GuliKit "Reloads" KingKong 2 Controller Series with TMR Stick Model

[T0@st]

Game controller brands are engaged in a race to update their devices with the latest internal technologies—recent market entries have sported "cutting-edge" TMR analogue joysticks, and more are seemingly in the development pipeline. GuliKit has listed a new "Reloaded" KingKong 2 (KK2) offering that features TMR electromagnetic modules; its model name is (simply) abbreviated to "KK2T." On inspection, the upgraded variant is a visual match for the original black KK2 Pro multi-platform controller (2022). In comparison, the lower-end KK2 model does not sport fancy silver accents. The two mature models utilize Hall Effect sticks—this is another electromagnetic standard; now considered "old hat" by hardcore gaming controller enthusiasts.

TMR and Hall Effect modules are often advertised as "problem free" solutions, when lined up against traditional ALPS encoders. The even older standard has tendency to develop "stick drift"—most notably, the bane of Nintendo Switch Joy-Con owners. The likes of GameSir, 8BitDo, and GuliKit claim that their various modern gamepads are provisioned with "anti-stick drift" and "anti-drift performance" tech. Discerning audience members reckon that Hall Effect modules are not completely immune to developing faults; hence the emergence of TMR alternatives. Curiously, GuliKit's KingKong 3 (KK3) controller series has also received the TMR upgrade treatment. The basic model features "1000-level high precision" sticks, while fancier KK3 PRO and MAX packages make do with Hall Effect units.

updated all my PS five controllers to Gulikit TMR‘s, it turns out that when you buy the Gulikit stick TMR‘s, i have realized it is the stick tops, and the springs in the sticks that provides the magic, and the TMR effect is the big bonus.

after Five controllers moded/replaced joysticks (one stick drift, 4 working fine)… it is worth replacing working/new sticks in sonys controllers, because gulikit sticks have better comfort.
of course the TMR effect will last forever, but the joystick will age out or you get bored with the colour of it… lol…
