Gulikit NSW KingKong Pro 2 vs 8bitdo Pro 2

What are the pros and cons between the two?

I've been eyeing the 8bitdo Pro 2 for a while now for using on my PC, Android, and Switch. But then I saw that Gulikit was available locally as well at almost the same price.

I'm interested in the Gulikit because of the supposedly better joystick durability due to the hall effect joysticks.

Thoughts on these two controllers?

Any glaring issues I should know about?

Also I know both of these controllers don't support PS5, but it would be a plus if there's some way to use it on a ps5 as well.

Besides the lack of hall effect sensors, the biggest complaint I've heard about the 8bitdo is the ergonomics. Because of the shape, your sits have to stay at a sharper angle which causes joint fatigue much quicker than the KingKong.

Personally, I own the KKP2 and love it. The shape is exactly the same as on Xbox so if you're familiar with that and like the feel, I absolutely recommend the Gulikit controller.

I love the way the SN-30 Pro+ feels over an XBox style controller, but maybe that's because I grew up on an SNES controller.

Quite possibly. My first console was the PS1 was the steeper angle feels closer to a neutral posture for me, only problem with them being they became uncomfortably small as I grew up to the point I can't use them for very long without getting hand cramp. Needless to say the Switch's Joy-Cons were torture for me.
