I wondered if anyone had any experience with a controller that they used while docked? If the 20-30 8bitdo is as good as a one of the premium controllers, id prefer to save some money, since I don't own a console. If thought I'd ask the community, to see if anyone had any experience to share!

I got the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro a little while ago for the hall-effect joysticks and am liking it so far. Haven't used it a bunch with my Deck, but when I did, it worked well. It's $60, though, so maybe too pricey.

I've been using this for around 8 months now on PC and Deck.

  • Having multiple sync profiles each with different configurations is great if you use a variety of devices.
  • The hall effect sticks are obviously great.
  • Some of the programmable button combos can come in handy.

The only things I don't like about them are:

  • Sometimes it doesn't connect first try to my PC.
  • The right trigger developed a squeak after Diablo 4.

Would still definitely recommend though because you're basically getting an Xbox Elite controller for the price of a standard Xbox controller.

Have this one in my cart! Seemed like the best long term investment.

That was my thought. Impossible to say in just a few months, of course, but here's hoping it's legit!
