow! Ich erhoffe mir keinen Abnutz der Joysticks. Erster Eindruck der Hardware ist Top und scheint dem Versprechen gerecht werden zu Können. Zu dem Preis eine bessere Technologie in Händen zu halten ist einfach nur Klasse.

I recommend this seller to everyone.
