- How did we test it? I tested the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro for two weeks. The review unit was purchased by Android Authority.
- Is it worth it? It might have a quirky name and look like a clone of an Xbox gamepad, but the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro is the best near-universal Bluetooth controller I’ve tested to date. With joysticks that won’t suffer stick drift, a plethora of connectivity options, a sleek (if familiar) design, tons of customization options, and even amiibo support, the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro may lack fancy software and accessories, but it delivers on quality, versatility, and hides a few tricks to help you “cheat” your way to victory. It’s well worth the asking price and is often available for less than MSRP.
